Cast
2 Men/9 Women (*Double Casting
Recommended for all roles but "Ted")
- TED (mid 20s-early 40s) - low key, easy-going, pleasant and
not overly emotional, your generally nice guy.
- WAITER - (mid 20s-early 40s) - nice guy, polite, sincere,
- PATTY - (mid 20s-early 40s) - nice, but superficial
- CHERYL - (mid 20s-early 40s) - never lets her guard down, got
burned before and isnt going to let it happen again
- SONYA - (mid 20s-early 40s) - always in control, very
condescending
- TINA - (mid 20s-early 40s) - husband-hunting
- TRACY - (mid 20s-early 40s) - trailer trash, strong and abrasive
- LINDA - (mid 20s-early 40s) - just like Tracy, though not as
strong
- MARTY - (mid 20s-early 40s) - a friend of Teds
- JOYCE - (mid 20s-early 40s) - spunky and opinionated, has a strong
love for language
- ELLEN - (mid 20s-early 40s) - the Audrey Hepburn from next door
Double-casting is recommended for all characters except Ted. Women should be
double-cast according to their abilities. For instance, having the actress who plays Ellen play that role only (instead of double-casting her)
may add to the significance of the final scene. The waiter may be used throughout the show
as the director sees fit, to serve drinks, clear plates, etc.
