Show Information:

The hilarious story of five women who inherit equal shares in a dilapidated theatre and plan to bring it back to life again. They try various fundraising schemes, but their most ambitious is to hold a concert featuring local talent and a world-famous star who agrees to appear for no fee! However, their plans go awry and it's a race to keep their audience from guessing the truth of the matter. A fast-paced and very funny comedy with five great roles for women.

Character Information THERESA, female, 20’s: Theresa is the backbone of the family and the one who earnestly believes that if these 5 women can learn to get along, the theater will succeed. She is optimistic and practical, and not much gets under her skin. She gets along well with everyone. PAM, female, 40 - 50: Theresa’s mother, ex-wife to the deceased. Quick witted and funny, but dry and a bit severe. She is very insecure under the mask that she has crafted well. She does not want to keep the theater. She does not want to learn to get along with… JACKIE, female, 40 - 50: the second wife of the deceased. Jackie is the opposite of Pam. She is a successful business woman with a very large heart and mild manner. Pretty, well dressed, and has the patience of a saint. She is still mourning the loss of her husband, but bravely moves forward with the renovations to the theater to stay connected to him. BETTY, female, 60 - 70: Theresa’s Grandmother, mother of the deceased. Even though she is not Pam’s mother, she and Pam get along quite well. Betty says much with very few words. She is very funny and is willing to do whatever is called upon her to make the theater a success for Theresa. PLEASE NOTE: the actress who plays Betty must wear, and move comfortably in a complete bear costume. Betty also must be able to work the audience with improv. SHARON, female, any age between 20 - 50: The executive assistant to the deceased.She is a gothic punk. Sharon has a dry, earnest wit and is steadfast and extremely loyal. Her boyfriend, Stevey, is….something, but she is dedicated to him no matter what. PLEASE NOTE: Sharon must be able to work the audience with improv.
