Character descriptions:
(The character ages are given as a GUIDE ONLY – the director does not want to dissuade those who may not be the ACTUAL age of the character from auditioning. Make-up does wonders!)
George Hay (50’s), a traveling actor
Charlotte (50’s), George's wife and the lead actress in his company
Rosalind (20's-30's), George & Charlotte's daughter, who left the stage to lead a “normal” life
Howard (20’s-30’s), a TV weatherman and Rosalind's fiancé
Paul (30's), stage manager for George's company, and Rosalind's ex-fiancé
Ethel (70’s), Charlotte's nearly-deaf mother
Richard (50's), a lawyer who is courting Charlotte
Eileen (20’s), an actress in George's company
Charlotte and George Hay, an acting couple not exactly the Lunts, are on a tour in Buffalo in 1953 with a repertory consisting of Cyrano de Bergerac (“revised, one nostril version”) and Noel Coward’s Private Lives. This backstage farce by the author of Lend Me A Tenor brought Carol Burnett back to Broadway co-starring with Philip Bosco as her megalomaniac, drunken husband and leading man. Fate has given these thespians one more shot at starring roles in the Scarlet Pimpernel epic, and director Frank Capra himself is en route to Buffalo to catch their matinee performance. Will Charlotte appear, or run off with their agent? Will George be sober enough to emote? Will Capra see Cyrano, Private Lives or a disturbing mixture of the two? Hilarious misunderstandings pile on madcap misadventures in this valentine to Theatre Hams everywhere.
