Character Breakdown:
3 Women and 4 Men
The Women- Theresa Bedell: (age 35–40) Writer for The World magazine in New York. Attractive, independent, strong, and used to being on her own. (NOTE: This is a demanding role as the actress will be onstage for 95 percent of the play. Anyone with major conflicts during the rehearsal process will not be considered for this role.)
- Harriet: (early 20s) Theresa's research assistant. Attractive, nervous, always tries to do the right thing. Harriet is a people pleaser.
- Madeline Beck: (age 40–50) Police officer. Hardened, experienced, matter-of-fact, and college educated. She chose to work this detail because she wants to make a difference.
The Men
- Tony: (age 20s–30s) Attractive, but not "smooth." He tries very hard to impress women, but always seems to go too far.
- Howard Siegel: (50s–60s) Theresa's boss and mentor, editor of The World. He is a father figure to Theresa. Caring, attentive, but a member of the "men's club" and of "a certain generation" when it comes to dealing with women.
- Mercer Stevens: (30s) Theresa's co-worker, a writer for the magazine. Competitive and the newest writer for the magazine.
- Les Kennkat: (70s) Movie producer and director of low-budget, 1960's sexploitation movies. He is without pretense and takes pride in his work. Honest, forthright, and lonely.
