Rita (mid 20’s to early 30’s): Beautiful, but unaware of how beautiful she is.  Lost – she’s looking for purpose and passion, and finds much of that in Peter.  Puts on a brave front, but underneath is very afraid of life and the future. 

Old Man (late 50’s and up): Grizzled, weary with a faded, biting humor underneath.  This gentleman is in the beginning stages of Alzheimer’s and has only a few months left to live.  He is fascinated by Rita – her beauty, youth and openness. 

Dr. Boyle (mid 50’s to mid 60’s): Also plays Party Guest.  Devoted to his family, was once very close with Rita, but knows he’s now a bit disconnected from her.  He is fiercely protective of her. 

Mrs. Boyle (mid 50’s to mid 60’s): Also plays Party Guest.  Gets a huge kick out of her husband, but is envious of the bond between Rita and her father. 

Leah (mid 30’s to early 40’s):  Also plays Party Guest, Aunt Dorothy.  The Old Man’s daughter.  Exhausted, long-suffering. 

Taylor (late 20’s to early 30’s): Peter’s best friend.  Wisecracks a lot, fancies himself a ladies’ man.  The constant self-deprecation belies a great deal of insecurity. 

Tom (late 30’s to late 40’s): Also plays Uncle Fred and Partyguest.  Bartender at Rita’s job.  Protective of Rita.
