FAMILY IS FAMILY

by Kathy Larson

Available Roles:
* Please note: this audition is for adults and teenagers only (13+). The children’s roles (Holly, Sarah, and Millie) will be filled by personal invitation.

George (40s - 50s) - single dad with 5 kids - 2 teenagers, 1 pre-teen, and 2 younger kids. George was widowed a few years ago and is just now “getting back on the horse” in the dating world, while dealing with a difficult situation at work and struggling to raise 5 kids on his own.

Dave (40s-60s) - George’s wacky brother. He’s a goof ball, kind of a train wreck personal life wise, but he helps out with the kids a lot, and really challenges George to be a good man.

Shelley (40s-50s) - George’s widow’s best friend. Single, but not at all interested in dating George. Helps out with the kids and is a great friend to George.

* other roles for adult women: there are several small parts for women George dates

Jessie (16ish) - George’s oldest. She’s the “perfect child,” but is hiding a wild side from everyone.

Hayden (16ish) - Jessie’s boyfriend. He’s part of the wild side.

* other teen roles: there are several roles for Jessie and Hayden’s friends, both guys and girls

Brad (14ish) - George’s second oldest. Brad is figuring out who he wants to be and pushing a lot of boundaries.

Holly (11) - The middle child. Nothing’s ever fair.

Sarah (9) - The pensive one. Sometimes you wonder how such an old soul lives in a 9 year old body.

Millie (6) - The baby. Spoiled rotten by all of them. Doesn’t really remember her mother at all.

Morgan (20s-30s, currently written as a female, could be tweaked to be a guy) - Jessie’s youth leader at church.

Performance Dates: Saturday, May 4 at 7:00 pm, Sunday, May 5 at 4:00 pm
