Available Roles
5 M, 4 W
Dorothy: The hostess of the post-opening-night party.
Charlie: Dorothy’s somewhat “daft” husband.
Nathan: A recently divorced high-school teacher and terrible ventriloquist.
Wayne: A “lead actor” in the community theatre musical.
Jennifer: A young actress with a shot at Hollywood stardom.
Ernie: An actor in the troupe; “filled with ham and spite.”

Paul Cortland: A drama critic.
SYNOPSIS: After the opening night of the Timberly Troupers’ new musical, Dorothy and her slightly daft husband Charlie host an informal gathering of actors and friends. The guests include a divorced teacher-turned-bad-ventriloquist, a charming but unfocused actor, a rising starlet, a spiteful ham, his exasperated wife, and a drama critic who’s just broken his rule against reviewing community theater. Barbs fly, dreams crack, and loyalties are tested—but Dorothy’s warmth holds the evening together in a tender, funny look at ambition, disappointment, and the need to belong.
