Vanderhof: Late 60s-Mid 70s, Paul's father-in-law, Penny's father,
Alice and Essie's grandfather, warm, happy man whom the years have treated
kindly, his face is youthful, despite the lines that seam it, his eyes
are very much alive, made his peace with the world long long ago, and his
whole attitude and manner are quietly persuasive than this, exudes a gentle
authority, the patience of a philosopher, a wry wit and a twinkle in his
eye, as does everyone in the play, loves his family deeply, treats everyone
he comes in contact with equally, be they a man on the street or a king
on the throne, has never paid his income tax, because he doesn't believe
in it, as he feels that the government wouldn't know what to do with the
money if he paid it, lives his life by the philosophy "don't do anything
that you're not going to enjoy doing"; Paul Sycamore: Very
Late 40s-Mid 50s, Essie and Alice's father, Penny's husband, Grandpa's
son-in-law, has a kind of youthful charm, his quiet charm and mild manner
are distinctly engaging, delights in manufacturing fireworks in the basement
with the help of his assistant, Mr. De Pinna, loves his daughter Alice
very much;
Ed Carmichael: Mid 30s, Essie's husband, Paul
and Penny's son-in-law, extremely good-natured and innocent, xylophone
player, distributes Essie's candies, amateur printer who prints anything
that sounds good to him, places little quotes in boxes of Essie's candy,
which gets him into trouble when the government thinks he is printing anti-American
propaganda, just loves the way the words sound, playing the xylophone is
certainly a plus but definitely not necessary; Tony Kirby:
Mid 20s, fiancé of Alice, Mr. and Mrs. Kirby's son, vice-president
of Kirby and Co., very handsome, intelligent, charming, romantic, not long
out of Yale, fits all the physical requirements of a boss's son, his face
has something of an idealist in it, hopelessly in love with Alive, his
own family is very proper, has many issues none of them will admit, sees
the Sycamores as the really perfect family; Boris Koklenkhov:
40s-60s, Russian, escaped to America shortly before the Russian revolution,
Essie's ballet instructor, knows she's not good at dancing, but knows that
she enjoys it, so he keeps working with her, an honorary member of the
Sycamore family, and always welcome, very, very Russian, has a larger-than-life
personality, is not afraid to tell anybody what he thinks or feels about
them, embraces life to the fullest; Mr. Kirby: Late 50s-Early
60s, Mrs. Kirby's husband, Tony's father, very proper, pompous man, president
of Kirby and Co., his hobby is raising expensive orchids, also a member
of the Harvard Society, the Union Club, the National Geographic Society,
and the Racquet Club, through the course of the play, he realizes that
he despises his job, accepts and understands Grandpa's philosophy of life
and accepts the fact that Tony and Alice are a perfect match; Mr.
De Pinna: Mid 40s-Mid 50s, iceman who delivered ice to the house
one day and never left, he simply was accepted, and joined the family,
bald-headed man with a serious manner, loves helping Ed to build his fireworks,
moonlights as a model in Mrs. Sycamore's paintings, could be short and
round, but not necessarily; Donald: Mid 30s, male, African-American,
Rheba's boyfriend, affable, good-natured, enjoys the wonderful madness
of the Sycamore family; Henderson: Mid 30s, IRS employee,
comes to collect the tax money Grandpa owes, can't understand why Grandpa
won't pay income tax, very official and officious; Penny Vanderhof
Sycamore: Very Late 40s-Mid 50s, Essie and Alice's mother, Paul's
wife, Grandpa's daughter, comfortable-looking, gentle and homey, warm and
caring, one would not suspect that under that placid exterior there surges
the Divine Urge but it does, one day, a typewriter arrived at the house,
and for the past eight years, she's become a playwright, the first two
years didn't really count because she was learning to type, at times may
seem a bit vague, but that's only because she is completely happy in her
own world, has a blithe, light tough, fervent optimism, boundless energy,
and feminine charm, the mother of her brood, loves and cares for them fiercely;
Alice
Sycamore: Early 20s, Grandpa's granddaughter and Penny's daughter,
but there is something that sets her apart from the rest of the family,
for one thing, she is in daily contact with the world, and in addition,
she seems to have escaped the tinge of mild insanity that pervades the
rest of them, but she is a Sycamore for all that, and her devotion and
love for them are plainly apparent, lovely, fresh as paint and head-over-heels
in love with Tony, her boss's son, exudes warmth and romance, but with
a grounded awareness of the real world; Essie Carmichael:
Late 20s, Penny's eldest daughter, has the curious air of a pixie about
her, obsessed with becoming a ballet dancer, has been studying for years,
but actually isn't very good (but it doesn't matter, because she think
she's wonderful), also an avid maker of homemade candy, so between her
candy and her ballet, she couldn't be happier, has a wonderful innocence
and naivete, very much in love with her husband Ed, does the entire play
either in ballet slippers or en pointe, casting personnel are not necessarily
looking for a dancer, but someone who could have aptitude to learn, or
a dancer; Rheba: Mid 30s, female, African-American, the Sycamore's
maid, an equal part of the family, game for anything, with a wry sense
of humor, absolutely adores being a part of the Sycamore family, in love
with Donald, who is on relief after the war; Mrs. Kirby:
Late 50s-Early 60s, handsome woman, classic snobbish, upper-class society
matron, Tony's mother, completely resistant to any change in her insulated,
upper-crust sensibility, on the surface, she never displays anything less
than frosty good manners, very prim and proper, stays up with the fads
of the times, her hobby is spiritualism; Gay Wellington:
30s-50s, Penny meets this actress on a bus, and asks her to read her plays,
what Penny and everyone else soon realizes is that Gay is a hopeless drunk
who can barely stand and utter a word, let alone read a play, in fact,
within in the first five minutes of her entrance, she passes out and comes
to at the most embarrassing moments possible; Grand Duchess Olga
Katrina: 60s-Early 70s, one of the Grand Duchesses of Russia, before
the revolution, since then, she has been forced to flee to American, where
she has found work as a waitress in Childs Restaurant (but once a duchess,
always a duchess), "star" cameo possible. Note: We encourage performers
of all ethnicities to attend. All actors in the play must have light comedy
experience and have the ability to make these characters not only comic
but also endearingly truthful. Prepare a brief (preferably 1-2 minutes)
monologue; suggested authors include Kaufman & Hart, Neil Simon, S.N.
Behrman, Wendy Wasserstein, Lindsay & Crouse, and Alfred Uhry. Bring
