Group audition/Cold Reads
The play takes place on Labor day Weekend in the adjoined backyards of two middle-aged women. In one house lives Flo Owens, with with her two maturing daughters, Madge and Millie, and a boarder, Rosemary, a spinster school teacher. The other house belongs to Helen Potts, who lives with her elderly and invalid mother. Into this female atmosphere comes a young man named Hal Carter, whose animal vitality seriously upsets the entire group. While Helen embraces the excitement Hal brings on a hot summer day, Flo is wary of anything that might derail her daughters' futures. Madge, bored with being "the pretty one", risks her chances for a wealthy marriage when Hal arrives on the scene. Her sister, Millie, hovers on the brink of transformation through the stranger's brief attention. And Rosemary is spurred to demand change in her casual relationship with her beau.
The characters are as follows:
CHARACTERS
FEMALE:
Flo Owens – mother to Madge and Millie, stage age 40-ish. Flo has struggled to keep her daughters fed and clothed after their father left them. She hopes Madge will marry Alan and have the charmed life she didn’t have.
Madge – Flo’s pretty older daughter, stage age 18-20. Madge is much-admired, but she has dreams and desires that might confound all of her mother’s hopes.
Millie – Flo’s younger tomboyish daughter, stage age 15-ish. Smart, opinionated and living in Madge’s shadow, Millie struggles with finding her own identity.
Helen Potts – Flo’s neighbor, stage age 40+ Sweet and generous, close to the Owens family. Bears the weight of caring for her bedridden mother.
Rosemary Sydney – Flo’s tenant, schoolteacher, stage age 40+. The “queen bee” of the maiden schoolteachers. Likes to dress well and be the life of the party.
Irma Kronkite – schoolteacher, stage age 30+. Rosemary’s loud, boisterous friend.
Christine Schoenwalder – schoolteacher, stage age 25+. New to town buts fits right in with Rosemary’s gang.
MALE:
Hal Carter - drifter, former college football star, stage age 20-ish. Though Hal is rough around the corners, he has a charm and natural sexuality that make him popular with women.
Alan Seymour – Madge’s boyfriend, town rich-boy and fraternity brother of Hal’s, stage age 20-ish. Alan is smart and has good manners and adores Madge.
Howard Bevins – Rosemary’s boyfriend, local shop owner, stage age 40+. Howard is an easy going bachelor who is more interested in his store than romance and likes things between Rosemary and him just the way they are.
