    A whimsical piece with lots of charm and charisma that makes you want to see everything up on stage. Extremely likable characters and fun, sit-com-like actions. Excited to see the future of this production!

Arlene, late 40’s early 50’s. A real nice lady
Richard, early-mid 50’s. A nebbish with big dreams
Leeza, late 30’s early 40’s. Fabulous. Probably has an accent
Gary, 40’s or 50’s. An odd one.
All characters any race, identity, ability and size. Should identify as magical, as should we all
