CHARACTERS

Li’l Bit A woman who ages forty-something to eleven years old. (See Notes on the New York Production.)

Peck Attractive man in his forties. Despite a few problems, he should be played by an actor one might cast in the role of Atticus in To Kill a Mockingbird.

The Greek Chorus If possible, these three members should be able to sing three-part harmony.

Male Greek Chorus Plays Grandfather, Waiter, High School Boys. Thirties–forties. (See Notes on the New York Production.)

Female Greek Chorus Plays Mother, Aunt Mary, High School Girls. Thirty–fifty. (See Notes on the New York Production.)

Teenage Greek Chorus Plays Grandmother, high school girls and the voice of eleven-year-old Li’l Bit. Note on the casting of this actor: I would strongly recommend casting a young woman who is “of legal age,” that is, twenty-one to twenty-five years old who can look as close to eleven as possible. The contrast with the other cast members will help. If the actor is too young, the audience may feel uncomfortable. (See Notes on the New York Production.)
