beautiful backyard on a home in Arizona. Brooke Wyeth returns home to
Palm Springs after a six-year absence to celebrate Christmas with her
parents, her brother, and her aunt. She announces that she is about to
publish a memoir, dredging up a pivotal and tragic event in the family’s
history- a wound that they don’t want reopened. In effect, she draws a
line in the sand and dares them all to cross it. They are forced to
reveal a painful secret to her, in order to prevent the public from
finding the truth.</span></p><p class="gmail-font_9" style="line-height:1.55em"><span class="gmail-color_15"><span style="text-decoration:underline"><span style="font-weight:bold">AVAILABLE ROLES (3 women, 2 men)<br></span></span></span></p><p class="gmail-font_9" style="line-height:1.55em"><span class="gmail-color_15"></span></p><p class="gmail-font_9" style="line-height:1.55em"><span class="gmail-color_15"><span style="font-weight:bold">Brooke Wyeth (30s to 40s)</span> -
The central character. Recently hospitalized for a clinical breakdown
and still on medication. She has written a tell-all memoir about her
family, specifically about her older brother Henry and his suicide. She
has come home, unsure if she can publish her book without her family’s
approval. Despite her liberal views she is more similar to her mother
than she would like to admit.</span></p><p class="gmail-font_9" style="line-height:1.55em"><span class="gmail-color_15"><span style="font-weight:bold">Polly Wyeth (50s to 60s)</span> -
Lyman’s wife, Silda’s sister and mother to Brooke and Trip. She is
elegant, smart, acerbic, controlling and calculating. She has strong
conservative views and believes in “tough love”. She is a realist who is
fiercely dedicated to her family’s survival.</span></p><p class="gmail-font_9" style="line-height:1.55em"><span class="gmail-color_15"></span></p><p class="gmail-font_9" style="line-height:1.55em"><span class="gmail-color_15"><span style="font-weight:bold">Lyman Wyeth (50s to 60s</span>) -
Head of the family, husband to Polly, Brooke and Trip’s father. Lyman
is a sturdy man and a strong believer in American traditions and values.
He is a former movie actor turned politician and ambassador for the
Republican party. More diplomatic than his wife and overly protective of
Brooke.</span></p><p class="gmail-font_9" style="line-height:1.55em"><span class="gmail-color_15"></span></p><p class="gmail-font_9" style="line-height:1.55em"><span class="gmail-color_15"><span style="font-weight:bold">Silda Grauman (50s to 60s)</span> -
Polly’s sister. She is a recovering alcoholic and is currently staying
with Polly and Lyman. Creative, fragile, funny and bohemian she is the
opposite of her sister. Silda has helped Brooke to write her memoir and
has a volatile but loving relationship with her sister Polly. A complex
role for which Judith Light won a Tony for best featured actress in a
play.</span></p><p class="gmail-font_9" style="line-height:1.55em"><span class="gmail-color_15"></span></p><p class="gmail-font_9" style="line-height:1.55em"><span class="gmail-color_15"><span style="font-weight:bold">Trip Wyeth (20s to 30s)</span> -
Trip is Brooke’s brother, roughly ten years her junior. He is a bright,
funny television producer. He is caught in the middle of the tension
between Brooke and his parents. Trip’s way of surviving is to adopt a
‘let it go, it’s all fine’ attitude. He has always lived in the shadow
of his older brother Henry whom he never knew and isn’t as happy as he
seems.</span></p><p class="gmail-font_9" style="line-height:1.55em"><span class="gmail-color_15"><b>(More info/details at <a href="http://www.civicplayers.org">www.civicplayers.org</a>)</b><br></span></p><p class="gmail-font_9" style="line-height:1.55em"><span class="gmail-color_15"><span class="gmail-wixGuard"></span></span></p></div></div>
