The Royal Family , a thinly-veiled portrait of the legendary Barrymores, portrays another renowned "Royal Family of Broadway", the Cavendish clan, comprised of three generations of legendary American actors: dowager Fanny Cavendish (Joanne Westervelt) widow of the premier actor of his day, who at seventy is planning an upcoming tour; brother Herbert (Richard Michael Roe), a histrionic player now in his decline; Fanny's daughter Julie (Benita Zahn), at the height of her Broadway fame; and son Tony (Randy McConnach), who has forsaken the stage for Hollywood. Heralding the third generation of players, Julie's daughter Gwen (Stephanie Insogna) is just beginning a promising ingenue career. 

Making up the cast of veterans and newcomers to Schenectady Civic's stage are: Jean T. Carney, James Dick, Richard Harte, Pat Hoffman, Stephanie G. Insogna, John Massaroni, Randy McConnagh, John J. Quinan, Richard Michael Roe, Joanne Westervelt, Bryant Williams, and Benita Zahn.
