*CHARACTERS*:

*Jay* (actor appears to be 16-18 years old) is the older brother of Arty and
the more serious of the brothers.  He is harassed by Grandma more than his
brother.



*Arty*  (actor appears to be 12-15 years old) is the younger brother of
Arty. He is quick-witted and sharp tongued.  Grandma thinks he is “the smart
one.”



*Eddie* (40-50 years old)  is the father of Jay and Arty, and older brother
to Louie and Gert. He is raising his boys alone after the death of his wife
while paying back debt owed to a loan shark and pleasing his strict mother.
He tries to be an agreeable son despite his deep-seeded anger towards his
mother.



*Bella* (35-40 years old) is Grandma Kurnitz's mentally impaired daughter
and the aunt of Jay and Arty.  Bella has lived at home all her life and is
now taking care of her aging mother while trying to seek a romantic
relationship. Often confused, overly enthusiastic and tender.



*Grandma Kurnitz* (appears 70-odd years old) is the mother of Eddie, Bella,
Louie and Gert.  A strict, strong and fiercely guarded woman, Grandma is a
woman of few words who speaks in a heavy German accent.



*Louie*  (36-40 years old) is the brother of Eddie, Bella and Gert and is
the toughest of the Kurnitz children.  He is a henchman for the mob.



*Gert*  (35-40 years old) is the sister of Eddie, Bella and Louie.  As a
result of her mother’s harsh parenting, she has a breathing problem that
causes her to start each sentence breathing out and to end her sentences
breathing in.
