Casting Breakdown: Ages are Flexible*



Jojo-untenured English professor (mid 40′s) -Somewhat dowdy, she seethes
with suppressed passions. She likes to think of herself as the wise and
benevolent eldest sister, but she is hyper-sensitive and given to sudden
displays of histrionics.



Jayne-successful Wall Street shark (late 30′s/early 40′s) -Severely closeted
lesbian. Jayne is the middle child. She believes there is no problem that
cannot be solved using a flow chart, and deludes herself that her emotions
are under strict control. She is, in fact, a ferocious marshmellow.



Jelly-(30′s) youngest, self employed, self-supporting, artist- Despite her
sister’s beliefs, Jelly is not only a serious artist, she is revealed as the
most responsible and pragmatic of the three. She sympathizes with and loves
her sisters, and is tortured by the battle that rages between them. She is
very tolerant, but, in the end, she can only be pushed so far…


Please email Kristen van Ginhoven at kristen at wamtheatre.com with your
