Character Breakdown

Female. 40-50.
Alto (F3–D5). (Moments of intimacy with the actor playing Joe.)
A smart, efficient, widowed mother of a teenage son who is constantly being
passed up for promotion in the boys’-club world of climbing the corporate ladder. She is frustrated with her position, but not bitter. Witty, strong, ambitious.

Female. 25-40.
Mezzo-soprano (Ab3–F5). (Moments of intimacy with the actors playing Frank and Dick.)
A meek housewife with her first foray into the working world when her husband runs off with his secretary. A bit insecure, but still determined, and hopeful.
