"A Nice Family Christmas" Teen Audition for the Theater

The middle brother. Grew up in the shadow of his older brother, Michael, the doctor. Has a little inferiority complex toward Michael. He writes a column for the Minneapolis Star Tribune newspaper.

The older brother. The doctor. A little nerdy. Wears a bow tie. The favorite son, at least at first. He's a little self absorbed, a little blind to what he needs to do to keeps his marriage to Jill, his wife, intact.

The younger sister. Nice. Kind of a wholesome innocence, even given what we learn about her. Overlooked, but not angry about it.

Michael's trophy wife. Emotional from being hormonal. Sometimes a little spacey. The only one who seems to understand Grandma's crazy sayings.
