6 roles

Franklin ShepardMale13-18 y.o.All ethnicities

His character ranges from an influential songwriter and film producer to an innocent, bright-eyed optimist in NYC. Talented and handsome but misled, tragic, and tormented.

Charley KringasMale13-18 y.o.All ethnicities

A stubborn, intense man with average looks. He ranges from a successful lyricist and Frank's long-time friend to a bright-eyed optimist creating his own opportunities in NYC.

Mary FlynnFemale13-18 y.o.All ethnicities

A middle-aged theatre critic. Her character arcs to the youthful, gorgeous 20-something living in NYC with best friend Frank. Sardonic, bitter, and witty.

Gussie CarnegieFemale13-18 y.o.All ethnicities

The flamboyant, self-invented actress. Her character begins at the end of her relationship with Frank, but throughout the show we see her grow more and more helplessly in love with him. Greedy and seductive.

Joe JosephsonMale13-18 y.o.All ethnicities

Big-talking Broadway producer and husband to Gussie. He later becomes pathetic and poor.

BethFemale13-18 y.o.All ethnicities

A naive and insecure middle-American who is the mother of Frank's son. She arcs from a down-trodden housewife at her wits end to a hopeless romantic at the beginning of her engagement to the man of her dreams.
