CHARACTERS:
• OLIVE MADISON (30’s-40) — A single woman making a great living for herself and lives in a nice big apartment on Riverside Drive. She is taking advantage of her newfound freedom as a woman but is also desperate for a man in her life (if only for a night) after being recently divorced. She is an incredibly sweet friend but at times a push over, especially to Florence. She is a terrible cook and a messy roommate but her free nature makes her fierce, honest, and lovable. (Is the opposite of Florence in many ways, but still loves her dearly)
• FLORENCE UNGER (30’s-40) — A woman at her breaking point, incredibly fragile, especially after her husband decides to leave her. She is always put together, but has no source of income or stability in her life. An excellent cook and homemaker, nothing makes her happier than when she is cleaning up a space for others to enjoy. Currently living with her friend Olive in her house on Riverside Drive. (Is the opposite of Olive in many ways, but still loves her dearly)
• MANOLO COSTAZUELA (30’s-50’s) — A kind man from Barcelona, brother to Jesus. Lives with his brother in the same building as Olive. (Over the top and somewhat of a caricature)
• JESUS COSTAZUELA (30’s-50’s) — A kind man from Barcelona, brother to Manolo. Lives with his brother in the same building as Olive. (Over the top and somewhat of a caricature)
• SYLVIE (30’s-40) — A blunt woman who loves to smoke and is newly pregnant. A close friend of Olive, Florence, Mickey, Renee, and Vera.
• MICKEY (30’s-40) — A logical and crude cop who is working class and tough on her husband and friends. A close friend of Olive, Florence, Sylvie, Renee, and Vera.
• RENEE (30’s-40) — A compassionate single woman who is practical, honest, and a feminist. A close friend of Olive, Florence, Sylvie, Mickey, and Vera.
• VERA (30’s-40) — A woman who is incredibly calm and caring, and a little prudish and conservative. A close friend of Olive, Florence, Sylvie, Mickey, and Renee.
*Note: For Manolo and Jesus auditions, a Spanish dialect is not required, but is encouraged as we will need one to be used for the show.
