Characters:<\/p>\n

Female:<\/p>\n

ELMA: High school senior, very smart, but naive. Familiarity with \"Romeo and Juliet\" helpful.<\/p>\n

CHERIE: Early 20's, pretty. Blond helpful but wigs available. Ability to handle Ozark Mountain accent and sing \"That Old Black Magic\" also helpful. She has had a short hard life but is basically tender and vulnerable. Chemistry with character of BO.<\/p>\n

GRACE: 30-50 years old, wisecracking but motherly, personality sparks with CARL.<\/p>\n

MALE:<\/p>\n

CARL: 30-50 years old, matches and sparks with \"GRACE.\"<\/p>\n

WILL: 40-50 age range, beard helpful but fakes available. Big, physically able and believably authoritative sheriff.<\/p>\n

BO: Early 20's, chemistry with CHERIE. Wild and crazy Montana cowboy, heroic rodeo abilities, loud and boastful, which hides his basic shyness and unfamiliarity with male\/female relationships.<\/p>\n

VIRGL: Another cowboy, but much quieter, mentor to BO. Guitar ability a major asset.<\/p>\n

DR. LYMAN: 50's. Learned and erudite, but mostly tipsy. Ability to quote poetry and join in hammy scene from \"Romeo and Juliet.\" Hiding, but not fully, from his pedophile background.<\/p>\n
