CASTING BREAKDOWN
Total cast: 3 women, 1 man. All described ages are approximate.
Fran – Female, mid 30s–early 50s. Smart, funny, and tired. She’s broke, chronically single, and carrying more family responsibility than she lets on. Defensive humor and a Brooklyn edge, but with a really tender core once she trusts you. Needs someone who can play both banter and grief.
Owen – Male, late 40s–50s. Owner of the laundromat. Direct, decent, a little banged up by life but still believes in connection. Blue-collar warmth, not slick. Chemistry with Fran should feel unlikely-but-right.
Trish – Female, 40s–60s. Fran’s sister who is seriously ill. Sharp, honest, and still funny even when things are rough. There’s history in this relationship- love, guilt, obligation. Actor should be able to play vulnerability without sentimentality.
Susie – Female, 30s–50s. The other sister. More outspoken, more “say the thing out loud,” and not afraid to challenge Fran’s choices. A source of tough love and family reality. Good role for someone with strong contemporary timing.

CASTING BREAKDOWN
Total cast: 3 women, 3 men. All described ages are approximate.
Sylvia – Female, 20s–50s. Romantic, impulsive, and emotionally bold. She believes honesty is the highest virtue—even when it detonates everyone else’s lives. Big heart, big choices, excellent comic instincts. Must balance sincerity with fearless farce.
Beau – Male, 20s–50s. Sylvia’s lover. Charming, confident, and deeply unprepared for consequences. He thinks he’s in control until everything proves otherwise. Strong comedic timing and physical comedy chops a must.
Clarke – Male, 30s–60s. Sylvia’s husband. Proper, British, and emotionally restrained—until the cracks begin to show. Starts composed and slowly unravels in increasingly hilarious ways. Needs precision, restraint, and a knack for escalation.
Marjorie – Female, 30s–60s. Beau’s wife. Sharp, perceptive, and underestimated at first glance. Carries quiet authority and emotional intelligence. A grounded presence who still fully commits to the comedy.
Dierdre – Female, 20s–50s. Clarke’s sister. Blunt, witty, and refreshingly unconcerned with social niceties. A catalyst for chaos with impeccable timing. Great role for someone who enjoys playing bold and unapologetic.
Richard – Male, 20s–50s. A man of faith with surprising confidence and edge. Earnest without being naïve, and very comfortable speaking his truth. Needs to be grounded, funny, and open-hearted.

CASTING BREAKDOWN
Total cast: 2 women, 1 man, 1 narrator. All described ages are approximate.
Ella – Female, 30s. Smart, funny, emotionally guarded, and deeply exhausted by life. Struggling with depression, grief, and a sense of drifting. Dry humor masks vulnerability. Actor must handle rapid tonal shifts and emotional honesty without sentimentality.
Lou – Male, 60s–70s. Ella’s father. Warm, stubborn, and well-meaning, with his own blind spots. Uses optimism and practicality to avoid difficult emotional truths. Needs grounded presence and quiet emotional weight.
Peg – Female, 50s–60s. Ella’s mother. Appears through phone calls and memories. Loving, complicated, and emotionally perceptive. A strong, clear voice is essential—both literally and emotionally.
Maps – Any gender, any age. A narrator and guide. Wry, observant, and gently playful. Bridges time, memory, and geography. Must be comfortable speaking directly to the audience and shifting tone with ease.
