=20
Characters:
=20
SOAP OPERA STAR (SS):  42-50, attractive, well preserved, buxom.  =
Obviously
past the ing=E9nue character she has played in a popular soap opera,
struggling to come to grips with aging unsuccessfully because it =
affects her
livelihood as well as her life.  She is the most shallow of the 4, and =
is
manipulative because of her celebrity.  She runs from fearful to =
frustrated.
The evolution of her "friendship" with the others is the result of =
having to
look beyond "beauty" i.e. what is skin deep to what is real.  This =
character
can be Caucasian or Hispanic for the West Coast.
=20
IOWA HOUSEWIFE (IH):  44-48, not quite in shape, her clothes makes her =
look
frumpier than she really is, i.e. no sense of style.  She is in town =
with
her husband who is on a convention and is trying to rekindle their =
romance
on a second honeymoon, to no avail.  She wears bifocals and carries her
handbag over her arm constantly.  She had her children later in life so =
they
are still home.  She has a naive wisdom, she prattles oblivious to the =
fact
that no one is paying attention, the product of being a housewife and a
mother.  Until her hormones started to surge, she got her power from =
being a
wife and mother.  She is discovering - but waffles as she is doing it - =
what
her husband and kids have known all along, that she has strength and =
the
ability to control her own destiny.
=20
EARTH MOTHER (EM): 48-55, very "healthy" vegetarian, survivor of the =
60's
drug era, she wears Birkenstocks and socks, herbalist, astrologist.  =
She
lives in a community farm in Connecticut with her "husband" who she met =
at
Woodstock.  She is roly poly.  Of the four she has the least baggage, =
is
warmer, and the least judgmental.  She is the Mother Earth character =
that
one would expect IH to be, as long as she has had sleep.  However, she
doesn't get angry, only cranky.  She drums.  She is not self-conscious =
about
who and what she is, and is the most playful.  Unlike most women at =
this age
that are put into the position of "parenting" their parents due to =
aging or
ill health, she has been "mothering" her mother for the last several =
decades
(and marriages).  She loves and is lovable, both characteristics draw =
people
to her.
=20
PROFESSIONAL WOMAN (PW): 44-55, African American with an attitude, she =
is in
a position of power and has earned every dollar working twice as hard =
as her
male counterparts.  She has great legs under short skirts, is a control
freak, is out of control with the big "M" and has little patience with =
the
havoc it is wreaking on her life.  Her rise to the top of the heap, =
i.e.
owning her own company, has left her with little relationship with her
daughter, her mother, even her race.  She was never about Black Power, =
just
power.  It has always been difficult for her to identify if it was fear =
of
failure or fear of success that was the great motivator.  The =
frustration of
dealing with raging hormones is not only with the symptoms but her =
inability
to control them.  This perceived "failure" allows other part of her =
being a
woman to surface including accepting the knowledge that she is, in =
fact, not
alone on her mountain.
