Seeking 4 actors:  two male, two female: (three of the actors play two roles
each)

Actor 1:
ROSE -- 23 year-old fragile, bird-like young woman with osteogenesis
imperfects (brittle bone disease); gentle and honest but independent and
self-reliant
CASSIE AT 16--sexually adventurous teen who just wants to have a good time
without the restrictions of guilt or shame, but is uncomfortable when
someone takes the game too seriously

Actor 2:
MARC--early 20s, seems like a rude, over-confident jerk as a means of
self-defense
DOUGIE AT 16--naive male in love for the first time, somewhat possessive,
has accepted the traditional malarkey about what love is supposed to be like
in part due to his inexperience

Actor 3:
LARRY--late 50s-early 60s, long divorced but still not happy about it,
somewhat of a misogynist, gruff, foul-mouthed and somewhat brutish, but has
a soft streak and a genuine affection and concern for his son

Actor 4:
CASS - early 40s, married with children, hard life made harder by her own
mistakes, which has led to a cautious, no-nonsense approach when dealing
with people
SHERYL--mother, well-meaning but at her wit's end with her husband and
debilitated son, both of whom make her feel trapped and in need of escape

Please come prepared to read from the script.  A prepared monologue is
strongly encouraged, but optional.
