Of Eastern European descent. A recent widower, he is in danger of losing his independence despite being in good physical and mental health. Retired steel worker and history buff.

BILL (DANIEL/IRISH IMMIGRANT/PRIEST/ALEX)- Tenor Mid 30s. Emil's grandson who moves in with him after losing his home in Florida to foreclosure. After being the rock for his wife and kids, he's happy to fall into the safety net of his childhood home.

SAS/CLARA/YOUNG PEGGY) - Mezzo Mid 30s. Emil's grand-daughter-in-law. A former "it" girl in high school, she is ashamed to return to her hometown a failure.

JOEY (MARKI/EMIL AGE 12 and 14) - Tenor 12-14, Emil's great-grandson. He inherited Emil's sense of humor.

Coping with the death of her mother by trying to protect her father. LILLIAN (SOFIYA) - Soprano 20s-30s, Emil's late wife. Western European descent.
