(Male - Age 20-35, tenor) Finch is young and driven to succeed in the business world. He exhibits a great amount of charm and pluck but is never completely trustworthy. He will vacillate between uncertainty and over-confidence. J.B. BIGGLEY - President of the Worldwide Wicket Company. (Male - Age 45-60, baritone) Biggley is a self-important blowhard. He is the head of the company and makes sure everyone knows it. However, he is completely brought to his knees by the women in his life. BUD FRUMP - Biggley's nephew. (Male - Age 20-40, tenor) Frump is a lazy weasel who expects to succeed in the company through nepotism. He appears to have everything put together, but the people who know him, know the truth. ROSEMARY PILKINGTON - Office Secretary (Female - Age 20-35, mezzo or alto) Rosemary is beautiful, loyal and long-suffering.

MISS JONES - Mr. Biggsley's secretary (Female - Age 20-60, high belt) Miss Jones is the extremely gruff executive secretary to the head of the company. She is the one that keeps Biggley in line, and all of the employees try to stay out of her way. She breaks this mold late in the show with an upbeat solo. This character must be a belter. BERT BRATT - Personnel Manager (Male - Age 20-60, baritone) Harried executive that does a quality job. Bratt is central to the hirings and firings that move the plot along and is one of the only executives who seems to do his job.

He is a genuinely likeable guy. WALLY WOMPER - Chairman of the Board (Male - Age 40-70, baritone) Womper is a grumpy looking man who is largely silent. When he does speak, he is revealed to be a gruff but charming man who is proud of his blue-collar background.

Godot shows up at last at BorderLight - a week from today!
by Robert Hawkes 18 Jul '19

18 Jul '19

BorderLight Internaional Theatre + Fringe Festival presents Waiting on Godot A Jest in One Act Written by Robert Hawkes Directed by Susan Soltis Thursday, July 25 at 7:30 pm Friday, July 26 at 10:30 pm Saturday, July 27 at 1:30 pm Festival info: https://www.borderlightcle.org/ Our Show page: https://www.borderlightcle.org/waiting-on-godot/ Our venue - the Hermit Club (Grille): https://www.borderlightcle.org/hermit-club/ Online ticket sales - All tickets $12: https://www.borderlightcle.org/boxoffice/ ABOUT THE PLAY *Waiting on Godot* was inspired by the author's noticing how many folk say "waiting on" when he would say "waiting for". A potential *Waiting on Godot, *rather than *Waiting for Godot, *sounded to him as though the play might take place in a restaurant. And so our play does indeed take place at "Chez Lucky", a modest eatery where Godot finally does show up, and where he causes some confusion by placing an unusual dinner order with the staff. Robert Hawkes appears as Godot; David L. Munnell and Kim Woodworth wait on him; Nate Homolka and Jaclyn Czifranics have been waiting for him elsewhere. Our play runs something over half an hour. It is light and humorous in mood, though it implies a few "deep" questions for those in the mood. The play evoked enthusiastic response in a cold reading at Cleveland Public Theatre's Dark Room.
