About The Play:

On Christmas Eve, unrequited love sets the spark that plunges five lives into chaos. As desires go unmet, trust erodes, spiraling these characters into a volatile web of lies. With each revelation, the pressure mounts, until everything shatters in a violent, explosive confrontation.

Character Descriptions:

ARCHER McCORMACK, mid 30’s, any ethnicity, brother to Sheila - Archer is strikingly handsome and effortlessly charismatic, his smile teetering between charm and menace. Though he presents himself with warmth and civility, a barely contained fury simmers just beneath his polished exterior. Light intimacy with another man required for the role.

SHEILA BARON mid/late 30’s, any ethnicity, Sister to Archer - Sheila is tough and unrefined, with a fierce, no-nonsense attitude. Aggressive by nature and fiercely loyal, she’s always ready to defend Archer at any cost.

HANK SUPINE, late twenties, any ethnicity - Hank is a dreamer with grand ideas and an even grander mouth, though substance rarely follows his words. He's full of ambition, but short on follow-through. Light intimacy with another man required for the role.

LULU DANCE, late 20’s/mid 30’s, any ethnicity - Lulu is gentle and unassuming, with a sweetness that feels timeless. Enchanted by old movies, she escapes into their worlds, dreaming of love and adventure. She's hopelessly smitten with Hank and, despite his aloofness, never stops trying to kindle a romance between them.

REDD DANCE, 50’s, any ethnicity - Owner of the Dance Diner and father to Lulu, he carries a gruff exterior that often masks a deeply tender and emotional core, especially when it comes to his daughter. His tough demeanor softens in her presence, revealing the heart beneath the bark.
