Cast Requirements:

Clara Nowak: Female, 55-75, All Ethnicities: Born in Poland but brought to the USA as an infant, the family matriarch, lives (present day) in an old rundown house in the Hydraulics section of Buffalo, NY; urban blight has settled in, and this particular dwelling sits behind a neighborhood soup kitchen which used to be a barber shop; there is a charmingly naive Old World peasant air about her.

Jimmy Nowak: Male, 30-40, All Ethnicities: Clara’s son, the baby, unmarried, a blue-collar, knock-around kind of guy, a garbage man with a secret of his own who loves to tweak his two older sisters, not a dumb guy at all, just not college material.

Beverly Nowak: Female, 30-40, All Ethnicities: Clara’s eldest daughter, unmarried, stereotypical bowling-mad character, frumpy, stirs up the (family) pot.

Ruth Nowak: Female, 30-40, All Ethnicities: Clara’s middle child, unmarried, an aspiring actress, gangly, awkward, and not the type men throw themselves at, but she has an appealing positive energy, a little classier than her brother and sister, but not by much, wants to turn the family story into a work of art on stage.
