CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS
Jerry Lukowski - tenor. 32 year old unemployed steel worker. Divorced, father to Nathan. This blue collar, rough around the edges guy is a combination dreamer and slacker. Our everyman hero out to restore his MAN status.
Nathan Lukowski - 12 year old – wise crackin’ kid trying to make the best of a bad situation. Wise beyond his years.
Pam Lukowski - mezzo. Ex-wife of Jerry. Pragmatic and sensible – hasn’t lost the wild and crazy side Jerry fell in love with, but wants something more. Deep down she regrets Jerry’s inability to grow up.
Teddy Slaughter - Pam’s live in boyfriend – he’s asked her to marry him.
Dave Bukatinsky - tenor. Over-weight and unemployed – his lack of confidence in his looks, provider status and manhood is beginning to affect his relationship with his wife and his best friend Jerry.
