The Chrysalis by Joe Ricci
DR. JOHN SICURA (65) A widow for almost two years. Father to Kerrigan and Vicki. Normally easy going but has grown restless living alone in the big house and yearns for more.
KERRIGAN SICURA (35) John’s younger daughter. Tightly pulled together and typeA. She is the breadwinner of her family pulling in a high 6-figure salary working a high-pressure job in finance. But can be quirky and funny. She is married to Colin.
COLIN (33) A former investigative reporter, he is now a stay-at-home dad for his and Kerrigan’s twin boys. Struggles with restlessness and loneliness with Kerrigan working so much.
VICKI SICURA (39) John’s older daughter. She is an artist in every aspect of her life. Not only does she follow her muse wherever it takes her, she always says what’s on her mind no matter how inappropriate.
OLIVIA DESANTOS (34) Very attractive and bubbly Real Estate Agent. A real pro, who always has a smile and does whatever she can to make the client comfortable.
The Cure by Alex Dremann
JOAN Matt’s mother. 52. This is a woman who has lots of stuff, both external and internal. She wears layers of clothing, a pair of glasses forgotten on her head and maybe two more in her purse— which is huge and full of way more stuff than she would ever need. Disheveled yes, but it all works for her— it’s never too much.
MATT Joan’s son. 24. Handsome, athletic, but otherwise an enigmatic blank slate. The same actor playing Matt also plays:
KIDNEY (Octavio),
LUNG (Mrs. Arasky),
SKIN (Hank),
EYES (Topher),
LIVER (Johnson) and
HEART (Mason).
AMANDA Nurse. 20’s. Blunt and sarcastic and perhaps terrible at her job or perhaps terribly awesome at her job.
ANNETTE Joan’s sister. About 50. Pragmatic, logical and has her shittogether.
NANCY Hospital administrator and transplant coordinator. 40’s-50’s. Hard-edged but wants people to like her. They don’t.
DAGNEY Matt’s ex-girlfriend. 20’s. (aka “WOMAN”)
