Cast Requirements: 8 Roles

 

In the bleachers at Chicago’s Wrigley Field, die hard Cub fans root for their team. The group includes a rabid cheerleader, a blind man who follows the game by transistor radio and does his own play by play, a bathing beauty, a nerd and various other bleacher denizens. As the game proceeds, they bet among themselves on every conceivable event, go out for frosty malts or beers, try to pick up the bathing beauty and, occasionally, watch the game.

 

MELODY (18-30) – serious sun-worshiping bathing beauty.
GREG (18-30)- a gentle young person, blind from birth and a true fan of the game.
ZIG (45-65) – older curmudgeon who can smoke and yell at the players at the same time.
DECKER (40-65) – a successful, energetic businessperson.
RICHIE (21-30) – younger fan who looks up to the other bums.
MARVIN (45-65) – professional gambler and bit of a nudge.
CHEERLEADER (18-35) – hyperactive super-fan who isn’t always welcomed by the bums.
ROSE (35-55) – Zig’s wife and a closeted Cubs fan.
THE GUARD (Any) – typical Wrigley Field guard.
