CHARACTER LIST:

Madge Owens: plays College Age
Beautiful, restless, emotionally deeper than she appears
Madge is widely regarded as “the prettiest girl in town.” Her beauty has shaped how others treat her, often reducing her to appearance rather than substance. Beneath that surface is a young woman craving something larger than her small Kansas life.  She is: Sensitive, Intelligent but under-encouraged, Torn between security and passion
Her arc is the emotional spine of the play — she must choose between a safe, predictable future and a risky, authentic one.
 
Millie Owens: Plays Highschool age
Smart, awkward, sharp-tongued, Madge’s younger sister. Not conventionally pretty, but intellectually strong and observant. Millie feels overlooked and defensive because she’s constantly compared to Madge. She is: Academic, Insecure, Funny in a dry, biting way, Secretly yearning for validation, She represents the fear of being invisible.
 
Flo Owens: plays mid 40s to late 50s
Hard-working, pragmatic, anxious.  Widowed mother of Madge and Millie. Flo has struggled financially and emotionally, and she believes stability is the most important thing in life. She pushes Madge toward a “good match” because she fears instability.
She is: Loving but controlling, practical, worn down by life. Desperate to prevent her daughters from repeating her hardships.
Her conflict is rooted in fear disguised as practicality.
 
Hal Carter: plays college age
Magnetic, physical, emotionally untethered. A drifter who arrives in town looking for work. Handsome and athletic, Hal radiates natural charisma. He is intelligent but undereducated, shaped by instability and abandonment. He is: Proud, vulnerable beneath bravado, quick-tempered, romantic in a raw, instinctual way.
Hal represents freedom, danger, and possibility. His connection with Madge is immediate and disruptive.
 
Alan Seymour: plays college age
Clean-cut, respectable, contained.  Madge’s steady boyfriend. Alan is responsible, educated, and socially secure. He offers safety and predictability. He is: Polite, emotionally restrained, slightly jealous, conflict-averse. Alan represents the stable path Madge is expected to take.
 
Rosemary Sydney: plays late 30s to mid 50s
Lonely, volatile, sharp-edged. A schoolteacher boarding with the Potts family. Rosemary is painfully aware of aging and lost opportunities. Her insecurity makes her defensive and occasionally cruel. She is: Intelligent, bitter at times, desperate for love, capable of sudden emotional breakdown.
