ABOUT THE SHOW:
This 1960s farce centers on Bernard, who has Italian, German, and American fiancées, each a beautiful airline hostess with frequent “layovers.” He keeps “one up, one down, and one pending” without them knowing about each other by abiding by a strict schedule. Bernard’s life gets bumpy, though, when his friend Robert comes to stay, and complications such as weather and a new, speedier Boeing jet disrupt his careful planning. Soon, all three stewardesses are in the city simultaneously and catastrophe looms.
CHARACTERS: Strong comedic timing and physical skills needed.
BERNARD (30s - 40s): An American bachelor who resides in Paris, working as an architect. He is charming and attractive, as well as seductive. He is engaged to three flight attendants, and uses flight schedules to keep "one up, one down, and one pending," ensuring the women are never in his apartment at the same time. He is proud of his deception, until it starts to unravel (along with his confidence).
ROBERT (30s - 40s): An American friend of Bernard's who travels to Paris from Wisconsin. A shy, sweet, small-town boy, Robert initially disapproves of Bernard's situation-though he can admit it has its advantages. He admires Bernard's ability to keep things balanced. Soon, however, Robert is caught up in the game himself, trying to keep Bernard's plan intact and stop his own anxiety from spinning out of control.
BERTHE (age non-specific): Bernard's housekeeper. Berthe is an obedient and meticulous maid, which makes her integral to Bernard's charade, but she isn't shy about voicing her growing dissatisfaction with Bernard's revolving-door lifestyle. Wonderfully sarcastic and blunt; also exhausted and exasperated. (French accent.)
GLORIA (20s - 30s): Bernard's American fiancée with a strong appetite for love, success, and unique food. She is a flight attendant for TWA. Playfully cunning, confident, strong-willed, and not afraid to speak her mind. Politically progressive for the 60s, and is often offended when people do not share her opinion.
GABRIELLA (20s - 30s): Bernard's Italian fiancée. She is a flight attendant for Alitalia. Feisty and seductive, she is incredibly smart and much more independent than she initially appears. (Italian accent.)
GRETCHEN (20s - 30s): Bernard's German fiancée. She is a flight attendant for Lufthansa. Dominating but loving, she is full of intense passion that can switch between soft and sweet to loud and destructive in a moment. She is both intimidating and yet lovable. (German accent.)
