The Chrysalis by Joe Ricci

  • DR. JOHN SICURA (65): A widower for almost two years, father to Kerrigan and Vicki. Normally easygoing 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 type A. She is the breadwinner of her family, pulling in a high 6-figure salary working a high-pressure job in finance. Can be quirky and funny. Married to Colin.
  • COLIN (33): A former investigative reporter, now a stay-at-home dad for Kerrigan’s and his twin boys. Struggles with restlessness and loneliness with Kerrigan working so much.
  • VICKI SICURA (39): John’s older daughter. An artist in every aspect of her life. Follows her muse wherever it takes her and 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 (52): Matt’s mother. This is a woman who has lots of stuff, both external and internal. Disheveled but it all works for her—never too much.
  • MATT (24): Joan’s son. Handsome, athletic, but otherwise an enigmatic blank slate.

    • SKIN (Hank)
    • EYES (Topher)

  • AMANDA (20s): Nurse. Blunt, sarcastic, and perhaps terrible at her job, or perhaps terribly awesome at her job.
  • ANNETTE (50): Joan’s sister. Pragmatic, logical, and has her stuff together.
  • NANCY (40s-50s): Hospital administrator and transplant coordinator. Hard-edged but wants people to like her. They don’t.
  • DAGNEY (20s): Matt’s ex-girlfriend (aka “WOMAN”).

The Totality of All Things by Erik Gernand

  • DEEANN (40s/50s): Female, history teacher. Judith’s teacher bestie. BIG personality.
  • MS. CARTER (Early 20s): Female, Judith’s student teacher. An odd bird.
