Character Breakdown:
This two person show requires some very specific abilities. Please read the descriptions carefully.
Lily Harrison - presents as 60+
Lily is a formidable widow of a Baptist Minister. A self-described "tigh-arsed old biddy", Lily lives alone in St. Petersburg Beach on the gulf coast of Florida. As the title of the play describes, she is enrolled in 6 private dance lessons. Lily can already dance fairly well, she is not a beginner. Some dance ability would be an asset, and there will be a choreographer to assist.
Michael Minetti - presents as 25'ish
Michael is an acerbic gay man who has been forced by circumstances to leave his life as a chorus boy on Broadway and to take work as a dance instructor. He is bitter and a very good dancer. Some dance ability would be an asset, or the confidence to carry off lesser ability, and there will be a choreographer to assist.
