CASTING FOR THE ROLES OF:

ALLEN

Visually in appearance, Allen is a handsome physically fit, mixed-race male. Allen's personality is that of an extremely confused individual resulting from an inability to cope with having a White mother and a Black father. Unlike his Bobbie, Allen doesn't consider himself to be African American, but rather a White person who has been cheated out of being White... and for all intents and purposes, Allen and his sister Allison appear to be completely White despite having a biological father who is a Black-man. Nevertheless, Allen's major protestations have nothing to do with race, but rather his transvestite brother Bobbie... in Allen's mind his Bobbie's sexual gender-twist is an unspeakable embarrassment, that he has had to suffer with for most of his life. As a consequence, Allen faults his brother with his own failings... Allen's inability to keep a job, his abusive attitude toward women, his lack of ambition, his alcoholism, his bad luck... he blames it on Bobbie. Allen's extreme homophobia transcends everything with the exception of his hated for Bobbie and his perversions. Allen is an unemployed construction worker who lives with his parents.


FATHER

Visually in appearance, Father is an extremely light skinned African American man. His personality is that of a very reclusive person who tends to spend an inordinate amount of time in his upstairs room. Although he identifies with his son Bobbie in comparison to his other children, Father masks his affection for Bobbie with a facade of indifference in response to his sons desperation. While Father's attitude has been cool and aloof toward his entire family, secretly he loves and supports his son “Bobbie”. Father is a retired dentist.

+ Looking for caucasian and/or mix races (male/female, kids/adults) for speaking roles
