1959 Pink Thunderbird by James McLure
Act One: Laundry & Bourbon
directed by Sally Marsh
The Cast:
Elizabeth Caulder played by Suzanne Jones:
A strong, sensuous woman. Intelligent but underdeveloped. Would be capable of handling most men other than Roy, her husband. Therein lies the attraction. A woman devoid of self-pity. A forthright person who would call your bluff.
Hattie Dealing played by Lindsey McAuley:
A woman whose bluff needs calling. Blowsy, brassy, used to getting her own way. Mother, wife, talker. Has an adage for every occasion. Everything that has gone wrong in her life is Vernon's fault. Vernon is her husband.
Amy Lee Fullernoy played by Alexandra Fye:
Bright, sassy, spoiled. Baptist to the teeth. Given to gossip. Life revolves around the country club. An old enemy of Hattie's.
Act Two: Lone Star
directed by Neil Coates
The Cast:
Roy Caulder played by Steve Read:
Lean, tough, beginnings of a beer gut. Uneducated, belligerent, his army service has nearly given him a sense of irony. Nearly. He voted for Nixon, likes John Wayne movies, and thinks Raquel Welch is a great actress.
Ray Caulder played by Declan Lynch:
Roy's younger brother. Slope-shouldered, sloth-like, slowww. He has no idea what irony is. Wears a John Deere hat. Probably sleeps in it.
Cletis Fullernoy played by Colin Richardson:
A friend of Ray's. A wide eyed asshole. His life should have been terminated in high school. Married the first girl he dated that didn't spit on him. She married him because of his father's appliance store. He works there. Gets lost in the stock room. Has a plastic pocket pencil holder. Sleeps with it.
