Character Descriptions
Note: one of the players (other than Casey or Skipper) needs to be a strong tenor, who will sing in a duet with one of the strong soprano Mudvillian women.
Casey Carmichael. Male, 22-35. Baritone. A good man, a great baseball player, and a rotten gambler. He owes big time for bad bets. He's engaged to Alice Fowler, the owner’s daughter.
Skipper Martin. Tenor. Male, 22-35. Team rep and Casey’s good buddy. A serious person.
Wanda May Jones. Mid-range soprano. Female, 22-30. Skipper’s girlfriend and a big flirt.
Alice Fowler. Soprano. Female, 22-30. The boss’s daughter and Casey’s betrothed. Perhaps a little spoiled, but a good woman at heart.
Devon Fowler. Baritone. Male, 50-60. Team owner. He is fair and tough, but begrudges every dime he has to spend. He’s also a little dyslexic. Colonel Sanders meets Ted Turner.
“Whiskers” McDonald. Male, 50-60. The team manager, an old geezer. “You shoulda been there when...”
Sally Carmichael. Female, 10-14. Young runaway girl who wants to be a batboy. An extremely independent type, won’t take help from anybody. Fairly complicated person for her age, and just happens to be Casey’s niece.
Joey Walker. Male, 10-14. A young boy who idolizes Casey. Head batboy. He also is the most derisive voice keeping Sally from being accepted.
“Teddy Bear” Owens. Baritenor. Male, 40-50. Bookie/gangster to whom Case owes a large sum of money. Thinks he’s anything but a Teddy Bear, but really a bit of comic character.
“Boo-Boo” MacGruder. Baritone. Male, 25-35. Teddy Bear’s muscle. Large, slow and large.
Catfish Beauregard. Male, 22-35. The pitcher. It's his real name. Mama named him that so’s he’d be a baseball player, which he is.
Phillippe Rodriguez. Male, 22-35. Short, fast, second base. A ladies’ man.
“Inyo” Carver. Male, 22-35. “In yo’ face” all the time. Got an attitude.
