*tentativeCast Description
Theobald Rhinelander: A guilt-ridden, misanthropic millionaire who loved his grandson despite the young man’s many flaws. He is cynical and disenchanted with life. (advanced in years)
Willow Goodpearson: Earnest and ethical, Willow is the nearsighted representative of The Coalition to Save Nature who is good at taking charge of things. She has clashed with Dr. Carealot from the Society to Eliminate Cancer over donors before. (Late twenties and up)
LaToya Worthy: A former Peace Corps volunteer and representative of the Feed the World’s Children Fund, LaToya is passionate spokesperson for her cause. Unfortunately for her, she is quite easily spooked. (late twenties and up)
Dr. Constance Carealot: The good doctor is attractive, well-dressed and is willing to do anything to persuade Theobald to donate his wealth to the Society to Eliminate Cancer. She has something of a superiority complex as well. (in her thirties)
Eldridge Rhinelander: Grandson of Theobald and a repugnant human being. (In his twenties)Contact information: saverfn@gmail.com or 608-729-4877
