THE SHOW

The play depicts the lives of Kayleen and Doug over 30 years, with scenes that span different ages in their lives. The play explores the physical pain of love, and the emotional and psychological injuries the characters inflict on themselves each time they see each other.

ROLES TO BE FILLED

KAYLEEN (F) Acerbic but vulnerable, she flies to Doug's side to heal his wounds while ignoring and sometimes self inflicting wounds of her own.

DOUG (M) An accident prone and lovable goof who tempts fate with stunts like riding his bicycle off the school roof or climbing a telephone pole during a rainstorm.
