Jolly Wally by Chris Widney/Characters
WALLY: A young walrus in his prime.
MOLLY: A skeptical female walrus, also in her prime.
DOT: A perky trainer and performer, dressed vaguely, like Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz.
The Ballad of Love Canal by Joyce Carol Oates/Characters
BAMA: in her forties, but girlish; slightly plump; hair hidden by a kerchief (may be in rollers); in housedress
MEDRICK: in his forties, burley, muscular; may have tattoo on forearm; wears thick-lensed glasses; non-descript sports - or work-clothes
DUGAN: eighteen; husky, blemished skin; wears clothes, or a costume, suggesting youthful rebellion/small town chic (ripped jeans, black leather, heavy metal gear, skinhead haircut)
GIP: mid or late forties; may resemble MEDRICK; may have a tattoo; wearing a visored cap, inconspicuous but definitely “sporty” inexpensive clothes.
Each of the NOONANS has a mannerism (nervous tick, twitch, gesture, stammer, habit of scratching, etc.) which should be subtly modulated through the play; never allowed to become mechanical, predictable, or obtrusive. After the first several minutes, the speech difficulty should be only suggested in the way that a stammerer has learned to accommodate his or her stammer.
