CHARACTERS  &  BACKGROUNDS COSTUMES  &  PROPS

Note: Main characters are blue, doubled are yellow.
Young character ages are given in ( ), others are adults.


The TAVERNKEEPER

A jovial sort who lets the world slide off his shoulders.
He knows his wife can be a pain but knows she really has a good heart.

The TAVERNKEEPER'S WIFE
The Tavernkeepers wife and resident screeching harpy.
She knows she's a pain and doesn't let anyone forget it and tries hard, with great success, to not let any patrons know she has a good heart except for Lily's friends.

BRUCE
A fisherman in the tavern. Works on a fishing boat, smells like a fish, drinks like a fish, tired of eating fish. Likes the tavern because he can sit next to the fireplace so he's not cold like a fish and where he can forget about having to go home just yet to his cold fishy wife whos tired of her husband always spending time at the tavern.

PALMER
A fisherman in tavern.
See Bruce above.

WILLIS (18)
A fisherman in the tavern. The newest member of the ships crew, not yet married, can stay out all night if he wants.
Not yet inducted into all the nuances of being a fisherman, ie: all the old jokes are new to him and the others spare no expense at his expense. He's also going to learn how to play "Pickle".

STORYTELLER
No real pronounceable name to worry about. He's spent too many years on the road, not quite sane but enjoys not having to pay taxes because he always leaves town before the IRS can find out what his mailing address is.

LILY (17)
Daughter of the Tavernkeepers in the Storyteller's story.
A bit silly, not as scatter-brained as she first appears, somewhat self centered at first. Just a typical teenager but without the benefits (curse?) of electronic technology.

Winkie/WILLIAM (9/18) [actor plays both parts]
The poor boy-hero in the Storyteller's story. Lives somewhere in the forest. Looks like he was raised by squirrels. He wants to be a cook someday just to know what hot food tastes like.
He fell in love with Lily at first sight probably because she's not covered in hair. At least she doesn't have fleas, he's not sure about her friends though.

CADUCIAS BLAESHUE (21+)
The Baron's evil son and bad guy that lust's after Lily in the Storyteller's story. Typical spoiled rich brat who can afford to ignore the law and basic manners. Hopefully there will be enough air to go around when he kicks it so everybody can cheer really loud.

DIBBLES (Possibly double for FGHm #1)
Caducias' evil temp agency henchman and ambushing bunny rabbit. Caducias' regular henchmen were out sick so the particularly evil temp agency (PETA) sent him and Ritz for the week. Extremely incompetent, he can't get a real job and doesn't work well with others, but the plus side is, his body is warm and he can stand still for long periods of time.

RITZ (Possibly double for FGHm #2)
Caducias' other evil temp agency henchman and ambushing bunny rabbit. Dibble's twin brother, see above.

SARAH (13)
Friend of Lily's. Wants to be like Lily but with the help of Bethany...
Truly innocent at heart, sweet & charming, a royal pain in the ass. She can get away with murder and knows it.

WILLOW (14)
Friend of Lily's.
Used to be like Sarah, now catching up to Bethany.

BETHANY (15) [Can double as customer wife]
Friend of Lily's. Probably more mature than Lily and the others, probably the most sane of everybody.

SQUIRE TIM (17) [Can double as customer husband]
Friend of Winkie. On the "not insane" scale, probably # 3 behind Bethany & the Tavernkeeper. He wants to be a warrior someday and worships the bravery of Winkie.
He's actually the bravest of all
he just doesn't realize it.
He'll probably marry Bethany in the sequel.

YOUNG WINKIE [WILLIAM] (same actor plays both parts)
Words cannot express how much of an idiot he is, oh wait, his Fairy Godmother said "nut job", yeah, that works.

PHOEBE (12)
Young Winkie's slightly older sister.
She doesn't even rate a Fairy Godmother. Enough said...

Tresamai, THE FAIRY GODMOTHER (past her prime...)
Winkie's Fairy Godmother.
Description: 3rd rate, engine needs work, needs tranny, needs paint, had new bling installed but wired wrong, rims are still good, has major rust, failed inspection, speakers blown, can sell for parts or will trade for food. Call after 6pm.

Fairy Godmother Henchman # 1
Herald & left armpit support.

Fairy Godmother Henchman # 2
Herald & right armpit support.

ROBERT [customer/husband]
It was the wrong night to go out, it was the wrong place to go in. He spent way too much time arguing with his wife about where to eat so all the good places closed at a decent hour and like moths to a flame, they went towards the only light they could see.

ROSEMARY [customer/wife]
All she wanted was to go to the well lit expensive restaurant just up the street but no! Her husband wanted to save money. It didn't matter that it was their anniversary.

Mrs. ELIZABETH FLUKES [customer/mother-in-law]
Don't bother to argue, you can't win with this one. What's good enough for her? Rather ask, what isn't.

Note: of course your welcome to add whatever set dressings and whatnot (like a stand with bags of salted fish nuts for sale). This list consists of things from the script and is meant as a reference aid to production.
