Leading Roles:
DICK BOWER, MD - father of the Bride, 60ish, a devoted father and
Husband; but the women in his life drive him nuts
BARBARA BOWER - mother of the Bride, 60ish, a born worrier; all
she wants is for everything to be perfect, and for no one to be hospitalized
BRIAN BOWER - brother of the Bride, early 40s, the longsuffering
peacemaker of the family; will risk anything to stop his sisters’
feud, including hospitalization
DEB BOWER - sister of the Bride, early 40s, a successful, careerdriven,
take-no-prisoners businesswoman who HAS NO SISTER
other than the bride
CAT BOWER - sister of the Bride, early 40s, a willful, mischievous,
and sometimes irrational free spirit; is strangely unrepentant at
ruining Deb’s entire life
Supporting Roles:
JENNA BOWER - the Bride, mid-late 20s, the beloved baby of the
Family, whom everyone wants to protect, and whom everyone underestimates
SCOTT SANDERS - the Groom, mid-late 20s, honest and patient; he
can tolerate any number of insane in-laws, but would prefer to skip
straight to the honeymoon
NADINE APPLEBY - wedding coordinator, 60ish, Barb’s longtime
Friend; quirky, sentimental, devoted, meddlesome…and just
a tad bit malicious
PAUL MYERS - Best Man, late 30s/early 40s, uncle of the groom; intelligent, witty, dryly sarcastic and—unlike everyone else—not
intimidated by Deb
YOUNG BRIAN - a flashback to the late 70s/early 80s, teenager
YOUNG DEB - a flashback to the late 70s/early 80s, teenager
YOUNG CAT - a flashback to the late 70s/early 80s, teenager
Opportunities with Lesser Time Commitment:

his workshop—and away from Dolores
DOLORES SANDERS - mother of the Groom, 50ish; LOVES weddings,
and thinks Jim should too
KEVIN STILLS - Deb’s erstwhile fiancé, a.k.a. pond scum; 40ish
THE MINISTER - non-speaking cameo in the Finale
