Cast & Crew of GLORY DAYS

1.  All parts are not set in stone. We may shift parts around if understudies become better than actors, or if our needs change.
2. Memorize pages 1-20 by Sunday, January 6 at 2PM - down to the ensemble chant

This was a difficult decision.  Accents need to be perfected - no NY or Brooklyn accents.  Listen to You Tube accent lessons.  We will have Polish accent tapes arriving after the new year.  I have Italian CD's now.
Marie and Louis need to be Italian.   Nate is Polish.  We need to ask Mr. Freeman about other nationalities.

I need pictures of steel mills and what we might build for the mill itself.  Things to attach to pylons and ladders.

1.    Billy, a  young single worker
Young, spontaneous, passionate, does not think before he speaks or acts. (18 or 19)
Hayden
2.    Nate, a STELCO worker
A hard worker who loves Rose – has several children.  He has a drinking problem and often neglects his family to strike for the union. (mid thirties) Polish
Tucker
Understudy - Reagan
3.    Rose, Nate’s wife
She cleans houses and has been both mother and father during the strike. She resents the time Nate has spent away from home. (mid thirties)
Allison
Understudy - Lindsey
4.    Marie, Louis’s girlfriend and later his wife
Self centered at first.  Good natured.  She supports Louis. She is a little bit of a flirt. (late 20’s)Italian
Savannah

5.    Alice, Reg’s wife
She is the woman behind the man.  She has already been involved in unions.  She is really the driving force behind Reg.  early thirties

8.    Frank, brother of Reg/ Striker
