Characters
TINA is an ex-pro dancer. attractive. in her late 30s. She wears a 'l-sbirt, tights. leg warmers, old scuffed tap shoes, and a man's sweater tied around her shoulders.
MRS. FRASER is in her late 50s, a square-shaped no-nonsense Mid- Westerner who prides herself on her pessimism. She wears a wool coat. knit hat, and clumpy shoes, and can usually be seen gnawing on some kind of fresh fruit.
SHELLEY is in her early 30's, short. blonde, and bubbly. Her bright and outrageous clothing accentuates her ample curves. She wears grubby old white sneakers and chews gum most of the time.
MAXINE is a good-looking 40-something. She has dyed hair and good make-lip. She wears a tight red leotard over a black turtleneck. long red legwarmers and old. soft tap shoes. There are big rocks on her fingers.
DOROTHY is small, anxious and bird-like. could be anywhere from 30 to 50. She wears black shiny tap shoes. a black leotard, and has an ace support bandage around one knee. There is a hint of white cotton underpants showing under the leotard.
LYNNE is 19. She is eager to please, has a lovely face, but is of large proportions. She never wears make-up and her skin glows healthily. She wears tights, a cardigan which matches her legwarmers, and scuffed tap shoes.
ROSE is a large, black woman of Caribbean extraction. in her 40s, wear- ing all obvious wig, a bright pink dress over black tights, and white tap shoes with mismatched shoelaces. She has large strings of beads around her neck and lots of rings on her fingers.
ANDY is tall. thin, and in her mid-30s. She wears a long cardigan over a plain dress. and new tap shoes. She is inclined to stoop as if ashamed of her height.
VIVIENNE is in her mid-30s. neat and proper and perfectly groomed. She wears an expensive belted trench coat, high heels, and carries a good leather bag. Her dyed red hair and make-up are immaculate. But for all her primness, she dresses in a way that suggests the high-class tart.
GEOFFREY is tall, in his mid-40s. He is the kind of man who doesn't like being noticed, and most of the time isn't. He wears cheap tap shoes.
