MARLEY – Female. Character age: 45-60, written as a native Islander but open to any ethnicity; The owner of the resort, Marley has put her life and soul into this place.

JD – Male. Character age: 50-65 A funny, endearing older man. He looks something of a washed-ashore pirate, but he knows his place at the resort so he doesn’t get in trouble with Marley. A good-natured drunk who’s losing his hearing and his vision. He talks a big talk about life, but no one really knows if it’s true.
ENSEMBLE – all genders, ages, and ethnicities; these people will range from islanders to tourists to wedding guests. There will be lots to do within this ensemble and many folks will still have featured dialogue and vocal lines. They are the heart and soul of the show that help keep all of the action moving!
