Greg – 45-60.
Male. A man coming to the natural conclusion of his career and struggling to cope with the changes in his world and in himself.
Kate – 45-60.
Female. A woman coming into her own in her career and in herself; the last child gone to college, career recognition and opportunities opening up for her.
Tom, Phyllis, Leslie – any age.
Male. One actor plays all 3 roles. Tom – a “dog person” that Greg befriends in the park. Phyllis – a socialite and old school friend of Kate’s. Leslie – a marriage counsellor.
