About the Show:
A wildly funny, surprising, and devastating tale of survival as seen through the lens of a troubling relationship between a young girl and an older man.

Uncle Peck (Male, 40 to 60): Attractive, charming, charismatic, seemingly wholesome, and trustworthy. Has the appearance of being loving and even a bit pathetic; a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
Female Greek Chorus (Female, 35 to 60): Plays Mother, Aunt Mary, and High School Girls. Good sense of humor and movement. Ability to sing three-part harmony. A witness with distance.
Male Greek Chorus (Male, 35 to 55): Plays Grandfather, Waiter, and High School Boys. Good sense of humor. Ability to sing three-part harmony. A witness with power.
Teenage Greek Chorus (Female, 20 to 30): Plays Grandmother, High School Girls, and the voice of 11-year-old Lil Bit. Very youthful-looking, comic skills. Ability to sing three-part harmony. A witness; all too close.
