Julia Budder, 30-50, a first-time producer of the Broadway play The Golden Egg

Peter Austin, 30-50, the nervous playwright

James Wicker, 40-60, an egotistical but insecure comic actor who passed up a chance to star in the play for a television series—which has since been cancelled

Frank Finger, 20-30, the young, egomaniacal, "genius" British director

Ira Drew, 50-70, insecure theater critic

Gus, 18-25, who checks the coats and hats but has aspirations for a Broadway career

WHY - This will be the Indianapolis premiere of the highly acclaimed and hilarious 2014 Broadway script by the brilliant Terrence McNally and a star vehicle for Nathan Lane, Matthew Broderick, Stockard Channing, Megan Mulally, Rupert Grint, Micah Stock and F. Murray Abraham as well as the season opener for one of Indy's premier arts organizations.
