Last Best Small Town

PLAYWRIGHT - (30s or maybe 40s. Perhaps it's difficult to tell). This character can be an actor of any gender. But it would be best if they were a person of color. Extra points if they are Latinx. 

CHUY - (Late 60s). His full name is Jesús Gonzalez Muñatones, but everyone has always called him Chuy. He is Elliot's paternal grandfather and a plumber at a local plumbing company. 

BENNY - (Mid 40s at the start of the play). Benito Gonzalez is a son, a father, a husband, and a provider. Married to Della, he is a Southern Californian who has lived his entire life in Fillmore. He spends his days working as a mechanic at a car dealership in Valencia. He does not own a car. 

HANK - (Mid 40s at the start of the play). Hank William Miller is a veteran of the United States Marine Corps, the editor of the local paper (known as the Fillmore Gazette), and Willow's husband. He likes a green lawn. 

DELLA - (43 at the start of the play). Dolores Gonzalez is an unwavering supporter of her family. She works as a cleaning lady for the Fillmore Best Western during the week and runs her own home-maid service on the weekends to help pay the bills. 

WILLOW - (43 at the start of the play). A force to be reckoned with, Willow Miller is a college graduate who met Hank at an anti-war protest. Now she is a housewife who manages almost every aspect of Miller house with aplomb. 

ELLIOT - (18 at the start of the play). Elliot Gonzalez is the Fillmore High School valedictorian of 2005. People call him Eli (pronounced El-EE). 

MAYA - (17 at the start of the play). Maya Miller is the Fillmore High School debate team captain elect, an all-around great student.
