STAGGER LEE dir. Patricia McGregor (Wyly Theatre)
Rehearsals December 22- January 30
Performances January 21- February 15
DELILAH LYONS- Mid 20s to early 30s, Delilah is the loving wife of Billy Lyons and sister to Johnny. She keeps hope in her heart, but sometimes falls into despair when things aren’t going well. Delilah protects her children with a fierceness, and loves them with a motherly tenderness that can’t be equaled.
BILLY LYONS- Mid 20s to early 30s. As the head of the family, Billy takes his role as breadwinner seriously. He holds family, community and loyalty in high regard. Billy truly believes that nothing will stop him and his family from attaining equality, freedom, and the American Dream. In desperate times, Billy stays hopeful, even when such optimism becomes forced.
JOHNNY-Delilah’s younger brother. Johnny is known as the weakling of the community, the “lunch money kid.” With his recent move to the North from Mississippi, Johnny is determined to remake his image, to shake off who he was and become what he wants to be-but at what cost? (Mid to late 20s).
FRANKIE-Bright and sassy, Frankie works hard to remove any traces of the past, though at heart she remains a bona fide southern girl. Still, she is determined to find successful in the North, and vows never to return home. Frankie is a trusted friend to Delilah, and the girlfriend of Jonny. (Late 20s)
STAGGER LEE-The baddest, meanest, largest man that ever walked the earth. Stagger Lee is a menace to many, a terror to most, and oddly enough, a longtime best friend of Billy. As mean as Stagger Lee is, he grows even meaner if he feels that someone has messed with Billy or Billy’s family.
LONG LOST JOHN- The visual narrator of the play. John doesn’t speak, but through his movements and the various styles of dancing and running that he exhibits within the play, John is the de facto guide of the story, theatrically shifting us through time and place.
THE ENSEMBLE- Compromised of various ages and character types, the ensemble forms the bedrock of the play. Individually, members of the Ensemble come forth throughout the story to play a variety of roles such as NELLIE BLY, the BLUES SINGER, and the ILLINOIS LINE TRAIN CONDUCTOR. Collectively, The Ensemble creates the various communities that interact with the principles.
