Windfall: 3 Men, 3 Women

Or 2 Men, 4 Women

Two versions of Windfall exist. One version is written for a female boss and the other, a male boss. The plays are very similar except the dialog and some interactions with the rest of the cast have been tailored to better represent either a female or male lead.

 

Glenn Brannon (both female & male)

The conniving, overlord/owner of Brannon Data Entry. Her managerial skills and philosophies may be aggressive but they are usually correct and always effective. But her personality and maniacal quest for perfection from her “workers” just might be the root cause of the medical issues she is struggling with. And when Glenn wants the spotlight to lecture and condescend, she takes it, and there are rarely any survivors. Female, late 40s, 50s, 60s. All ethnicities.

Kate Rearden

The office manager and mother hen who dresses a little too age-inappropriately because she still fancies herself a spring chicken. Far too frequently single, Kate still manages to be enthusiastic about her life, but can’t quite figure out why life doesn’t feel quite the same way about her. Female, 40s-50s. All ethnicities.

Hannah Higley

A woman capable of very big dreams but living in a nightmare world she can’t escape from. She spends her days mindlessly entering data on a computer and her nights in a loveless marriage with a controlling husband. Although attractive, it appears she’s given up on “dressing for success” or happiness. Female, late 20s, 30s, early 40s. All ethnicities.

Galvan Kidd

A walking, talking contradiction of a man, who on one hand seeks his guidance from the Bible and on the other loses his shit when the prophecies predicted by scripture don’t quite add up to his desired Promised Land. He is ambitious, driven and laser-focused on being the best at everything and crushed when he is less than that. African American male, 30s-40s, data entry employee.

Chris Hart

If it was possible to win the lottery by doing a whole lot of nothing but wishing, Chris would have won years ago. The only things he puts any effort into are drinking with his coworkers, chasing women and bemoaning his unfulfilled life. He’s charming and friendly but sometimes his motives are less than noble. Male, late 20s, 30s or early 40s, data entry employee. All ethnicities.

Jacqueline Vanderbilt

The new data entry employee who can type 200 words per minute while dressed in couture. She is nothing like your typical data entry employee, either in name or appearance. But appearances can be deceiving for this single mother desperate to improve her station in life, any way she can. Female, late 20s, 30s, early 40s. All ethnicities.
