character roles
LaVoine... a funny, loud but lovable widow whose husband, Morey, (God bless his soul) went to be with the Lord, after making bagels for 56 years. She loves to emcee parties, since she's a "party gal!" She now resides in "Boca" with her best friend, Louise.-

Beatrice Cramcrop... Beatrice loves to "crop"and it shows at Creative Memories National Conventions as she entertains the crowds with her funny mishaps, misunderstandings and antics.-

Aunt Phina... Like the Phaucet, not the gas station. Aunt Phina loves to share God's love for each and Everyday Woman. She may even create something for you to remember God by, with a piece of leftover aluminum foil she's saved in her Florida oranges souvenior tote bag!-

Sybil... Sybil acts out the four basic personalities of mankind. Each one takes to the stage, changing only the hat and method of note taking from the personality before her. In this outrageously funny and at times poignant 5 minutes skit, people will be able to identify the differences in all of us, and then begin to understand how to communicate more effectively with each other.
