As one of the older actors in the group, Danny often brings a sense of stability and camaraderie to the team. He’s married to Jerry and their relationship is admired by others, including Victoria, who sees in Danny’s stable personal life a contrast to her own complicated relationships. Danny enjoys light-hearted banter and is quick to defuse tense situations with humor, making him a beloved figure among the cast. While not as emotionally close to Victoria as Sebastián or Alissa, Danny is nonetheless a reliable friend who admires Victoria’s talent and dedication to her work.

Jerry (Late 30s-40s, Danny’s Husband):

Jerry, Danny’s supportive and loving husband, doesn’t work in the theater but is a constant presence during social gatherings. He’s known for his charm and kind-hearted nature, and his relationship with Danny is often seen as a grounding force in the theater group’s chaotic and artistic world. Jerry is not directly involved in the drama of the group but is always there to lend a listening ear or offer words of encouragement. His laid-back attitude and supportive role make him an important figure in creating a sense of normalcy in the often turbulent world of Victoria’s circle.

José (30s, Kate’s Boyfriend):

José is another secondary character who exists on the fringes of Victoria’s theater world. He’s Kate’s boyfriend and has little to do with the theater scene, offering an outside perspective on the intense dynamics within the troupe. He’s affable and easygoing, content to be a bystander in the artistic discussions that surround him. José serves as a reminder of the “normal” world outside the theater bubble, contrasting the intense personalities and emotional entanglements within the group.

Kate (They/Them, Wardrobe Supervisor):

Kate is the troupe’s wardrobe supervisor, known for their stylish appearance and keen eye for detail. They bring a sense of professionalism and creativity to the team, often helping to elevate the visual aspects of Victoria’s productions. Tall, fashionable, and confident, Kate is respected by everyone in the theater. Their role as the wardrobe supervisor puts them close to the actors, and they have developed a rapport with each member of the team. Kate’s calm demeanor and organized approach often balance the more chaotic moments backstage. They aren’t directly involved in the personal drama but are a trusted figure within the production team, offering quiet support and a sense of reliability.

Diana (50s, Actress):

Diana is the eldest actress in the troupe and brings a wealth of experience to the group. She’s seen it all in the world of theater and offers a seasoned perspective on the ups and downs of show business. While she can be tough and demanding when it comes to her performances, she is also nurturing toward the younger members of the cast. Diana’s relationship with Victoria is one of mutual respect—though she doesn’t always agree with Victoria’s choices, she recognizes her brilliance and believes in her work. Diana often serves as a mentor to younger actors, and her wisdom provides a steadying force within the ensemble.

Patty’s Assistant (Supporting Character, 20s-30s):

Patty’s assistant is a minor character who works behind the scenes to help manage Victoria’s career and projects. Efficient and detail-oriented, the assistant manages schedules, takes notes during meetings, and helps maintain communication between Patty and Victoria. Although they remain in the background, their role is essential in keeping things organized and ensuring that deadlines are met, even when Victoria is consumed by her personal and creative challenges.

Bob Olbermann (60s, Radio Host):

Bob is the kind, hippie-looking host of the radio show Off Broadway, where Victoria gives an interview about her latest play, The Red Pebble. His relaxed, warm style contrasts with the intensity of Victoria’s work, and he helps draw out her more personal reflections during the interview. Bob serves as a catalyst for Victoria to talk about her past in a public forum, unknowingly stirring up emotions that Victoria has tried to keep buried. His interview offers insight into Victoria’s inner world and gives the audience a glimpse of the vulnerability behind her professional facade.

Ana’s Church Friends (Supporting Characters, Various Ages):

The women from Ana’s church who appear briefly when Sofia helps Ana into the car are conservative, judgmental figures who embody the strict moral values that Victoria fled from. They serve as a reminder of the repressive environment Victoria grew up in and of the societal expectations that Ana still upholds. Their presence reinforces the contrast between Victoria’s artistic, liberated life in New York and the traditional, suffocating values of her hometown.

The Group of People at the Screaming Circle (Supporting Characters):

This group, encountered by Victoria during a late-night walk, is gathered in a primal screaming circle in a park. They represent a kind of release and catharsis that Victoria has been yearning for, offering her a symbolic moment where she can confront and express the pent-up frustrations and grief she has been holding onto. Though nameless, this group plays an important role in Victoria’s emotional journey, as joining them in their primal screams becomes a turning point in her path toward reconciling with her past.

Bartender (Female, 30s-40s):

The bartender in the restaurant/bar where Victoria is drinking serves as a minor but meaningful character. She listens to Victoria’s frustrations and offers a simple yet profound observation about death, likening it to the last unresolved issue that everyone must face. This comment subtly influences Victoria’s thought process, nudging her closer to the realization that she cannot continue avoiding the unresolved matters in her life, especially her relationship with her dying mother.
