CASTING:
The role of BOB MARTINDALE has already been cast.
MILLIE MARTINDALE: Female presenting, 20’s-30’s Bob's wife; plays "the ditzy wife" in public, but actually very quick-witted and observant; smart enough to maintain the act, and beautiful enough to sell it; has impeccable comic timing.
NORMA BAXTER: Female presenting, 30’s-40’s She's a driven, career woman; the knowing, efficient, classy dame. She is a secretary at the State Department who could just as easily be Secretary of State; a wise woman who's great with a wisecrack and level-headed in a bind; should play a few years older than her husband, Jim.
JIM BAXTER: Male presenting, 20’s-30’s Norma's husband; slightly younger than Norma; a prankster type, always ready with a comeback; a high school teacher with lots of energy; a little wired, good with a plan.
THEODORE SUNDERSON: Male presenting, 50-59 Boss; bombastic, loud and a bit overbearing. Great comic timing, but also needs to get serious and scary. A patriotic windbag.
KITTY SUNDERSON: Female presenting, 40’s-50’s Ted's wife; legitimately ditzy; her brain seems to work on a totally different wavelength than the rest of the world; very sweet, very genuine, just doesn't quite "get it.”
BARBARA GRANT: Female presenting, 40’s-50’s Formidable opponent; no-nonsense, beautiful, brilliant, and a little scary.
SYNOPSIS
It’s 1950, and new colors are being added to the Red Scare. Two U.S. State Department employees, Bob and Norma, have been tasked with identifying sexual deviants within their ranks. There’s just one problem: Both Bob and Norma are gay, and have married each other’s partners as a carefully constructed cover. Inspired by the true story of the earliest stirrings of the American gay rights movement, madcap classic sitcom-style laughs give way to provocative drama as two “All-American” couples are forced to stare down the closet door.
