Lenny Magrath: Eldest of the McGrath sisters. Warm-hearted, nervous and timid. She is the family caretaker. A wallflower who rarely stands up for herself. Frightened of being an old maid and frustrated by family responsibilities. She loves her sisters but is jealous of them. Funny and sweet.
Meg Magrath: The middle sister. Left Hazlehurst to pursue a career in LA and has gone nowhere fast. Sad, smart, self-absorbed and sassy, she’s been around the block a few times. Good at getting what she wants in small ways – never in the ways that matter. Her family considers her a glamorous “bad-girl”.
Babe Magrath Botrelle: The youngest of the sisters. Sweet, soft and a dreamer. Married to a state senator with a penchant for knocking her around. Lonely and emotional. Wide-eyed, a true innocent. She has an inner ability to defend herself and the ones she loves – she’ll land on her feet. Lovable and charming.
Chick Boyle: The sisters’ cousin. A matron, judgmental, obsessed with niceties and appearances. Brassy and loud. Without tact, a gossip, a very bad flirt and very funny. Particularly jealous of Meg. Sympathetic when the girls are in trouble, poison when they’re not.
Doc Porter: Attractively ‘worn’ man. Limps slightly and may feel a little older than his actual age. The strong silent type, Doc is quietly seductive. Still carries a torch for Meg.
Barnette Lloyd: A lawyer with a personal vendetta against Babe’s husband, Zackery Bottrelle. Intelligent, precise, intense, a bit eccentric. Ultra-focused bordering on fanatical. A charming dog with a bone. Falls for Babe and wants to protect her.

In Hazlehurst, Mississippi, the Magrath sisters are having a very, very bad day. Lenny, the oldest, is unmarried and facing diminished prospects; Meg, the middle sister, is back after a failed singing career on the West coast; Babe, the youngest, is out on bail after shooting her husband in the stomach. The horse gets struck by lightning, Grandaddy is in the hospital, and not one of the sisters can figure out how to have a functional love life.
In Beth Henley’s Pulitzer Prize-winning Crimes of the Heart, their troubles are both grave and hilarious. In the end the play is the story of how its characters manage to escape the past to seize the future as the sisters find “home” in themselves and each other.

Volunteers are ALWAYS welcome
Are you looking for a creative outlet for your time and talent but haven’t quite found it yet? Consider volunteering at The Lancaster Playhouse.
The theater could use help with building sets, managing props, costumes, publicity, poster distribution, ushering, greeting guests, and working at intermission. Actors and directors are volunteers too. So are board members and committee members. Opportunities almost too numerous to mention.
Volunteer a little or a lot.
