an original play by Donald MacIntyre
Director: Donald MacIntyre
Synopsis: The play takes place in a club where young people go for a nice evening. The leading lady and leading man take turns explaining their dating expectations but only to be let down by dating reality. Still they keep up their optimism and keep trying. The leading lady Sheila, as she puts it seems to be coupled up with well intentioned friends and relatives choices for what they think would be her choice too only to be disappointed with them. While leading man Ron feels he can show a lady a good time but now is looking for that special lady that would enjoy what he has to offer to her. And what about the rejected dates? They too have preferences and they make efforts to find that someone for them.
3F/3M; all around 30. Each are still young enough to have fun but are starting to look for more substantial relationships. Dressed in contemporary clothing for going out on a date.
Ron: Handsome. Just at the beginning of noticing that his looks are starting to change. Still attractive to women. He is slightly emotional but reserved with it.
Sheila: Attractive. A little reserved about her emotions. She does have her preferences about who she would like to be out with and she is open-minded. But she has seen the less than pleasant side of dating and is hoping for someone more to her liking.
Veronica: Attractive. She has a strong personality and is not afraid to express her emotions. A little vain to the point of hoping to catch a man’s attention. But on her terms. She knows what she wants to see in a man.
Henrietta: Fun loving. She is very much into fashion and her looks. Somewhat free spirited but would like to be by a man’s side on a date. She feels she is all a man could want. She would like to be with a man that is real hunk of a man.
Jack: Somewhat handsome but ‘puts it on’. He feels he is God’s gift to women. He is the vainest of all the characters. However, he does so to impress a woman. However, he feels that if you're not interested in him then you’re not worth a second look. He treats them nicely though but is hoping to find the right lady that will be very interested in his charm.
Stephen: Book worm. Not overly impress with his looks but not bad looking either. He is very straight forward. He looks like he might have been a nerd in school that got laughed at. But now he is doing well and getting the last laugh. His approach is clumsy but he feels he can show a woman a good time
