| Help | Contact the producer, Judy Ernst for assistance. |
| The following roles are available. | |
| Becca | 30 - 40: A mother who recently loss her 4 year old son in a car accident. Tough and uncompromising, she cannot tolerate insincerity or impracticality. A one-time Sotheby’s employee turned self-contained, order-obsessed, stay-at-home mom. Her mission: keeping everything together and in its proper place, filling up time with routine, keeping things going – none of which has done anything to help her effectively navigate the dark waters which surround her. |
| Howie | 30 - 40: Becca’s husband, a patient man who specializes in pretending everything is fine. Sensitive, straightforward husband, attentive to his wife and highly attentive to changes in her mood. He appears to be looking for something he can't quite seem to find – either in his own home, or beyond it. |
| Izzy | 25 - 30: Becca’s younger sister. Izzy is a girl who never grew up and still trying to find herself. Abrupt, brash, unsettled, and blissfully unconcerned about her disorganized life. Good heart, but almost completely self-involved. |
| Nat | 50 - 65: Becca and Izzy’s mother, vulgar opinionated, overbearing yet compassionate mother, with a knack for sticking her foot in her mouth. |
| Jason | 16 - 19: The awkward teenager boy who drove the car that accidentally killed Becca and Howie’s 4 year old son. Stunned, awkward, inarticulate, but struggling mightily with the challenge of trying to address a situation he cannot fully comprehend. |

|
| The following roles are available. | |

| Meg | Female. Character age 35-45. Living with failure and mental illness, she's terrified she'll end up like her mother, who committed suicide. Meg ran and went to Los Angeles. |
| Babe | Female. Character age 30-35. Thinks she's normal and is genuinely startled by people's reactions to her. So please don't play crazy. |
| Chick | Female. Character age 40-50's. Chick is the perfect Southern woman (Lenny thinks). Married, has children, and is socially important to the community, (at least in Chick's own mind). Chick resents the entire family for many reasons, which have little to do with the reasons she states. |
| Doc Porter | Male. Character age 40's. He compromised and learned to accept his life. Still loves Meg. |
| Barnette | Male. Character age 20's. Young and inexperienced... in every sense of the word. |

"Suspenders" premiere was a hit!
On May 23, 2008, "Suspenders" enjoyed its world premiere at the Longmont Center for the Performing Arts. After years of writing, and months of rehearsal and rewriting, the Longmont Theater Company's production of this new show met with enthusiatic audiences and sold-out shows."Suspenders" is an upbeat, heartwarming musical by Boulder County writer Nina Davis and music composer Debi Stevenson. Set in a retirement community, the show will zing its way into your heart as it reveals the lives of a group of modern senior citizens. The ensemble cast members range in age from 14 to mid 70's. "Suspenders" will touch everyone with its humor, wit, sensitivity and memorable songs.
The musical was selected in the Boulder Daily Camera as one of the "10 plays to watch for in 2008!" Just before opening, the show was profiled again, giving the "life story" of how the show came to be.
The initial production of this new musical is now complete. Contact Debi Stevenson for details on future plans.
Longmont Theater is in need of donations toward the following specific items:
- Improved house lighting. The lighting in the auditorium is pretty dark. We are adding new fixtures and upgrading the existing ones, so we can all more easily find our seats before the curtain goes up!
- Improved electrical support for our theater lighting.
- Replacement computers, for use in our ticketing service and general office. We are moving toward supporting an on-line ticketing service, so you can purchase your tickets anytime, day or night. We need to upgrade some of our computers to help with this.
- Networking equipment and support, to allow high-speed internet access to all its computers.
- An additional building, for rehearsal space, set construction, warehousing, black-box theater, etc.
If you want to make a donation toward any of these items, or just make a donation in general, visit our donations page. You can make your donation on-line, or you can send in your check.
