KATE
Kate is Susie's Bride-to-be sister. She's organized, driven, and armed with a three-ring binder that could be her emotional support animal. Kate is a powerful woman who gets things done. She just sometimes forgets to ask if the people around her are okay with what's getting done. Underneath the Christmas Bridezilla surface is a deeply loving sister who genuinely wants the best for the people around her, even when her methods are a touch manipulative. Her relationship with Susie has rough edges that the holidays quietly sand down, one honest conversation at a time. CAUCASIAN
CHASE
Chase is the best man and best friend of the groom Geoff, who, thanks to a little maternal influence, has found himself as the next potential match for Susie. Chase is steady, wry, quietly magnetic and the kind of man who catches you when you nearly crash into him but doesn't make a thing of it. He has a genuine gift for making people feel like the room got a little warmer. He doesn't push, he just stays, and that may what is required to make it past Susie's walls. OPEN ETHNICITY
BARB
Barb is the always-curious, always-scheming, always loveable mother of Susie and Kate. Barb is the engine of the Allen family's romantic chaos and although she means every bit of it with love, she sometimes crosses boundaries. She is a dedicated matchmaker who has sent enough eligible men to Susie's doorstep to fill a chapel. Barb hugs strangers, listens at doorways, and has a radar for emotional subtext that would make any therapist jealous. She is the holiday's secret architect. CAUCASIAN
WALT
Walt is the calm, collected, genial father of Susie and Kate. Walt is the warm, steady counterpoint to Barb's enthusiastic meddling. He's a man who expresses love through presence rather than words, and whose cheerful steadiness grounds the whole family. His attempt at levity may sometimes be misplaced but his love runs deep. CAUCASIAN
GEOFF
Geoff is the groom, and an easy one to love. He is possessed of an infectious warmth that makes everyone in the room feel like a long-lost friend. Geoff is the kind of person who plans a confectionary sleigh ride for his wedding party from a hotel in Switzerland because he wanted to give them a needed break. He and Chase have a years of easy friendship chemistry, and his excitement about marrying Kate vibrates the core of everyone involved with the wedding. He is uncomplicated in the best possible way. OPEN ETHNICITY
ERIC
Eric was a potential partner in Alec's life until he wasn't. He runs into Alec at an open house but manages to deliver an explanation with more honesty than Alec was expecting, and despite the rejection, he is decent about it. OPEN ETHNICITY This character identifies as gay. Preference will be given to members of the LGBTQIA+ community.
NORA
Nora is the cheerful, welcoming owner of Nora's Cake Emporium. She presents her samples with the quiet confidence of someone who has never been doubted and greets every returning local like she's been saving them a table. OPEN ETHNICITY
YOUNG ACTRESS
This YOUNG ACTRESS is in a play that Susie is costuming. When she frantically comes to Susie for a last minute dress repair, she's put at ease by the calm and confident Susie. OPEN ETHNICITY
