Comments
Toni Braxton is cast re. ‘CHER’.
Storyline
Three college sorority sisters — Cher, a disgraced Chicago surgeon, Angela, a sharp defense attorney, and Cynthia, a sports agent, reunite after Cher's release from prison, where she served six years for the murder of her ex-husband, P.J., a crime she didn't commit. Determined to clear Cher's name and recover stolen business assets hidden by Cynthia's estranged husband Tyson, the three women, aided by Cher's street-smart cousin Sneaky D, train as amateur cat burglars, break into Tyson's home, and discover both the stolen gems and the actual murder weapon hidden in his safe. Ultimately exposing Tyson as P.J.'s killer, leading to his arrest, Cher's exoneration, and the joyful reunion of the Howard Sisters.
Roles
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Supporting | Frenchie | Male 30 - 54 Years old |
Description Frenchie is the trusted, highly skilled private investigator employed by Angela and Tony’s law firm. He tackles special cases that require his expertise in forensic accounting, and surveillance. Frenchie’s intel supports Sneaky D’s plan for Cynthia and Angela to break into Tyson’s home, circumventing a complex security system, and cracking his safe no less! A dapper gentleman prone to occasional Francophile affectations, Frenchie is not actually French - it’s just a nick-name that stuck. (No French accents please) LITTLE PERSON - ANY RACE | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Principal | Auntie Isabel | Female 50 - 67 Years old |
Description Isabel is one of Ethel’s sisters, a much-loved Aunt to Cher and Sneaky D. She’s been a cop for over thirty years, but not yet ready to retire. Isabel is deaf so she communicates with sign-language, and she is acutely capable of reading lips. She is keen to help Cher clear her name, and does not hesitate when Sneaky D recruits her to surveil Tyson’s home. ANY RACE. ONLY SUBMIT DEAF OR HARD OF HEARING ARTISTS WHO ARE PROFICIENT IN AMERICAN SIGN LANGUAGE. | ||
