HALFWAY THERE by Norm Foster
Director: Janet Mitchko
Contract Dates: February 24 – March 23, 2025
Four lovable ladies meet every day for coffee and a gab fest at the local diner in Stewiacke, Nova Scotia. When a young doctor comes to town and takes an interest in the youngest of the women, he must undergo a grilling by her three middle-aged wise-cracking friends. Imagine Steel Magnolias meets And Just Like That in this delightful rom-com celebrating the unshakeable bonds of female friendship.
RITA: Female 50-60. Any ethnicity. Sassy and sexy she appears to be a bit of a “vamp” aka Kim Catrall, as she rarely lets a sexual innuendo go by unnoticed. She is secretly nursing a broken heart from the loss of her son and marriage. She covers her pain and loneliness with her smart, sexy, provocative humor that keeps any new man in her life from getting too close and leaving her feeling too vulnerable again. She dances competitively for fun.
VI: Female 50-60. Any ethnicity. Quick-witted and down to earth, she is the wise-cracking ring-leader of the group never without an opinion or a witty comeback, aka Kathy Bates or Bea Arthur. She’s been living with a man for 9 years who now wants to marry her and she’s a bit flummoxed by her feelings.
MARY ELLEN: Female 50-60. Any ethnicity. The ”nice one”, she is reliable and tolerant to a fault, and often taken for granted, aka Georgia Engels in Mary Tyler Moore. She has been denying her own needs to meet her family’s for too long. Her sex life with her usually neglectful husband has been unexpectedly reignited and she is finding it equally thrilling and exhausting.
JANINE: Female mid-late 30’s. Any ethnicity. Intelligent, sassy independent, attractive and likable, she speaks her mind in true rom-com fashion. The waitress at the local coffee shop, she is the “baby” in this group of women she looks to for advice. Stuck in a relationship gone stale with a boyfriend who is working out of town, she finds herself in the dilemma of being attracted to the charming and new doctor in town who is persistently pursuing her.
SEAN: Male 42. Any ethnicity. A charming, likable, intelligent and handsome doctor. New to town, he enters the lives of these women for a month while he works in the local clinic and heals his recently broken heart from the fiancée who dumped him. A great sense of humor, wit and charm, aka Cary Grant in a classic rom-com or Tom Hanks or Blair Underwood.
