Arnold Beckoff (M, 25-30): The protagonist of the story. A Jewish gay man, drag queen, and torch singer. Firmly entrenched in gay culture and embraces his sexuality with pride. Hides a profound loneliness underneath his incessant wit and constant complaining.

Ed Reiss (M, 35-40): Arnold’s lover. A Brooklyn school teacher caught between his authentic self and his position in society. Very handsome, charming, but annoyingly mercurial. An overthinker.

Alan (M, 18): A hustler turned aspiring model. His dreams are too big and he’s experienced more than he should have at his age. Having once been rescued by Arnold, his love for him is now unwavering.

Laurel (F, 35): Ed’s liberal partner with a history of falling for queer and/or unavailable men. She hopes that Ed will be the last one. Simultaneously mature and naive.

David (M, 15): Arnold’s adopted son. A bright, handsome boy who’s too wise for his age. Once more skeptical, now more mischievous, and always understanding of how complex adult life can be. Desperately wants Arnold and Ed to end up together.

Mrs. Beckoff (F, 60): Arnold’s widowed, conservative mother. Shares her son’s tendency to complain. Now retired and moved to Florida. Struggles to accept Arnold’s homosexuality and his plans to adopt David.
