Sawdust Theatre 2024 Season
“My, What a Circus” or “Keep Your Big Hands Off My Bigfoot”
Written by Marty Brennan & Lynn Kindred
What happens when Darius Dingling, the evil and conniving owner of Dingling Brothers Three-Ring Circus, comes to town on the hunt for a big-footed critter to add to his circus attractions? Will his lust for money be abated once he captures the elusive Bigfoot, or will his desire for innocent young maidens leave the town whirling when he kidnaps sweet Abigail Goodsoul as well? Can Cyrus Morningside, the postmistress’ quiet son, rescue both Abigail and Bigfoot from the clutches of the nefarious Darius? All these questions, and more, are answered on stage at the Sawdust Theatre this summer!
CHARACTERS
Ebenezer Goodsoul : A retired lumberjack who lives with his grandchildren in a small cabin on the edge of the Oregon wilderness.
Miss Abigail Goodsoul : The sweet and well-mannered granddaughter of Ebenezer. Abigail is enamored with Cyrus, though she is too soft-spoken to talk to him on her regular visits into town.
Rufus Goodsoul : The precarious younger brother of Abigail. Rufus loves to tease his sister about her feelings for Cyrus.
Darius Dingling : The evil and conniving owner of the “famous” Dingling Brothers Three-Ring Circus. He’s on the hunt for a big-footed critter to add to his circus attractions. Darius has an unending lust for money – and sweet young things!
Dorfius Dingling : The dimwitted but sincere younger brother of Darius.
Matilda Morningside : Postmistress and mother to Cyrus. A good-heartedwidow who has a partiality for Ebenezer Goodsoul.
Cyrus Morningside : The son of Matilda, Cyrus helps out at the post office. Quick-witted but shy, Cyrus is totally infatuated with Abigail but, alas, is too tongue-tied to ever speak to her.
Jezebel Golddigger : A self-absorbed woman with an uncanny ability to attract men of means, she also possesses an uncanny ability to find herself widowed on a regular basis.
Beatrice Boilermaker : Enthusiastic but often overshadowed, Beatrice is the plain barmaid at Bill’s Place. Forever wistful and longing for love, she becomes smitten with the dim-witted Dorfius.
Bigfoot : A tall and elusive woodland creature.
