THE PLACE Esther's
Paradise Resort in the Catskills, New York

CHARACTERS
Marge Gelman: Abandoned at the altar, Marge is an

what would have been her honeymoon weekend.
Lois Warner: An aspiring nightclub singer, Lois lives
her life as if in a Betty Grable movie. She brings her best friend
Marge up from Brooklyn to the Catskills for Labor Day Weekend.
Del Delmonaco: An Elvis wannabe, Del is not the
brightest bulb on the tree. Del will do anything to get ahead.
Gabe Green: The clumsy, brainy and terribly shy Guy
Friday at the hotel, Gabe is on a fast track to joining his father's
orthodontia practice. Lacking the self-confidence to perform his own
music, Gabe he is secretly the songwriting genius behind the music
Del claims as his own.
Esther Simowitz: The owner of the mid-size hotel
named after her (Esther's Paradise), Esther is a survivor. Since the
death of her husband, she has single-handedly kept the hotel afloat
using crafty solutions, boundless energy, and creativity to keep
guests happy. She is fiercely independent, refusing help or support
from anyone, and she's always there with a quip or smart remark.
Harvey Feldman: The resident
“tummler”
(comedian/social director) at Esther's Paradise, Harvey is
old-school Catskills. He is all about the punch line (and the
set-up). A confirmed bachelor, Harvey spends most of his life
cracking wise and avoiding any show if genuine emotion or
vulnerability.

“House
Band”
at Ester's Paradise Resort, and also sings backup.
