610 13th Street North
Moorhead, MN 56560Roles available:
Hoke Coleburn
Hoke is sixty years old when the play begins. He is an unemployed, uneducated African American. He has worked as a driver and delivery man previously. He is extremely patient with Daisy and tolerant of her barely disguised prejudices. He also is not afraid to speak up to her, always, however, in a quiet, respectful manner. When his dignity is at stake, he speaks up for his rights. His integrity teaches Daisy how to be a more humane person. Hoke also develops as a result of their friendship, for instance, Daisy teaches him to read. Perhaps most importantly, the financial security Hoke obtains over the twenty-five years brings him greater self-confidence and self-respect.
Boolie Werthan
Boolie is Daisy’s son. He is forty years old when the play begins. He has taken over his father’s printing company, and, over the course of the play, he develops into one of the city’s leading business figures. As the years pass, he becomes more conscious of how he will be perceived by society. Boolie takes good care of his mother, but he sometimes neglects her feelings. When her opinion disagrees with his, he generally overrides her without thinking about what she really wants or why she wants it. However, he humors his mother’s stubbornness rather than try to understand it.
Actors ages need not be exact as the characters age 25 years during the show.

A New Roof Over Our Heads
Tin Roof Theatre Company is proud to announce that all of our shows for the 2009-2010 Season will be performed on the stage of the Fargo-Moorhead Community Theatre. We believe that this collaboration between one of the oldest, most respected theatre venues in the region and the Tin Roof Theatre Company will benefit Tin Roof, FMCT, and the theatre going public. We also look forward to a long and fruitful relationship with FMCT in the years to come.
Be sure to join us this season in our new home.
