CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS
Tully – Male 27-39
Smooth-talking, self-deprecating playboy. He’s completely content with the life he’s chosen as the singer/bartender at a tropical resort, until he meets Rachel, a vacationer who upends his heart. Guitar skills are useful.
Rachel – Female 27-33
Fully committed to her job and helping the world. Willing to put in as many hours of hard work as it takes and expects everyone else to do that same. Suspicious of fools and operators, Rachel is not easily distracted from her life plan.
Tammy – Female 30-39
Loyal friend to Rachel. Sees the best in people and has a zest for life that is often squelched by her fiance, Chad. Her low self-esteem manifests itself as denial in her own life.
Brick – Male 30-39
The Island bartender. Has a big heart and a good friend to Tully. Not the brightest bulb, but sensitive and thoughtful.
Marley – Female 40-49
No-nonsense and assertive with an island accent. She runs the resort and keeps everyone in check, but clearly cares about her employees, her customers, and J.D., an older island denizen. Great singer.
J.D. – Male 60-79
A funny, endearing older man who always has a parrot on his shoulder. He’s losing his vision and his hearing, but won’t acknowledge it. A good-natured drunkard, he’s always writing his memoirs on bar napkins and, as it turns out, he’s lived a full life.

ABOUT THE SHOW
Jimmy Buffett’s Escape to Margaritaville
Book by Greg Garcia and Mike O’Malley
Music and Lyrics by Jimmy Buffett
This summer, watch our BDACT stage transform into the sunny tropics that you imagine every time the song “Margaritaville” comes on the radio. BD Veteran-Director, Rick Ramirez, will bring together the story of Caribbean bartender & singer, Tully, who is caught off-guard by career-focused Rachel. You’ll be toe-tapping and swaying along with Jimmy Buffett favorites like “Cheeseburger in Paradise” and “It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere.” Get your tickets now for this chance to visit the beach – well, to feel like you’re there, at least.
Director: Ricardo Ramirez
Producers: Jennifer Bohlig & Jill Kaufman
