Auditions
Terms of Endearment
adapted for the stage by Dan Gordon
Terms of Endearment is a heartfelt, funny, and deeply moving story about family, love, and the complicated bonds that shape our lives. Centered on the enduring relationship between a strong-willed mother and her independent daughter, the play follows their lives through moments of humor, heartbreak, and everything in between. As time passes and unexpected challenges arise, Terms of Endearment reminds us that even imperfect relationships can be the ones that matter most.
Character Breakdown
Aurora Greenway
Mother to Emma. Throughout the play, Aurora is seen at different moments in her life, but her character is always clear. She is at times a caring mother for Emma, but it can be initially questioned whether this comes from genuine care for her, or through a desire to keep up appearances. Aurora is capable of both love for others, and a display of empty coldness that can create distance in relationships. She is classy, elegant, and always aware of how others may perceive her.
Emma Greenway
Daughter to Aurora. Emma is the product of being raised by her mother, Aurora. She is at times everything her mother is not. She is dumpy, awkwardly dressed, and doesn’t put too much effort into her appearance, but she is also capable of great introspection. Her power as a person comes from within.
Garrett Breedlove
Flap Horton
Patsy Clark
Emma’s best friend. We see Patsy by Emma’s side throughout the play. She is a dedicated friend, intelligent, and successful.
Other Characters
Doctor Maise
Cares for Emma
Doris/Nurse
Smaller roles that can be doubled by the actress who plays Patsy
