Description: “The Cookie Fight” is both funny and relatable to anyone who has attempted to go home again (as many of us have!) You will be laughing out loud with the colorful cast of characters: three siblings – an embattled CEO, an under-employed actor and a born-again Christian – who gather in their childhood home for Christmas and begin a fight over the financial and spiritual future of their family, their country and, yes, a cookie. As their battles escalate, the action spills over into the strangely comforting corner convenience store and its unprepared owner, Gus.
Characters:
Charlie (oldest brother), mid 40s, business man attractive – CEO of a financial services company.
Wilson (middle sibling), 40ish – Struggling, attractive actor living in Los Angeles.
Joy (youngest sibling), mid 30s – A born-again Christian and former missionary.
Lucy (Asian-American), mid 20s – Extremely smart and chic. Works for Charlie.
Stacey, 40ish – Suburban Mom, married with two kids. Wilson’s ex-girlfriend.
Gus (Pakastani-American), mid- to late 30s – Owner of the Convino- Mart convenience store. Must be able to learn to pronounce Urdu (Pakistan’s national language) and speak in accented English.
