Synopsis: Middle-aged Alex Ravenna is getting married for the second time. In the early morning hours of his engagement party, Thomas Jefferson appears in Alex’s Boston townhouse. It seems Ben Franklin and Jefferson were experimenting on a time machine. Jefferson was the first test subject. The crazy result lands Thomas Jefferson in Boston during the 1976 Bicentennial, soon followed by Ben Franklin. Comic happenings and misunderstandings soon result on cultural subjects as diverse as Civil Rights, Women’s Lib, romance and politics.
Cast of Characters
Alex Ravenna - is a successful businessman in the city of Boston who owns his own Public Relations firm. Ever the PR man and practical joker, he has an engaging and endearing personality, is very easy-going—is quick to shake your hand—but with a sardonic outlook at times.
Thomas Jefferson - the American statesman and father of the Declaration of Independence is middle-aged and an impressive looking man—especially in his late 19th century costume. He is fairminded and caring about his politics and the plight of the common man. When he speaks his diction is clear and precise.
Bill McGuffin - a local businessman with a string of fast-food restaurants who is planning to enter local politics at the urging of his wife—who is the classic social climber. An uneducated man who quite often speaks without thinking, has hired Alex to help him with his campaign for city office.
Jenny Ravenna - Alex’s daughter is in her late 20s and is a single, bright, up-and-coming young attorney working out of Washington, DC. She is attractive, very outgoing and concerned about her father’s well-being.
Jimmy Hemming - a successful, young black man, is an undercover cop who moonlights as a photographer. A close friend of Jenny from their school days. He is a go-getter and sharp dresser that is very proud of his black heritage. Alex has hired him to photograph his upcoming wedding to Susan Allison.
Susan Allison - Late 40s, an attractive, successful, surgeon working at Boston General Hospital. A down-to-earth lady who is madly in love with Alex, she comes from a society background—but doesn’t show it.
Ben Franklin - in his late 50s to mid 60s, inventor, statesman, newspaper publisher and ladies man. Ben is constantly spouting platitudes (of his own creation).
Abigail Von Dienemman- Susan’s society-conscious mother/father in her/his late 60’s, 70s. Appears very posh, doesn’t care much for Alex, dresses impeccably. When in a room with Alex speaks as if he were not there.
Legs O’Kimble - a lady of the night, very attractive, sexy and common in her speech. Ever on the lookout for a customer.
