Seeking:
Samantha Stephens- Female Actor, Mid 30s. The quintessential suburban housewife and mother of the mid-1960s. She is also a witch who has agreed to give up her powers to try and live a more normal life with her mortal husband.

Darrin (S) Stephens- Male Actor, Mid 30s. The uptight, mortal husband of Samantha. Darrin is simultaneously played by two actors who dress identically. Darrin (S) is the straight man and relatively humorless.

Darrin (G) Stephens- Male Actor, Mid 30s. The uptight, mortal husband of Samantha. Darrin is simultaneously played by two actors who dress identically. Darrin (G) is a campy sort and much more fun.

Abner Kravitz- Male Actor, 30s-40s. Husband to Gladys. The dark side of the suburban husband, Abner has no sense of whimsy or joy.

Tabitha Stephens/Louise Tate- Male Actor, 30s-40s. Tabitha is the 6- or 7-year-old daughter of Darrin and Samantha. She is a fledgling witch, just beginning to show signs of her magical powers. She also lives, ecessarily, in a world of secrets. Actor doubles as Louise Tate, the somewhat glamorous and party-girl wife of Larry Tate.

Larry Tate- Male Actor, 40s-50s. Darrin's boot- licking, sychophantic boss at the advertising agency McMann & Tate.
