Seeking:

Orgon
The central character who comes under the influence of the hypocrite Tartuffe. Must somehow be lovable in his buffoonery even though he is dangerous in his idiocy.

Elmire
Orgon's second wife who represents a reasonable attitude toward life. A trophy wife of sorts, but smart and loyal.

Damis
Orgon's son and Elmire's stepson who tries to prove Tartuffe a hypocrite and succeeds only in having himself disinherited. A hothead.

Mariane
Orgon's daughter who is in love with Valère and who is being forced to marry Tartuffe. A wide-eyed heroine who learns real life lessons. Daddy’s princess. Romantic. Hormonal.

Madame Pernelle
Orgon's mother who is totally deluded by Tartuffe. Self righteous. Steam-rolling. Battle-ax.

Valère
Mariane's suitor who is rejected by Orgon in favor of Tartuffe. Romantic. Hormonal. Self-heroicizing.

Cléante
Orgon's brother-in-law who tries to get everyone to view things with calm and reason. Self-possessed. Ironic. Charming. The Voice of Reason, long ignored.
