Chacter Bio for Luke Goodall

            Luke Goodall is twenty-four years old and in his senior year at Northwest as a Music Performance Major.  He has been in show choir, tower choir, and has functioned as an accompanist for the university for five years now.  He and his friend Bobby Charmichael are like two peas in a pod—they came in to the music department together and rushed Phi Mu Alpha at the same time.  As two participants in the same men’s quartet, they tend to make their music where-ever they are, whether it’s during a practice for a performance or simply waiting in a lunch line.  Hence, they tend to burst out into song (literally) quite often.  It is a colorful life for Luke, the fourth generation in a long line of hawkeyed lawyers from Iowa, but his older brother Robert has taken up the family tradition, so as far as he’s concerned, his life is a mountain of possibilities.  He hopes to take his talent on the road with a musical theatre troupe, or perhaps even on the water by way of one of the summer cruise ships that are always looking for young performing interns fresh from the graduation gown.  Last year, he went to Italy on a show choir tour for thirty-six days, but the performances scheduled by their group’s instructor left little time for a cultural experience.  He wishes to return to Italy someday for a more relaxed view of the world.  Red-headed women fascinate Luke and despite his efforts to make a series of relationships work with his ex-girlfriends (all of which were either brunettes or blondes), he has always secretly wanted to date a red-headed girl.  His favorite meal is late night macaroni and cheese with ketchup and his favorite desert is a chocolate-strawberry micro-blast.  His favorite song is “Luck be a Lady Tonight” from the musical Guys and Dolls.
