Roger's production team appears to be made up of several flamboyant homosexuals. They enter the room dressed up as an Indian chief, police officer, and sailor (amongst others), as well as a lesbian dressed in work pants and a flannel shirt. All of these are stereotypes of homosexual lifestyles (consider the Village People's "YMCA" in popular culture), a deliberate ploy on the part of the playwright to take the characters too over-the-top to be considered offensive.
