BREAKDOWN
Dick / As Cast (Male, 30s) The scrappy English road-manager of the band Stillwater. He loves his job, is meticulous with every detail and is a slave to the quirks of those around him.

Ben Fong-Torres / As Cast (Male, late 20s – early 30s) A Chinese-American rock journalist, author, and broadcaster best known for his work as writer and senior editor of Rolling Stone magazine. He is a strong boss for young William, and is very particular in delivering assignments. Seeking a versatile actor to play multiple roles. Strong rock singer.
Vic / As Cast (Male, late teens – early 20s) The world’s biggest Led Zeppelin fan. He is a bustling dynamo, full of extreme, eccentric, quirky, fan energy. He is also very servile, bowing and worshipping to all those around him who live the rock dream. Seeking a versatile actor to play multiple roles. Strong rock singer.
Darryl / As Cast (Male, early 20s) Anita’s cool but somewhat dim boyfriend. Good things make him happy. Sad things make him sad. He’s been hit in the head with a surfboard or two. Seeking a versatile actor to play multiple roles. Strong rock singer.
Estrella / As Cast (Female, late teens – early 20s) African American. A Band-Aid; a lover of music and song and the community of rock. She is a young woman who found her calling in loving music. A free spirit with a cool rock vibe. Strong rock singer. Guitar playing not essential but would be a plus.
