BREAKDOWN
In this brash reworking of Chekhov’s Uncle Vanya, a group of old friends, ex-lovers, estranged in-laws, and lifelong enemies gather to grapple with life’s thorniest questions—and each other. What could possibly go wrong? Incurably lustful and lonely, hapless and hopeful, these seven souls collide and stumble their way towards a new understanding that LIFE SUCKS! Or does it?
All roles open to any ethnicitiy.
The role of Dr. Aster has been precast.
Vanya - 45. A ruminator. A kvetch. A smart, sweet, passionate, insightful, wound-tight failure.
Sonia - 24. Kind, caring and quirky. Serious self-esteem issues. Not comfortable in her body.
Ella - 36. Searching, frustrated, hopeful and sad. Very attractive and rampantly desirable.
Babs - 64. Vibrant, artistic, outspoken and even enlightened. A great soul and scrappy wit.
The Professor - 62. Big mind, big ego, big vocabulary, small-ish soul. Selfish. Well-meaning.
Pickles - 40ish. An odd, sweet, loyal duck. Very literal. A relentlessly positive utopian lesbian.
