Breakdown
SEEKING:
Louise
Female, 40s-50s. African-American. The no-nonsense matriarch of the ensemble; she has her nose in everyone's business, and though sometimes misguided with her advice and actions, her intentions are mostly for good. A realist who knows what it is to be used up and left, yet somehow still glows with a few embers of life's possibilities. She is fiercely devoted to Vera.
Canewell
Male, late 30s-40s. African-American. A harmonica player. Floyd's best friend yet still feeling the sting of Floyd's betrayal before the play begins. He is edgy, cautious and has a big heart. He is fiercely devoted to Vera.
Red Carter
Male, late 30s-40s. African-American. Floyd’s friend and drummer; a simple, steady man who indulges superstitions, currently in the middle of 7 years of bad luck because of a mirror he broke. He hails from Alabama and truly enjoys a good time.
Vera
Female, 30s. African-American. A “true” woman in temperament, necessary independence, body and soul. She is still in love with Floyd while gratefully indulging the love of Canewell. She is fiercely protective of her own heart ever being broken by Floyd again.
Hedley
Male, 60s. African-American. A Hill District entrepreneur where he sells “this and that,” including sandwiches from chickens which he raises and butchers himself. He has Haitian roots, and increasingly suffers from the ravages of tuberculosis fever, which drives his vision of a past and future glory for the black man, including the realization of his dream to have a son to carry on his legacy.
Floyd Barton
Male, 30s. African-American. A blues singer and guitarist with big aspirations. He has deep flaws, yet benefits from a personal epiphany as result of his recent stay in prison. He is a deeply talented musician, passionate, hopeful, and as in love with Vera as much as he is in love with his own ambition.
Ruby
Female, 20s. African-American. Louise’s niece; young and fiercely independent; fatally attractive and in search of solutions for her already deeply troubled young life.
