Breakdown
SUSAN JOHNSTON:
30s. We see her from her late teens through her late 30’s. Heidi’s oldest friend who throws herself fully into whatever she pursues in life. We see her journey from a high school student obsessed with boys, to a feminist law student, to a Supreme Court clerk, to a member of a Montana women’s collective, to a Hollywood studio executive. Intelligent, bold, direct, though not terribly introspective. She seems to change identities with the changing world and current fashion but is fully committed to every identity she assumes.
JILL / DEBBIE / LISA:
30s. JILL: A sheltered, repressed, yet cheerful suburban housewife and mother whose self-awareness blossoms through her participation in a women’s rap group in the early ‘70’s. DEBBIE: An activist protesting the lack of inclusion of women artists at a museum, she is committed and carries a bullhorn. LISA: Scoop’s wife, a children’s book illustrator “from the best Jewish family in Memphis”. Attractive, traditional, optimistic and good-hearted.
BECKY / DENISE:
Early -Mid 20s. BECKY: A teenage waif at a women’s rap group in the early ‘70’s, she has stumbled upon the group because she has no one else to turn to. Utterly sincere, vulnerable and trusting. DENISE: A young professional woman of the ‘80’s. Bright, attractive, ambitious, educated yuppie in her 20’s. Energetic, successful, doesn’t question herself or her world.
CHRIS BOXER / MARK / T.V. TECHNICIAN / WAITER / RAY:
20s. One actor to play five distinctly different roles. Should be good looking. CHRIS BOXER is a prep school student council president at a school dance in 1964. MARK is a nice young man who has been watching Nixon’s resignation. RAY is an anesthesiologist, kind and intelligent.
The following roles have been CAST. Seeking possible replacements and possible understudies.
HEIDI HOLLAND:
ROLE IS CAST. 30s. We see her from her late teens to her late 30’s. An art historian and writer, highly articulate, intelligent, thoughtful. We see her journey over almost 25 years from a high school student to an accomplished writer and new mother. Throughout this time, Heidi maintains her values, ideals, and loyalties while many of her friends adjust theirs to fit the social and political climate of the times. She is a serious and good person with an ironic sense of humor, who struggles to understand her place and identity in a changing world. ROLE IS CAST
SCOOP ROSENBAUM:
ROLE IS CAST. 30s. We see him from his early 20s through his late 30s. Heidi’s sometime lover, a charismatic, Jewish journalist with irresistible charm and sex appeal. He’s an insightful, successful, well-educated overachiever who is attractive and self-centered. Incredibly smart, with an ability to think on his feet and an uncanny understanding of the way the world works, he knows exactly how to make it work for him. Self-confident and warm, he loves Heidi deeply but knows that she’s not the right match for him. ROLE IS CAST
PETER PATRONE:
ROLE IS CAST. 30s. We see him from his late teens through his late 30’s. Heidi’s best friend. A fiercely clever and literate pediatrician. He is by turns both sensitive and cynical. Charming and witty, he and Heidi meet at a high school dance and forge a friendship which will last for years. Thoughtful, articulate, warm, charming, with a real depth of feeling. ROLE IS CAST
FRAN/MOLLY/BETSY/APRIL:
ROLE IS CAST. 30s. FRAN: A lesbian graduate student in a women’s rap group in the early ‘70’s. Opinionated, authoritative and warm. MOLLY: A member of a Montana Women’s Collective. BETSY: A pregnant magazine editor; smart, sardonic, down to earth. APRIL: Glib, well-dressed host of “Hello New York”, a T.V. talk show. Leads the glamorous life of a media star. Able to talk about anything regardless of whether she knows anything about it. ROLE IS CAST
