BREAKDOWN
Seeking adult actors 18+ for the following:
[SAM]
18, female, any ethnicity. Smart, with a wry sense of humor and wicked sense of play. She takes herself too seriously. She is a worrier. Detached and straight-forward but it would be wise to cast against type. The actress needs to access a deep reservoir of emotion. She must transform into the star of the show. Witnessing that metamorphosis is the theatrical purpose of the evening. The part requires an infinitely inventive and exciting actress. In other words, don’t let Kelly fool you: Sam is the star. (Performer must be an extremely strong vocalist - contemporary theatre/pop belt.)
[KELLY]
18, female, any ethnicity. So alive, spontaneous, brighter than bright, cooler than cool. She is not bookish like Sam but she has intuition and a deep ability to connect with the human condition. (Performer must be an extremely strong vocalist, with exciting belt and upper register.)
[ADAM]
20, male, any ethnicity. He is kind and has great emotional intelligence - and the loyalty of a St. Bernard. (Performer must be an extremely strong vocalist/pop tenor.)
[BEV BROWN]
Female, mid 40s to early 50s, any ethnicity. Sam's mother. Incisive, involved, compassionate, but deeply opinionated. Funny. (Performer must be extremely strong vocalist/contemporary mix/belt).
