BREAKDOWN
Watch as a group of liberal artists walk the fine line of political correctness in this fresh, satirical comedy. Armed with progressive lingo and questionably good intentions, they attempt to devise a culturally sensitive Thanksgiving play for local elementary schools. Slowly but surely, the well-meaning plans dissolve into an outrageous sendup of PC behavior. The Thanksgiving Play treads the minefields of appropriation to inject some laughter into activism, apathy and all the assumptions in between.
All ages are open. The play is a comedy and the playing style is in the realm of Parks & Rec. While the play is a satire, the characters aren’t satirized. The comedy comes from the combination of their earnest intents and blind spots.
SEEKING:
LOGAN (Female, open age) Caucasian looking, the high school drama teacher that's always pushing the envelope in potentially inappropriate ways. Earnest about theater and proving herself.
JAXTON (Male, open age) Caucasian looking, yoga practitioner/actor. Politically correct to a fault, a big one. He's that confident guy everyone loves, but his logical PC thinking takes weird turns.
ALICIA (Female, open age) Brunette Caucasian looking but has looks that would have been cast as ethnic in 1950's movies. Without guile. Sexy and hot, but not bright.
CADEN: (Male, open age) Caucasian looking, the academic. Awkward elementary school history teacher with dramatic aspirations but no experience.
