BREAKDOWN
JULIE:
Female. 13. Behind on developing, not cutesy in any way. Has a directness about her with a caustic sense of humor. About to hit puberty, wants to be older than she looks/feels. Just old enough to confuse deep friendship with romantic attraction. On the cusp of young adulthood, forced to grow up when she faces an ugly event. Lives on the top of the hill in the poor section of town with her father.
ZANDER:
Male. 13. Awkward and earnest. A pimply, gangly geek, with a voice cracking, in the midst of puberty. Julie’s best friend and support pre and post trauma. A resident of the wealthier part of town.
DAN:
Male. Late 30’s. A widower and Julie’s father. Working class. A former stand-up comedian, now works at the water department. Keeping it together for his daughter, but barely. Not living the life he wants to be living and ill-equipped to deal with the situation that has happened.
LISA:
Female. Early 40’s. Upper class. A rich, but lovely stay at home mom. Lives down by the water in the wealthier part of town. Some might find her over privileged and snobby, but she is actually well meaning, over protective. Grieving. Betrays Dan’s trust because she feels it is her obligation to ensure the safety of her community.
CLORIS:
Female. 80’s. Plays the cello. Julie’s longtime upstairs neighbor. Wise, direct and clairvoyant. Kind, but unsentimental.
