Breakdown
Synopsis: The year is 2465. American politics haven’t changed much. Except that “America” is now only a handful of New England towns and a mysterious encampment has just appeared outside its border. With canny humor and wicked intelligence, Wellesley Girl explores the terrifying dilemma of making decisions in an uncertain world.
Seeking:
Marie
45-50. Any ethnicity. Max’s wife, she has a dry, sharp wit; she is emphatically clear-thinking and honest, willing and able to push the envelope past the comfort zone in order to publically voice her beliefs.
Max
45-50. Any ethnicity. Unwilling or unable to take a position, has his own ideas but doesn’t share them; he sees both sides and can be swayed either way, he is a strong, solid person, honest, has the potential to be influential, but doesn’t like to argue.
RJ:
35-50. Male. Any ethnicity. A hard-headed a right-wing libertarian in the style of William F. Buckley or the CATA Institute.
Scott
45-50. Male. Any ethnicity. A know-it-all, an ambitious, newly-elected public official in the style of the current Tea-party.
Garth
Early 40. Female. Any ethnicity. The Town Manager/Chief Executive, she deeply believes in law and order, keeps everything very close to the chest, she believes that this world is so fragile she must keep everyone in line to avoid disaster, she is not sinister but will do what it takes, can be tender private but in public she shows no vulnerability.
Hank
Mid 30-early 40. Male. Any ethnicity. Married to Garth, a robot but not robot-like, he is smart and charming, with the slight affect of someone who is bit socially off, a sense of mystery, must have excellent comedic skills.
Donna
55-65. African-American. She represents the whole of the Supreme Court, tries to listen and be constitutional in her decisions, , there is a grandeur to her as she tries to capture the weight of her decisions but doesn’t like being this responsible, also needs excellent comedic skills
