Brief Synopsis:
When a corporation screws up - like, for instance, when the CEO is seen doing questionable things in a viral YouTube video - they bring in a crisis expert. Someone to circle the wagons. Handle the media. Control the panic. That would be Margot Euston. All she needs is for CEO Jack Carville to be completely honest. But honesty is not a part of Jack's business plan. World Premiere!
Roles: 3 men, 2 women
JACK CARVILLE - CEO of American Water Corporation. Male, 30s-40s. Charismatic, charming and a ruthless snake. One part Martin Shkreli, one part Donald Trump, but more appealing.
CHARLES PRINCE - Member of the board of directors. Male, 30s-40s. Business-minded, savvy, and conflicted.
GENERAL CHAVERA - President of a small island nation. Male, 30s-50s. Hardened, calculating dictator type, who's also a bit of an upbeat, effusive romantic. Think Hugo Chavez or Castro.
CINDY - Carville's secretary. Female, 20s. Bright, bubbly, and inexperienced. Young, but quick to learn the ways of the business world.
MARGOT EUSTON - Crisis management expert. Female, 40s. A mix of Eleanor Roosevelt, Jane Fonda, Gloria Steinem and Carly Fiorina makes her strong, dynamic, and smart, with a take no prisoners attitude. *This role has been cast.*
All roles other than Margot are available.
