BREAKDOWN
Heidi Holland (This role has been cast)
Peter Patrone (This role has been cast)
Scoop Rosenbaum
(late 30s-late 40s)
Heidi’s sometime lover, a charismatic, Jewish journalist with irresistible charm and sex appeal; he’s an insightful, successful, well-educated overachiever who is attractive and self-centered; incredibly smart, with an ability to think on his feet and an uncanny understanding of the way the world works, he knows exactly how to make it work for him; self-confident and warm, he loves Heidi deeply but knows that she’s not the right match for him.
Susan Johnston
(late 30s-late 40s)
Heidi’s oldest friend who throws herself fully into whatever she pursues in life; we see her journey from a high school student obsessed with boys, to a feminist law student, to a Supreme Court clerk, to a member of a Montana women’s collective, to a Hollywood studio executive; intelligent, bold, direct, though not terribly introspective; she seems to change identities with the changing world
Jill/Debbie/Lisa/Hostess
(mid to late 30s)
Jill is a sheltered, repressed, yet cheerful suburban housewife and mother whose self-awareness blossoms through her participation in a women’s rap group in the early ‘70s. Debbie is an activist protesting the lack of inclusion of women artists at a museum; she is committed and carries a bullhorn. Lisa is Scoop’s wife, a children’s book illustrator “from the best Jewish family in Memphis, attractive, traditional, optimistic, and good-hearted.
Becky/Denise/Clara
(early-mid 20s)
Becky is a teenage waif at a women’s rap group in the early ‘70s; she has stumbled upon the group because she has no one else to turn to; utterly sincere, vulnerable, and trusting. Denise is a young professional woman of the ‘80s, a bright, attractive, ambitious, educated yuppie in her 20s; energetic, successful, doesn’t question herself or her world.
Chris/Mark/Waiter/Ray
(late 30s-early 40s)
One actor to play several distinctly different roles; handsome, charming. Chris Boxer is a prep-school student council president at a school dance in 1964; Mark is a nice young man who has been watching Nixon’s resignation; Ray is an anesthesiologist, kind and intelligent.
Fran/Molly/Betsy/April
(late 30s-late 40s)
Fran is a lesbian graduate student in a women’s rap group in the early ‘70s, opinionated, authoritative, and warm; Molly is a member of a Montana women’s collective; Betsy is a pregnant magazine editor; smart, sardonic, down to earth; April is the glib, well-dressed host of “Hello New York, a TV talk show, who leads the glamorous life of a media star and is able to talk about anything regardless of whether she knows anything about it.
