BREAKDOWN
GERRY BRINSLER: Male. 50s. Caucasian. Gerry has a permanent scowl on his face and is often hungover. He is a man who has lived a wild and deliberately carefree lifestyle. He is irritable, opinionated, and set in his ways. The only thing that softens him is the one true love of his life: Musical Theatre. He is the manager of a call center at a local theatre.
MR. BUGZ: Male. Late 40s. Black. Mr. Bugz is a Hip Hop legend known for being one of the greatest DJ’s of all time. His outward persona is defined by the culture he was raised and works in, but he’s hiding a deep personal truth that threatens to ruin his reputation and career. He is cool-headed, considerate, and a little sad. He has a seriously impressive sneaker collection.
NANCY REINSTEIN: Female. 20s. Caucasian. Despite being a Jewish girl from Scarsdale, Nancy has deeply immersed herself in Hip Hop culture in a way that is hilarious but still reverent. She over zealously hits a work goal to win the chance to meet Lamont, one of her favorite rappers of all time. She is brutally honest with a charming swagger about her. She is currently writing and starring in a Hamilton-esque musical that chronicles the life of Amelia Earhart and it’s actually pretty good.
