Breakdown
Danny- Actor in his 20's or early 30's who can credibly play 18. Midwestern boy who goes on the road in the 1940's. Attractive and likable, with some edge to him; great comic–sense, energy and a good ear for poetic language. Part James Dean; part John Cusack.
The Alberts- Actor in his 50's or 60's who will play a series of men named Albert — all versions of our main character's missing Dad. Great presence, grit and comic sense. An ease with the audience, and a force to be reckoned with. A storyteller at heart.
Honey- OFFER MADE AND ACCEPTED
Rich- OFFER MADE AND ACCEPTED
Mrs. Fergus- OFFER MADE AND ACCEPTED
Steven Dietz, the most-produced playwright in America who also calls Austin home, is creating this World Premiere specifically for ZACH’s first season in the Topfer. In the late ‘40s and early ‘50s, Jack Kerouac and Neal Cassady famously went “on the road.” But what about Danny Fergus and Rich Rayburn -- the young guys in the car right behind Jack and Neal, the guys whose history never ended up in books? What were these kids searching for in those “mad days” of “gone kids” trying so hard to be hip? With live jazz and exuberant theatricality, this valentine to American wanderlust chronicles our rich and elusive dreams.
