Breakdown
THESE PAPER BULLETS! By Rolin Jones, directed by Jackson Gay with music by Billie Joe Armstrong
Geffen dates: rehearsal begins August 11 with performance from September 8 until October 18
and Atlantic Theater Company dates: rehearsal begins November 10 with performances from November 20 until January 24, 2016
BEATRICE or BEA as we like to refer to her- mid 30’s to mid 40’s. Could go younger if she was a total badass. Speaking of which…this actress needs to be a badass. Because she’s competing for stage time with four attractive lads who sing and play instruments and she will be doing neither. A mash-up of Shakespeare’s Beatrice from Much Ado and fashion icon Mary Quant. Beatrice is smarts, quick wit, and fierce independence masking a pulpy heart. She’s the epicenter of British mod fashion but even that status can’t compete with that of her former boyfriend, Ben…lead singer of the world’s most popular band, The Quartos. Pride, ego and unassailable taste are the materials of her particular armor and it will take some cunning trickery and some aggressive self examination to open herself up to love again.

STAGE KISS by Sarah Ruhl
Directed by Bart DeLorenzo
First Rehearsal – March 8, 2016. Performs April 5 - May 16
In the Gil Cates Theater at the Geffen Playhouse
SHE: 40-55. A leading lady. Vulnerable, open, commanding on stage, but eccentric, with a sense of irony. Able to be in an old-fashioned stylized drama or act with effortless naturalness.
HE: 40-55. A leading man. Dashing, sexy, naughty, with a sense of irony, able to be in an old-fashioned stylized drama or act with effortless naturalness. A bit of a mess emotionally. The kind of man whom a mother would think "Uh-Oh" about if presented with dating her daughter.
DIRECTOR: Age could range from 30s-70s. A goofy intellectual. Takes himself seriously. But is often ridiculous.
KEVIN: 20s- 30s. Very eager, a gay man who, in the play within the play, is a terrible actor, and plays many parts. A natural comedian.
HUSBAND: 40s- 50s. A man who is able to be in a stylized Noel Coward play, or can break your heart with his emotional simplicity and light touch. A man who you could believe would be a stable pillar in a marriage. Who should be outwardly less of a romantic type, but capable of great love, and great selfless love.
ANGELA: 18 + to play teen. A saucy teenager who could also be funny as a maid in a 1930s comedy. Able to play authentic rage, but with the intrinsic underlying hopefulness and optimism of a teenager.
MILLICENT/LAURIE: Late 20s- 30s. In the first act, plays a 1930s siren socialite; in act 2 plays a cheerful no-nonsense kindergarten teacher from the midwest who has moved to New York and lives with a man who is trouble (HE.)
BIG SKY by Alexandra Gerston Vassilaros
Directed by John Rando

In the Gil Cates Theater at the Geffen Playhouse
Jen – mid to late 40s, pretty and bright, she is a dutiful and reliable wife and mother, though more tremulous and searching than ever before.
Jack – mid to late 40s, husband of Jen, he is charismatic and compelling. Works hard to hide his anxiety and fear. Yearns for approval, admiration and success.
Tessa – 17, attractive and precocious. A charmer when she wants to be. She’s feeling the oats of her emerging womanhood and yearns for her own autonomy.
Jonathan – 51, longtime college friend of Jen’s. A mensch. A loyal friend. He is homosexual but you couldn’t make that assumption without him telling you.
All roles will be understudied.
