Breakdown

Seeking the following:

Amanda Wingfield (The Mother)
Late 40’s early 50’s. An iron butterfly. A proud woman fiercely devoted to her children. She still holds onto the ideals of her genteel southern upbringing. Girlish and grotesque. Narcissistic and loving. Sensitive and harsh. A realist while living in the reveries of a life long vanished. Charming and manipulative. A survivor.

Tom Wingfield (The Son)
30-ish in the present, 21 in the memory. Narrator of the play. A poet who works in a warehouse. Caught between responsibility to his family and following his dreams. Explosive, mercurial, lonely and caring. Deeply devoted to his sister. A suffocating dreamer.

Laura Wingfield (The Daughter)
23 Sensitive, painfully shy. A childhood illness has left her physically impaired. She retreats from reality through her collection of glass animals. Loves her mother and brother. Always puts others before herself. Seeking disabled and non-disabled actors.

Jim O’Connor (The Gentleman Caller)
23.Tom’s lone friend at the warehouse and former classmate of Laura’s. A nice guy. Pleasant in appearance and demeanor. Peaked in High School. He is the outside world.

SEEKING ACTORS OF ALL ETHNICITIES.
