BREAKDOWN
O'Neill National Playwrights Conference finalist, The Surrogate is a smart, funny play about what we can ask of our friends, our parents and spouses, and whether we'll get any of our important life decisions right! When Billy and Sara ask their best friends Margaret and Jen to be the guardians of their precious Tallulah (and yet - to - be - born baby Carroll), lives change and friendships are tested, and the definition of what makes a modern family is rewritten. World Premiere.
Seeking:
MARGARET
Female 40’s. A writer, teaches at a for-profit university in San Francisco. She is struggling with writer’s relationship and life block. Searching, funny, flawed
BILLY:
Male, 40’s. Margaret’s best friend and oldest friend. A serial start up guy, waiting for one to actually start up. Fatherhood has changed him, maybe not for the better. Married to Sara.
SARA:
Female, Female 30’s (CAST). A document review attorney, from privilege, wound tight, more vulnerable than she appears. Motherhood does not come completely naturally to her.
JEN:
Female 50. Margaret’s girlfriend. A nurse practitioner, the kind of woman you want on your wagon train. Down-to-earth, honest, strong
RITA:
Female, 65. A cagey sixty five. Wealthy, liberal (politically), judgy. A vineyard owner. Sara’s not very motherly mother.
CRYSTAL:
Female early 20’s. First time surrogate, smart, a survivor, goes on instinct more that she should. Doesn’t have it all figured out yet
