Breakdown
SEEKING:
JENNA
Female, 20’s, any ethnicity. A woman stuck in her life as an unhappily married waitress in a small town. Finds some happiness and expression through her meticulous baking of pies. Lives her live paycheck-to-paycheck, day by day, and wants nothing more than to get away-anywhere- and start fresh, unbeknownst to her destructive husband, Earl. Must have a fantastic pop/rock voice with great range. PRINCIPAL. ROLE HAS BEEN OFFERED AND ACCEPTED.
DAWN
Female, 20’s, any ethnicity. She youngest of the waitresses. Thick glasses, hair parted 14 centimeters to the left — eccentric is the nice way to say she’s slightly unusual, and not so slightly OCD. She sets the tables, painstakingly insuring each salt and pepper-shaker is equidistant from the napkin holder. Must have an excellent pop/rock/folk voice. PRINCIPAL.
BECKY
Female, late 40’s-50’s, any ethnicity. The oldest of the waitresses. Irreverent, irascible, been there, made it back, and somehow kept her sense of humor. Must have a soulful pop voice with a strong belt. PRINCIPAL. ROLE HAS BEEN OFFERED.
DR. POMATTER
Male, 30’s-early 40’s, any ethnicity. Handsome, somewhat clumsy, and slightly neurotic. Jenna’s gynecologist with whom an unexpected extramarital affair is born. Has a quirky sense of humor and a big heart, despite the fact that he’s contributing to the affair. PRINCIPAL. ROLE HAS BEEN OFFERED.
EARL
Male, 20’S-30’s. Caucasian. Jenna’s husband. Peaked in high school, handsome, but that face is clouded with broken dreams, drowned with cheap beer. Just enough narcissism mixed with stupidity, to be a potent Molotov cocktail that can explode into anger unexpectedly. Actors auditioning for EARL would need to come prepared with a song in the vein of Elton John or a similar contemporary singer/songwriter. PRINCIPAL.ROLE HAS BEEN OFFERED.
CAL
Male, 40’s. any ethnicity. A chef at the diner. A guy’s guy surrounded by gals. Brash, impatient, unsentimental, but somehow utterly charming. Should have a strong pop/rock voice with great comedic chops. Must have excellent comedic timing and a strong baritone voice. PRINCIPAL. ROLE HAS BEEN OFFERED.
OGIE
Male, 30’s, any ethnicity. Strange, yet oddly lovable. Becomes slightly obsessed with Dawn (in a hilarious yet endearing way) after she goes on a 5-minute date with him. Quirky, incredibly persistent, and odd, yet kind. Should have excellent comedic timing. Must have an excellent pop/rock tenor/baritenor sound. PRINCIPAL. ROLE HAS BEEN OFFERED.
JOE
Male, 60’s-70’s, any ethnicity. The owner of the diner where Jenna, Dawn, Becky, and Cal work. A seemingly old, curmudgeonly man who has a soft spot for Jenna (and her pie), but picks when that warmth allows itself to be shown. A sarcastically funny and no-nonsense guy with a keen ability to read people. Very funny. PRINCIPAL. ROLE HAS BEEN OFFERED.
