Breakdown

MARSHA BLOVOTNIK AND THE MARVELOUS MAGICAL CHICKEN SOUP

by Dan Kitrosser
Rehearsals begin: 9/29/26
1st preview: 10/27/26
Open: 10/31/26
Close: 11/22/26

SEEKING:

THE CHORUS (any age/gender) is a storyteller, trying to and sometimes failing to tell the story. (Doubles as THE FATHER, a fiercely angered holocaust survivor, socialist and artist.)
MARSHA BLOVOTNIK (60s/70s) A Socialist Jewish Lesbian. Thrice divorced, she runs The People’s Theater, her father’s socialist theater company, out of her house.
JANICE BLOVOTNIK LEVY (60s/70s), MARSHA’s sister, a Jewish suburban mother. She holds her tongue, as much as she can, but that doesn’t mean she has any less to say than her sister.
JONATHAN BLOVOTNIK LEVY (30s/40s), a Jewish gay millennial. A doted on son and nephew, his obsequiousness and people pleasing has led to major panic disorder. (Doubles as GENERAL JEWISH RELATIVE, a ghost or dybbuk who brings a pot of soup)
LILITH DUBROVNIK-MENDELBAUM, formerly, LILITH DUBROVNIK-MENDELBAUM-BLOVTNIK (20s-60s), an actress, over the top, chews the scenery, but with a fierce devotion to her craft. (Doubles as ANOTHER JEWISH RELATIVE, a ghost or dybbuk, who begs everyone to stay put.)

SLAY

by Yussef El Guindi
Rehearsals begin: 1/5/27
1st preview: 2/2/27
Open: 2/6/27
Close: 2/28/27

SEEKING:

HOSSAM (he/him, Egyptian-American, 20s to 30s), a neurotic art critic. After being let go from his old job, he’s relieved his new, mysterious boss, SKIP SYKLER (definitely not a fake name) recognizes his brilliance. Very willing to lie to get out of a socially awkward situation. Doubles as KEVIN, a masked agitator who disrupts a vigil.
RACHEL (she/her, any race, Jewish, 20s to 30s), a passionate and task-oriented activist. HOSSAM’s girlfriend, and an optometrist by day. Organizes for Palestine and truly believes in the cause, sometimes at the expense of her relationships.
IBRAHIM (he/him, Sudanese-American, 20s to 50s), an Uber driver trying to make it work in the US. His brother and sister-in-law were recently killed back home in Sudan, and he is in a period of deep grief and shock. Warm, honest presence. Doubles as OLIVER, HOSSAM’s old boss. Charming, fun guy, a good boss. Gets straight to the point.
ERIN (she/her, any race, 30s to 40s), a pet therapist. Suffocatingly bureaucratic. Does not approve of the political atmosphere of Hossam and Rachel’s home and believes it may be contributing to Albert’s bad behavior. Strong comedic timing. Doubles as JEN, a waitress at a coffee shop. Hates her job and POLICE OFFICER, just doing her job. As slowly as possible. Dog lover.
ALBERT (he/him, canine, middle aged), Hossam and Rachel’s resentful and often infantilized dog. He is disgusted with his silly, stupid, millennial dog parents… if only he could resist their belly rubs… Nobody can see that he is meant for greater things. Strong comedic timing. Doubles as SKIP SKYLER, HOSSAM’s new boss. Definitely not a fake name. Charming, friendly, manipulative. Up to something.
