BREAKDOWN
NOTE: All characters speak with a heavy Brooklyn accent. All need to have a strong sense of comedy.
EUGENE MORRIS JEROME
Actor 18+ to play 15. A normal 15-year-old boy who has recently discovered girls in a BIG way. He is obsessed with the female anatomy, which he’s never seen, and his other love of baseball. He wants to be a baseball player, but if that does not work out, he’ll settle for being a writer. He keeps a detailed journal of his family’s eccentricities. Eugene is concerned for his family, especially his overworked father, but complains about their demands on him. The play revolves around his memoirs, which are those of the young Neil Simon. Needs to have an excellent sense of comic timing. He is our narrator, personable, charming with all the difficulties of being a kid growing up in Brooklyn, New York in 1937.
STANLEY JEROME
18-21 years old – He is the older brother of Eugene. Due to financial reasons, must work a factory job, which he hates. He tries to temper Eugene’s passions while attempting to please his parents, but he struggles with feelings of being trapped. Somewhat of a hotheaded street kid wanting more than anything to be seen as an adult.
