BREAKDOWN

EXCLUSION (The Kreeger Theater) - The second Power Play of the season is a hilarious peek into
the world of filmmaking and Hollywood. The workplace politics will immediately strike a chord.

SEEKING

All roles will be understudied.

KATIE – Female, Mid-30s, Chinese-American; Creative historical novelist. Self-righteous and
headstrong. Tries to fight for what’s right. Speaks Cantonese (well enough to deliver a monologue, but
needn’t actually be fluent).

HARRY – Male, Mid 40s-early 50s, Caucasian; Ambitious, clever, absurd, self-interested, media-
executive type who would have worn a three-piece suit back in the day, but dresses like a kid. A bit intimidating yet charismatic. 100% Los Angeles.

VIOLA – Female, Early 40s-50s, Chinese-Australian. Chic, charismatic, very gifted, veteran actress. A
leading lady. Would be winning Oscars at the point in her career if Hollywood would give her the
vehicle. Smart and deep but you might not know it from the roles she's played and the persona she
projects in order to be appealing in Hollywood.

MALCOLM – Male, Late 30s-40s, Chinese-American; Katie’s supportive boyfriend. Keeps Katie’s
realities in check even though he’s envious of her opportunities. Sees both sides of a situation but
knows where loyalty lies.
