NOTE: From Pioneer's promotional material: “Set in the New York City music industry (with a slight nod to Othello), Find and Sign takes us through the bumpy romance between an on-the-rise young record executive and an idealistic public school teacher. One of the country’s most noted young playwrights, Wendy MacLeod has written a funny, touching and compelling romance for our time”
Seeking:
Iago:
30s. An A and R(Artists and Repertoire) guy for Freeman Records, who has worked his way up from tour manager. He is sexy, metrosexual, whip smart, capable, acerbic, can turn unexpectedly tender when he is needed. Covering up his working class background has given him a chameleon quality. He wants to become the next head of the A and R department.
Julia:
30s. A public high-school teacher in the Bronx, intelligent, appealing, quirky, flirtatious, funny, she has a strong moral center, but can be impatient and high-handed. She’s a middle-class girl from Ohio who has made a life for herself in NYC. She hears the ticking clock and wants Iago to be the one.
Andre:
40s. Iago’s boss, the head of A and R at Freeman records, Jamaican, powerful, paternal, fair, from a poor family in Jamaica, he went on to Yale, he’s acutely aware that he’s a middle-aged man in a youth-based industry. He is ready to settle down and have a family.
Mona:
30s. Julia's friend, works at Vogue, the beautiful model-y daughter of a famous British novelist. She has lived all over the world and speaks with an occasionally British-y accent. A Manhattan sophisticate, she knows the best clubs, hotels, restaurants, designers. Having always moved easily from love affair to love affair, she now feels the ticking clock on her own beauty.
Cal:
Early 30s. Iago’s co-worker, African-American. He’s a Yale graduate who got the job at Freeman Records through the Yale connection with Andre. He’s middle-class, married, and he and his wife are trying to get pregnant. He wears bow-ties and sports a slightly retro look that suggests integrity rather than slickness. Because Andre and Iago are old friends, he often feels on the outside.
Mac:
17. Julia's student, a talented hip-hop musician, appealing, African-American or mixed race, a reformed alcoholic. He comes from a respectable family in the Bronx, living with a single mother and many sisters. He speaks for his musical partner, Ming, a recent immigrant. He is very intelligent and works hard at school. He has an after-school job in a diner. He has a sweetly flirtatious relationship with Julia, his teacher.
