BREAKDOWN
Geffen Playhouse 2017/2018 Season
Gil Cates Theater
A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE GYNECOLOGIC ONCOLOGY UNIT AT MEMORIAL SLOAN-KETTERING CANCER CENTER OF NEW YORK CITY by Halley Feiffer
Director: Trip Cullman
First Rehearsal August 8, performances September 5 until October 8
Karla: A charismatic woman in her late twenties whose pretty face and somewhat childlike demeanor belies an incredibly dirty mouth and mind. Will be played by Halley Feiffer.
Don: An unassuming man in his late forties. Employs a raging temper to mask the gaping wound left from his recent marital split and his mother’s illness.
Marcie: Karla’s mother. A painfully thin, pale, dyed-redhead in her fifties. Her dark humor belies not only oceans of pain, but also an abusive, selfish cruelty.
Geena: Don’s mother. A heavyset woman in her sixties who hasn’t paid attention to her personal appearance in about forty years. Brave. Tired.

Laura: female, 25-30, the epitome of the best friend, warm and caring, vibrant in her own right, but thinks of herself as more suited to friendship than romantic love. All ethnicities

Kiki: female, 25-20, a no filter girl, relishes her role as the audacious one of the group. A stellar comedic role that need the right balance of intelligence and warmth. Jewish
