BREAKDOWN
PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS:
Please prepare a contemporary monologue or choose one of the edited monologues from 'GOOD PEOPLE at https://www.dropbox.com/sh/9bnceskb569lspp/AAA1gHfYYGHfJFOGNqNaZp3pa?dl=0 . If choosing a MARGARET, MIKE, JEAN, DOTTIE or STEVE edited monologue side, you can apply the Southie dialect. But it is not a requirement for the audition.
“GOOD PEOPLE” Casting Note from The Director: At its core, “GOOD PEOPLE” addresses the issues of class within a familiar, very American moral theological framework: fate versus free will. Attention to casting through an ethnically conscious lens is vital to creating an honest portrait of the “miserable” poor white working-class Americans encountering the world of the “comfortable” professional class.
Seeking:
No roles will be understudied.
Margie: Female, 50, White / European Descent - A woman from a blue-collar family in South Boston. Margie (pronounced with a hard ‘G’) is poorly educated and debt strapped, with a disabled kid at home. She is filled with resentment, fear, and need. She is searching for a way out of her situation when she remembers someone from her past who has made good. She attempts to reconnect with him, but he has long since left the world that she is still in.
Stevie: Male, 20-35, White / European Descent - Margie’s boss at the Dollar store, and still maintains their friendship after he fires her. He is a nice guy who is often made fun of by colleagues.
Dottie: Female, 60-69, White / European Descent - Margie’s landlady who also takes care of Margie’s child who has a disability. Dottie is patient with Margie and her constant financial woes but only to a point. Dottie is not in a position to be giving away free housing and does need to get paid at the end of the day.
Jean: Female, 50, White / European Descent - A loyal friend to Margie, there when she needs her. She has a comic edge to her and uses that humor to make tough situations feel better.
Mike: Male, 50, White / European Descent - Grew up in the same neighborhood as Margie, but has gone beyond the blue-collar lifestyle he grew up in. He is now a doctor living with his wife (Kate) who is nothing like the women of Southie. He is clinging on to his new life just waiting for the inner-Southie in him to come in and destroy what he has created for himself.
Kate: Female, 30-35, Black / African Descent - The opposite of the other characters in so many ways. She is a kind, well educated, has manners and grew up privileged. She is a college professor and although she can be pushed a little bit she will fight if you push her too hard. She is married to Mike.
