BREAKDOWN

Greater Boston Stage Company 2025-26 Season

FEATHERBABY

By David Templeton
Directed by Weylin Symes
1st Rehearsal: August 19, 2025
Performances: September 12-28, 2025

SEEKING

Featherbaby, CAST. (30-something; male, female or non-binary, any ethnicity) An Amazon parrot; energetic and highly physical. Featherbaby lives in a world of memory, fantasy, instinct and observation, careening wildly from one to the other. They generally like to think they are bigger and tougher than they are. Though taken from the jungle long, long ago, ocelots still give them nightmares.

Mason, (25-35; male, any ethnicity) A seasoned competitive jigsaw puzzler who dreams of becoming a lawyer, Mason is familiar with animal law but is not fond of animals. He is cautious and reserved, but confident, good-humored and sweet-natured. He once fell in love with a woman who was married, and when she drunkenly asked him at a party if he loved her, he lied and said no. He has a recurring dream that he is the only clothed person at a nudity-optional picnic, but knows he looks good in a suit.

Angie, (25-35, female, any ethnicity) A freelance crime-scene photographer and rookie jigsaw puzzler, Angie is confident, quirky and playful, skilled at many pastimes but intentionally never locked down into anything. She is highly intelligent, prone to gallows humor and bad puns, extremely curious, and consciously works at being somewhat unpredictable. In high school she was Valedictorian, a teacher’s assistant, a stoner, a born-again, a goth, a dropout, and a cheerleader – not necessarily in that order.

WHAT THE CONSTITUTION MEANS TO ME

SEEKING

Heidi, (female Identifying, mid 40s) Based on Heidi Schreck; a former debate champion who traveled the country in her teens giving speeches about the Constitution at American legion halls for prize money. Engaging, dynamic, smart, passionate, and witty. Alternates from adulthood to her 15-year-old self throughout the play.

Legionnaire/Mike, (male Identifying, mid 40s) Heidi’s friend; first appears as an assertive American Legionnaire monitoring the speech and debate, and a stickler for the rules/law. He later turns into Heidi’s ally and assistant, reflective and genuine.

Teen Debater, (female, about 15) Shows up in the show's second half to debate the Constitution with Heidi. Good debater, passionate, and articulate.
