Breakdown

SUNSET BABY
by Dominique Morriseau
Director: Margarett Perry
First Rehearsal: November 11, 2014
Opening: December 3, 2014
Closing: December 21, 2014

SEEKING:

NINA
Black woman. Late 20s. Hard, quiet power, deeply guarded, and nonetheless brilliant. Has a lifetime of walls up and will fight you before letting them down. Were she an animal, she’d be a dangerous panther. A robber and drug dealer, but in another life could lead a righteous revolution.

KENYATTA
Black man. 50s . Strong, quiet power, also deeply guarded. Almost a duplicate of Nina, except he has lost the hardness and is now navigating a softer version of himself. Riddled with guilt and desperate to break through Nina’swalls…and his own. A former political prisoner and Black revolutionary. Nina’s estranged father.

DAMON
Black or Latino man, 30s. Broad, street smart, intelligent, and a drug dealer and robber. Has lost his hardness and is on the brink of retiring from the game. In another life,could be a helluva scholar.

A BODY OF WATER
by Lee Blessing
Director: Michele Minnick
First Rehearsal: January 27, 2015
Opening in Ithaca: February 18, 2015
Closing in Ithaca, March 8, 2015

SEEKING:

AVIS
Late 50-60s. Smart, elegant, delicate, educated. She has secrets. Her apparent ease belies the worry and held back anger that has been building. She could break in the wind.

MOSS
Late 50-60s. Avis’ husband, he likes to be in control. He is no longer the man he once was. He doesn’t see how he may hurt others. He has a brain injury that makes clear thinking difficult and frustrating.

WREN
Mid- 30s. She can play any role needed to get through to Moss. Smart and caring. She is imaginative and can handle anything.
