Breakdown
LOST IN YONKERS:
Arthur Kurnitz: 13, son of Eddie.
Jay Kurnitz: 16, son of Eddie.
Grandma Kurnitz: Late 60s to Early 70s, German accent. Sees herself as a family rock of responsibility and her children as examples of arrested development. Uses her harsh and stony personality to keep her children (Bella, Eddie, Louie, and Gert)—and grandsons—in line.
Eddie: Son, 40ish, widower and loving father of Arthur (13) and Jay (16). Returns to the troubled Kurnitz family dynamic out of need and desperation, but resolute in seeking the best outcome for his sons.
Bella: Mid 30s, very loving but emotionally immature. Seemingly a bit dense in certain ways, her maternal instincts provide an unusual maturity in other ways.
Louie: Mid 30s. Independent, untouchable son. A shady operator among more dangerous gangsters he has a good heart where family is concerned and empathy for his siblings, particularly Bella.
Gert: Late 30s to mid 40s. Nervous and neurotic to the point that it affects her ability to breathe normally around her mother.
AVENUE X:
This is a Doo-Wop musical set in Brooklyn in 1962. Every actor must have exceptional a capella singing skills. At the same time there is the demand for strong investment in character. It has an ethnic theme.
Milton: African-American: 20s, Street-Wise but headstrong, with a streak of idealism.
Winston: African-American Milton's friend. West Indian, excitable, and vulnerable.
Julia: African-American. Milton's mother, 40ish, religious, strong and loving both of son and Roscoe.
Roscoe: African American. Julia's live-in boyfriend, 45-50. Powerful, clever, a talented singer, bitter at leaving his prime.
Pasquale: 20s, Italian-American. Charismatic, Intense, driven, yet vulnerable.
Chuck: Italian-American. Pasquale's friend of many years. Passionate, excitable, rash.
Ubazz: Italian-American. Their friend, a bit slow, a fabulous bass voice.
Barbara: 18-22. Pasquale's sister, very sexy and intelligent, but cynical.
