BREAKDOWN

Actively seeking 4 understudies. Please see corresponding descriptions.

TRACK A - covers HARRIET, MARGARET, JEAN, BERNADETTE.

TRACK B - covers STEPHANIE, DUSTY, CHRIS.

TRACK C - covers JEAN, BERNADETTE, HARRIET, MARGARET.

TRACK D - covers STEPHANIE, DUSTY, CHRIS.

HARRIET – She/her. Late 40s-60s. Any ethnicity. Chief of Staff. A political bulldog who has chosen every aspect of her life, appearance, and personality in service of her career. A sexless and humorless middle-aged woman who lives and dies by the polls. Starts the play at a 7 and skyrockets from there. Everything is a means to the end. CAST.

JEAN – She/her. Late 40s-60s. Any ethnicity. Press Secretary. A hawk in a turtleneck. A high-strung, quick-witted woman who can handle any pressroom and sterilize any scandal. A single working mother whose pristine life is threatened only by her knee-weakening attraction to disastrous sexual partners—one, in particular. Harriet’s more polished and more tactful counterpart. Think CJ from West Wing, but with more bite, cynicism, and learned paranoia. CAST.

STEPHANIE –She/her. 20s-30s. Any ethnicity. Presidential secretary. An obedient and diminutive millennial, terrified of failure and perpetually on the edge of nervous breakdown. Deeply brilliant, just crippled by her own imposter syndrome. So much potential energy and rage just waiting to be set free. OFFER OUT.

CHRIS – She/her. 30s-50s. Any ethnicity. A journalist. Overburdened, under-slept, postpartum, newly-divorced, on the brink of irrelevancy. A dogged reporter with much to gain and everything to lose. OFFER OUT.

BERNADETTE – She/her. Late 30s-60s. Any ethnicity. President’s sister. A total trash fire. Strife and mayhem. A coked-up tornado with raw sexual charisma, fiery temper, and fantastic sense of humor. Jean’s kryptonite. CAST.

MARGARET – She/her. Late 40s-70s. Any ethnicity. The First Lady. An impeccable combination of high fashion, corporate experience, and legal savvy. Regal, sophisticated, brimming with bitterness and pent-up rage. Goes for the jugular. CAST.

DUSTY - She/her. 20s-30s. Any ethnicity. President’s plaything. A glowing, curious, sex-positive girl with a multitude of skills and a bright future! Loves civic duty! Loves democracy! Determined to make the world better! OFFER OUT.
