Seeking (all roles are available):

Ethan Goldklang:

Jewish, 60-70. Accountant. Worn, threadbare, but oddly animated, indomitable and charming. He is not in good health.

Reed van Druyten:

Caucasian, 40-55. Loan officer in a Bronx bank. He had been a very successful man; had it all and lost it all. His stilted, almost awkward way of dealing with people masks a swirl of feelings – and ultimately makes him the most sympathetic character. His face is partially paralyzed from a shooting.

Donaldo Calderon:

Half Italian, half Puerto Rican. 35-45. Bronx Borough President. Bronx native and career politician, torn between advancing his career and truly serving the members of his community. Exuberantly charming.

Jesse Cortez:

African American woman, early 50s-70. Married to Ethan. She is very tough, funny, passionate, spiritual, and somewhat naïve and vulnerable. She is in danger of losing her home because she is behind on payments, and feels ashamed to press her pastor-tenant for rent he owes her.

Chester Kimmich:

African American, 50-65. Pastor of a storefront church. Frozen in a spiritual crisis. He is a Katrina survivor. Mysterious, thoughtful and complex. Must possess great power he is unable to access.

Tom Raidenberg:

Caucasian, 40-55. CEO of the Bronx bank where Reed is a loan officer. He is a company man and a deal-maker. A good negotiator who likes good PR, he’s a salesman with a genial demeanor; works every angle. He is an optimist, and always thinking about the next deal.
