Breakdown
Based on the best selling book by Albert Cullum, this avant-garde musical explores the inner thoughts and feelings of elementary school students as they navigate their way through the trials and tribulations of an ordinary day at school.

SEEKING:
THE GERANIUM
Female to play 7-8 years old. Mysterious and haunting. Something has died in her. She spends most of the musical completely silent and unresponsive but has an enormous life force inside. The other children interact with her as if she’s a geranium on the windowsill. She comes to life at the end of the musical.
KATIE
Female to play 7-8 years old. A dreamer. Fearless. She’s a real actress. Curious, emotional, instinctive and ultimately brave. Connects to the geranium and leads the class against the teacher.
AMY
Female to play 7-8 years old. Teacher’s pet. She’s quiet, studious and sweet. A perfectionist. She wears glasses. OCD. She’s always the first and the best but secretly filled with anxiety.
OLIVIA
Female to play 7-8 years old. A lot going on under the surface. Her parents are recently divorced and she’s trying to navigate through the new family setup. She spends a lot of time alone.
SARA
Female to play 7-8 years old. A tomboy. Offbeat sense of humor. She’s a mimic and a chameleon. A little standup comedian.
MATTHEW
Male to play 7-8 years old. A troublemaker. He’s restless. Too smart for his own good. A charmer. He’s always getting into trouble and always getting out of it.
BOBBY
Male to play 7-8 years old. A messy, dirty, smelly boy. Easily distracted. He has a great sense of humor, wild imagination and sometimes he poops his pants in class. Young for his age. Funny. Maybe he’s chubby or different looking.
JACOB
Male to play 7-8 years old. Sensitive, awkward and small. Delicate. He has a vivid imagination and rich fantasy life where he dreams he’s a princess from a fairy tale.
NICK
Male to play 7-8 years old. A boy’s boy. The definition of average. Struggles to find his place in the classroom.
