Breakdown
MARTIN GELDHART
Male, Jewish, late 20s to 30s: The eldest son. Soulful, sensitive, a bit fragile. Lives upstate and is a professor of landscape architecture at Vassar. He is the most willing of the siblings to subsume his ego for the greater cause of family harmony.
AARON GELDHART
Male, Jewish, mid/late 20s: The middle child. The only Geldhart child to go into the family business, Aaron is desperate to save the publishing house from financial ruin and bring it into the modern era. Buttoned up and unsentimental, Aaron may appear cold and distant because he is harboring painful secrets of his own, and has been deeply wounded by his father's scorn.
SARAH GELDHART
Female, Jewish, mid/late 20s: The baby of the family. Lives in LA and is an actress. Underneath her West Coast vibe, Sarah has both a keen intelligence and a neurotic insecurity. She desperately wants to resolve her family's issues, but is trapped by a reluctance to do the painful work required to achieve harmony and closeness with her siblings and father.
The following roles have been CAST. Actors auditioning may be considered for possible replacements if needed:
ISAAC GELDHART
Male, Jewish, 60s: Patriarch and intellectual; Isaac is a Holocaust survivor and the cofounder of a prestigious small publishing house whose finances are in peril due to his unwavering loyalty to his noncommercial authors. Vicious and vulnerable, witty and wounded, ice cold with a red hot temper, Isaac is a deeply complex character. In act two we find a disturbingly diminished Isaac -- betrayed by his children, and possibly suffering from dementia. ROLE IS CAST
MARGE HACKETT
Female, any ethnicity, 50s: A social worker from a well-to-do background. Kind, patient, and deeply intelligent. Marge also has a hidden agenda from a former time in her life when she was the wife of a prominent politician, who killed himself in disgrace. ROLE IS CAST
