Breakdown

Synopsis:
It’s 1992. Hank is struggling to keep his legendary rock club going amid changing times and changing tastes. When his beloved daughter, Lena, starts dating a rising star DJ, Hank must contend with the destructive power of the next big thing.

Seeking:

HANK
(Late 40’s/50’s): A rock club owner. A talker. A storyteller with a great sense of humor even when he’s complaining. A guy people love to be around.

BETTE
(Late 40’s-50’s): Hank’s ex-wife. About the same age as Hank, maybe a few years younger. A tough, funny broad who can go toe-to-toe with Hank and anyone, really.

LENA
(Early 20’s): Hank’s daughter, in every way. Tough, a bit cryptic, cards kept close to the chest, has an air of disinterest that makes her irresistible to men.

NASH
(20’s): A DJ. A looker. A charmer. Driven and ambitious but has a heart, not too slick.

TOBY
(20’s): Hank’s bookkeeper, booker, guy who watches the door. A sweet, friendly rock nerd.

JOEY
(30’s): The landlord’s son. First generation and anxious to stake his claim. Is constantly trying to prove himself but pretends he’s not.
