BREAKDOWN

TROPHY BOYS

NOTE: All characters are played in male drag. Women, and non-binary performers are encouraged to audition. Everyone is intensely verbal and has comic timing.

SEEKING:

OWEN- CAST (mid/late 20s to play 17), a dork who doesn’t realize he’s a dork — earnest, but self-important and a little bit too passionate about everything he does. Wants to be president and the voice of his generation… at the same time.

JARED (mid/late 20s to play 18), very hot. He might be smart, he might not be. Who knows, he’s too charismatic for anyone to figure that out. He’s ostensibly a jock, but the sort of musician/poet/thinker/soft-boy jock that girls flock to. He loves his mother. Any ethnicity.

SCOTT (mid/late 20s to play 18) JARED’s right-hand man. They’re best bros and share a similar swagger, only SCOTT’s is less convincing. SCOTT wants to be JARED. He wants to be with JARED. #nohomo. But he’s failing at both and trying way too hard to cover it up. He’s prone to put a foot wrong. And everyone notices. Any ethnicity.

DAVID (mid/late 20s to play 17), generally the quietest of the boys and the quickest to shut them down/up. Somewhat of an enigma. He’s a thinker, rather than a talker. But it’s unclear whether the silence is coming from a place of introversion or arrogance. Or is he just kind of an incel? Any ethnicity.
