Breakdown

CURRENTLY SEEKING:

OFFICER KRUPKE:
Male, (30 - 50s) The local beat cop, sees nothing wrong in using the nightstick to make his point. He has no patience for the gangs conflict and uses his job as an opportunity to work out his own anger.

DOC:
Male, (50s +) The owner of the candy store where the Jets hang out. He tries to guide the Jets youthful angst and provides a safe haven for Tony. Old fashioned and wise in his ways. Excellent actor who can convey enormous warmth and strength.

LT. SHRANK:
Male, (40 - 50s) A local police detective charged with managing the ongoing violence between the Jets and Sharks. Blunt, brash, and unapologetic. The strongest voice of authority, but cannot be trusted to use that power well. Cynical and capable of unexpected volatility.

GLAD HAND:
Male, (30 - 50s) Comic actor. Must be able to make broad choices and possess excellent comic timing. Overly optimistic and ill-equipped social worker trying to inspire harmony between the gangs at the school dance (“Mambo”). Speaking role. No dance background.
