Breakdown
OBLIVION by Carly Mensch
Director: Mark Brokaw
First Rehearsal: July 26, 2013
First Preview: August 20, 2013
Opening: August 24, 2013
Closing: September 9, 2013
GENERAL NOTE: Teenage characters could be played by actual teenagers or actors in their early to mid-20’s who could realistically portray a teenager.
PAM (Female, 40’s)
Dixon’s wife, Julie’s Mom. A liberal, intellectual and goal-oriented TV Executive, outwardly open-minded and generally the paradigm of a “cool mom.” Artfully disguises a bit of a competitive, “type A” personality streak and a fair amount of inner turmoil with eager rationality and playful sarcasm.
DIXON (Male, 40’s)
Pam’s husband, Julie’s dad. The paradigm of a “cool dad.” An artfully disheveled intellectual with fading good looks, a roguish air, and a relaxed, carefree attitude that is masking deeper insecurities and fears. He has boundary issues and often says or does inappropriate things.
JULIE (Female, 16)
Pam and Dixon’s daughter. A little introverted, but also sharp, perceptive and opinionated, definitely her parents’ daughter. She possesses a pragmatic self-awareness rare in someone her age, but is also just a little lost. Physically, she carries herself like an athlete, and hasn’t come into her sexuality yet.
BERNARD (Male, 16, Asian)
Julie’s only friend. A total film geek who adores Julie and wishes he could be part of her hip Brooklyn family instead of his own Korean immigrant one. Quirky, but whip-smart and disarmingly earnest. One day he will be very cool, but in high school he’s probably struggling a bit.

NOTE: All actors must possess a finely-honed comic technique and must possess the facilities to perform some physical comedy. There will be some doubling which is yet to be determined.
SASHA SMIRNOFF (40’s-50’s)
A mild-mannered Russian man with a great deal of old-world charm and a slight accent. A waiter at the White Way Hotel, but also an actor.
GORDON MILLER (early 30’s)
A Broadway producer. A crafty and energetic man with a keen, intelligent way about him.
JOSEPH GRIBBLE (mid-40’s to early 50’s)
The excitable and put-upon manager of the White Way Hotel. A company man and habitual rule-follower. Conservative, but a little gullible.
HARRY BINION (early 30’s)
The director of Godspeed. Sluggish, sour looking man, with a biting sarcasm and a crafty energy to match Miller’s.
FAKER ENGLUND (mid-40s)
Gordon’s assistant and general right-hand man. A willing man with a youthful air and boundless energy, possessing a rough, earthy quality.
CHRISTINE MARLOWE (early to mid-20’s)
The leading lady of Godspeed. Classically pretty and desirable young actress, with a preppy, die-cut look. She is smart, motivated and enterprising.
LEO DAVIS (early 20’s)
The playwright. A naïve nice-looking young man from upstate New York with a clean-cut, honest demeanor and stars in his eyes.
HILDA MANNEY (early 20’s)
Mr. Gribble’s secretary. A sweet, simple and attractive girl.
GREGORY WAGNER (early 50’s)
Mr. Gribble’s boss. A large, officious, blustering man who relishes in being an executive.
SIMON JENKINS (early to mid-50’s)
An agent for a potential wealthy investor. A dignified, impressive-looking man.
TIMOTHY HOGARTH (30’s-50’s)
A representative of the We Never Sleep Collection Agency. A blank-looking, slow-witted, wizened little man who enjoys his work.
DR. GLASS (mid-50’s)
The hotel physician. A small wiry man with a nervous temperament.
BANK MESSENGER (20’s)
An orderly young man, all business.
SENATOR BLAKE (mid-60’s)
Mr. Wagner’s boss. A dignified, authoritative windbag with a Southern accent.
