BREAKDOWN

PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS:
Please prepare a 90 second contemporary monologue. Slate your name, your preferred gender pronouns, and the name of the piece your monologue comes from.

SELF TAPE INSTRUCTIONS:
Please make sure you are in a well-lit area (with a simple background if possible) where we can clearly hear you. For the slate, Start with a full-body shot and zoom in or cut to a close-up (bottom of the frame should be at the shoulders and leave a sliver of space above the head for the top frame). The audition can be in a medium wide shot, not too close but not too far.

CHARACTER BREAKDOWN:

WOLF (cis-male/male-presenting/transmasculine/masculine-of-center, ageless, of East Asian descent) is a child who believes he is a wolf, he is also a wolf, and he is also right here in the audience with us - he guides us by the hand. WOLF has ferocity, but is also deeply sensitive. Mercurial. Mischievous. Captivating. Dynamic and agile: physically, vocally, emotionally. Skill and ease with direct address. He holds tightly to his imagination, so tightly it may snap at any moment (and eventually it does). Also puppeteers the physical object who represents the child, Jeenu.

ASH (cis-female, late 20s-early 30s, any ethnicity but East Asian.) is ROBIN’s wife blindsided by a surprise adoption. She is a professional southpaw boxer deep into her training for a career-defining fight. Direct. No-nonsense. Matter-of-fact. Gutsy. Beneath a rough exterior—that she doesn’t have to work to show—beats a mighty heart capable of profound love. Her steady assurance dizzies when she suddenly finds herself at a life-changing crossroads. There is a great deal of specialized physicality/fight choreography. (Role is on offer)

RYAN (cis-male, late 20s-mid 30s, any ethnicity but East Asian.) is ROBIN’s straight younger brother and also ASH’s boxing trainer. He is physically strong, takes up a lot of space, and is highly reactive. His charm, boyishness, and inviting allure allows him to get away with things he probably shouldn’t. Eventually, his impulsive self-serving audacity gets him (and everyone) into deep shit.

ROBIN (cis-female, mid 30s-early 40s, any ethnicity but East Asian.) is a married, queer woman who reluctantly adopts a re-homed child from the internet. She hopes and believes this child is the final puzzle piece to complete her idealized family picture. Nurturing. Motherly. Diligent. Eager. Overwhelming desire to feel loved. ROBIN is willing to make great sacrifices and fight tooth-and-nail to keep her family together, often at the expense of her own well-being. (Role has been cast)

PETER (cis-male, mid 30s, any ethnicity but East Asian.) is a straight, married father who re-homes his child to a new family. He tries to do his best, even though he is unsure what “best” is. Bookish. Traditional. Shrinking. Sinking. A wet dishrag: limp unless wound up and snapped—and then it stings. He grows a backbone by the end of the story, but it’s tender and likely to crack. Has a keen sense of comedic timing, even clown. (Role is on offer)
