BREAKDOWN

WORKING GIRL

SEEKING:

TESS: female (cis, transgender, or non-binary). Mid 30s. Our heroine. Staten Islander. As her story begins, she is a Wall Street secretary from Staten Island with big dreams. As her story develops, she learns how to break a lot of rules to get what he wants. She’s brave, determined, funny, cunning and full of heartfelt yearning for a better world. In the mid-eighties, she’s the voice insisting that it’s possible to build companies rather than tear them apart. Excellent pop/rock voice

CYN: female (cis, transgender, or non-binary). Mid 30s. Tess’s best friend. She is funny, loyal, tender and fierce. Comedic chops, excellent pop/rock voice.

KATHARINE: female (cis, transgender, or non-binary). Mid 30s — 40s. Tess’s evil boss. She is ultimately the source of all destruction and disappointment in the story. She claims to be Tess’s savior before stabbing her in the back. Funny and definitely chilly. Great singer.

JACK: male (cis, transgender, or non-binary). Late 30s to early 40s. Middle Eastern, North African, Southeast Asian. Tess’s love interest. He is a bit of an underdog when Tess meets him, but together they conspire on a work plan and eventually fall for each other. Comedic chops, great mover, great pop/rock singer.

MICK: male (cis, transgender, or non-binary). Mid 30s. Tess’s hard-rocking boyfriend. Excellent pop/rock tenor voice.

TRASK: male (cis, transgender, or non-binary). 60s. The sentimental capitalist. He is all business, but he is also a pussycat. He is in charge of the big corporate deal making but simultaneously a tender and delightful family man. Good singer.

JOE: male (cis, transgender, or non-binary). Mid 30s. Cyn’s husband to be. A stand-up guy from Staten Island whose dream is owning a string of pizza shops. Great pop/rock voice.
