BREAKDOWN

The descriptions below are descriptions of the characters as identified in the script and in collaboration with the creative team. They are not meant to be exhaustive of who should play these roles and we seek to cast expansively and intentionally. We acknowledge the history of systemic exclusionary practices and are working to dismantle barriers to theatre-making. 

SEEKING:

No roles will be understudied.

DOUG: he/him, any race or ethnicity, 25+ to play ages eight to thirty-eight. A genuinely good person who is more perceptive about the world around him than people realize. Perhaps he is prone to accidents or perhaps he is inherently fearless. Regardless, he is an optimist. Fiercely Loyal. Impulsive. Hotheaded. Would break every bone in his body once just to know how it feels. He’s an extrovert, a daredevil, and a foolish boy trying to make it all make sense.
