BREAKDOWN
[STAN]
Male, Caucasian (White American of German descent), 50s to early 60s, Big boned and burly. Stan works as the local bartender, but once worked at the Olstead Factory until an injury forced him out and causes him to walk with a pronounced limp. He is kind, flirtatious and deeply empathetic, but his word is the rule of law. It would be a mistake to cross this man. He is a good listener and a critical thinker; he sees his community with a wide lens. Stan values hard work, loyalty and human decency. He strives to keep his friends and their families together as events force them apart. STAGE COMBAT EXPERIENCE IS A PLUS.
[EVAN]
Male, African American, late 40s to early 50s, a veteran parole officer. Solid build though described as “comfortably puffy”. He can more than take care of himself. Firm, direct and no-nonsense. He is committed to helping his parolees succeed through a mixture of tough love and compassion.
[JASON]
Male, Caucasian, early to late 20s, A steel worker at the Olstead Factory with deep working-class roots. The son of Tracey. He is a blue-collar dude who loves motorcycles. He was a former high school football player who is still doing physical labor that keeps him strong. A big dreamer with limited possibilities. Youthful, tough, funny and charismatic. Impulsive, exuberant and loyal to a point. In 2000, he is 21 years old and works the line at the factory. In 2008, he is 29 and on parole. Desperate to figure out where he belongs. In prison he hardens into a white supremacist, his optimism transforming into rage. STAGE COMBAT EXPERIENCE IS A PLUS.
[JESSIE]
Female, Caucasian, 40s, working class woman who has been on the floor at the Olstead's factory since she was 18 years old. She’s a former hippie who has a salt-of-the Earth dry sense of humor. She gets through the days by drinking through the nights; a sloppy drunk who’s angry and disappointment with the cards she’s been dealt. Our heart goes to her; she wanted more from life and her dreams, along with her beauty, have lost their luster.
[BRUCIE]
Male, African American, late 40s to early 50s, Chris’ father and Cynthia’s estranged husband. Handsome, but fading fast; a former textile factory worker, now a smooth-talking heroin addict. He was once a charismatic union activist and laborer but has recently succumbed to his addiction; still capable of being charming when he is sober, but unrecognizable to loved ones when using. He is desperate to regain Cynthia’s love and attention and wants someone to show him where to go next. After the company layoff, he feels lost, angry and out of control.
