BREAKDOWN


ABOUT THE SHOW: Yanked from the edge of obscurity with a shepherd’s hook and the allure of dreams that only Tinseltown (or, in our case, Broadway) can crush, this selection of the best of the worst highlights the scraps off the cutting room floor, the discarded (and sometimes unfinished) works of The Great White Way’s most prolific writers. This series uncovers the leftover musical matter, by making the lost found again.

LOST & FOUND: The Unsung World of Frank Wildhorn is part power ballad, part rock anthem, and the kind of screlt-your-face-off cabaret that you always wished you could drag your straight boyfriend to.

LOST & FOUND began life as a digital concert series developed by director and homegrown theatre historian Bobby Traversa in association with Keane Productions as part of their innovative Backyard Bandshell initiative during the COVID-19 pandemic. Streaming out of a literal carport in Boyle Heights in Downtown Los Angeles, The Backyard Bandshell helped to create a safe and creative space for artists during a time where all conventional performance spaces had shuttered. Keane Productions is thrilled to bring one of its flagship productions to a live, in person audience for the very first time at this year’s Hollywood Fringe Festival!!! (Think 54 Below, but with sun glasses and a tan.)

DESCRIPTION

Seeking 1 male-presenting actor to play a high school student in a rehearsed reading of UNBALANCED FORCE, a new play by Nick Nappo, directed by Rachel Rubin Ladutke.
Scheduling:
There will be 2 virtual rehearsals and 1 in-person rehearsal during the week of April 28th, and a public reading on the afternoon of Saturday, May 3. The in-person rehearsal and the public reading will both take place in Nyack, New York.
Synopsis:
George Marone is a physics teacher who defies conventional methods, creating a classroom that blends chaos and learning, and earning the respect of his students. However, as pressures from administration and personal challenges threaten his job, Marone must fight not just to keep his career, but to preserve his identity as an educator. A modern adaptation of Plato's Apology, Unbalanced Force examines the battle between authenticity and institutional expectations, shedding light on the complexities of teaching in the 2020s and the emotional toll it takes on those who refuse to conform.
Casting:
Billy - a charismatic, energetic 17-year-old with a natural ability to rally people to his cause. He’s a leader who thrives on a mix of charm and rebellious energy. Despite his often reckless approach, Billy is fiercely loyal and passionate about standing up for what he believes is right—especially when it comes to supporting Marone.
There is no pay, no fee, and you must provide your own transportation. This is an opportunity to flex your creative muscles and engage with strong material in a supportive environment.

BREAKDOWN

THE LOST BOYS


SEEKING:

MICHAEL – character portrayed is male, to play 17-18. The oldest of the Emerson boys. As archetypes go, he’s our brooding teen. Conflicted. Bit of a loner. Has become the protector of the family against his alcoholic father’s abusive behavior. He carries a lot of pain inside. And has grown up quicker than he should’ve. But he doesn’t ask for sympathy. Deep down he longs to be a part of a tribe where he belongs and finds connection. He’ll find it in Star and David but it will come, unsuspectingly, at a price. Rock tenor.

STAR – character portrayed is female, to play 17-18. A teenager with a troubled past. She holds a lot of pain but is fiercely protective of showing herself. She has a biting sense of humor and sees Michael at first as a little lamb lost in the woods. She has sought refuge in David but feels regret about the state of her situation. She finds connection in an unlikely partner in Michael. They bond in their trauma. High rock belt.

EDGAR FROG – character portrayed is male, 18+ to play 14-15. Santa Carla local. Militant in devotion and dress. He and his brother Alan have seen one too many Chuck Norris movies. They hang at the local comic bookstore and have both poured themselves into fighting the main threat to Santa Carla: vampires. Since no one believes them, they have to find the perfect recruits to enlist in their “army.” They find it in a reluctant Sam. Rock tenor voice.

ALAN FROG – character portrayed is 18+ to play 14-15, can be played by any gender. Alan is an intense, combat obsessed fourteen-year-old, who - alongside their brother Edgar - has made their life mission ridding the world of bloodsucking vampires. They dress in army clothes and emulate their role model; Rambo. Rock alto voice.

LUCY – THERE IS AN OFFER OUT ON THIS ROLE. character portrayed is female, early 40s. The matriarch of the Emerson family. A former hippie whose faith in people and goodness has gotten her into trouble in the past. (read: her ex-husband) She carries a lot of guilt for the pain she’s put her kids through. Messy, kind-hearted and resilient, she’s determined to start anew and protect her family. She and Michael have their own underlying tensions as he blames her for staying too long in her marriage. He feels she didn’t protect him. Lucy finds possible male companionship in Santa Carla and starts to be seduced by the sexiest notion of all: stability. High rock belt.

SAM – THERE IS AN OFFER OUT ON THIS ROLE. character is male, 13. Michael’s younger teen brother. Back in Arizona, he developed a keen wit that acts as an effective defensive tool against bullies. Both at school and at home. He’s outgoing as opposed to Michael’s introverted personality. Pours himself into comic books as an escape. He’s a mall rat who experiences culture shock after moving to the off-beat Santa Carla. Despite his sense of humor, Sam is sensitive and waiting to break free. And he is about to learn what he’s truly made of in this strange California beach town. High rock tenor, good falsetto.

DAVID – THERE IS AN OFFER OUT ON THIS ROLE. character portrayed is male, 20s. Intense, dangerous, and charismatic leader of the Lost Boys. He can disarm with a smile. An old soul in many ways, he sees in Michael a possible partner for whom he has waited a long time. He offers safety and security to all he enlists to be a part of his family. He offers a security to Michael that Michael never had from his own father. To Star, he offers love but it comes at a price. Rock bari-tenor.

MAX – THERE IS AN OFFER OUT ON THIS ROLE. character portrayed is male, mid forties-50. The owner and founder of Videomax video stores. Lucy’s boss. He hires her on the spot after being charmed by her. They have an attraction despite their differences and backgrounds. He is the embodiment of 80s Reagan can-do conservatism and optimistic capitalism. He’s kind and charming and seems to be the answer to Lucy’s problems. A single father himself, with his own grown boys, he offers Lucy stability and, in his opinion, what every young man needs: a stable father figure. We will come to find he’s got ulterior motives and is the head vampire to the Lost Boys. Strong singer.

MARKO – THERE IS AN OFFER OUT ON THIS ROLE. character portrayed is male, 20s. Perhaps he’s the most loyal to David and considers himself to be the “favorite”. He’s not. He loves this family of his. Playful. Preferably can play an instrument in a rock band. Role requires comedy chops as well as being intimidating. Strong rock voice.

PAUL – THERE IS AN OFFER OUT ON THIS ROLE. character portrayed is male, 20s. Marko’s best friend. Earnest. A great sense of humor. Thinks he’s David’s favorite as well. Ready to defend his brothers at any cost. Preferably can play an instrument in a rock band. Role requires comedy chops as well as being intimidating. Strong rock voice.

DWAYNE – THERE IS AN OFFER OUT ON THIS ROLE. character portrayed is male, 20s. The live wire of the group. Quieter but loyal and violent. Preferably can play an instrument in a rock band. Possesses comedy chops as well as being intimidating. Strong rock voice.
