Breakdown

JEROME

SYNOPSIS: Jerome, a ghost town in the secluded Arizona backcountry, is home to Con and Doane, an aging gay couple who’ve built a quiet life far from the chaos of cities and other people—until a stranger arrives, fleeing his damaged past, and falls into their arms. Set at the height of the AIDS epidemic, John J. Caswell, Jr.’s new play is an unexpectedly funny, delicately wrought story of survival, even in the harshest of deserts.

SEEKING:
CON: CAST. 60s, gay man, war veteran, any ethnicity. Jokester, fussy, health problems.

DOANE: OFFER OUT. 60s, gay man, war veteran, African-American, Con’s partner. Stoic, charming.

BRUIN: OFFER OUT. 50s, gay man, any ethnicity. Handsome, mysterious, emotionally damaged.
