Character Breakdown

​​​​

Michael Dorsey/Dorothy Michaels
Michael is an actor’s actor. A focused perfectionist, outspoken, stubborn, abrasive and
frustrated at where his career hasn’t taken him. Highly intelligent and desperate to do the
one thing he loves more than life itself…act. Dorothy Michaels is strong-willed,
understanding and humorous. Slightly coy, slightly vain and completely lovable.
Gender: Male
Age: 40 to 45
Vocal range top: D5
Vocal range bottom: A2

Julie Nichols
An actor at a crossroad in her life. Focused, self-aware and self-assured. She masks her pain
and longs to connect.
Gender: Female
Age: 30 to 40
Vocal range top: G5
Vocal range bottom: E3

Sandy Lester
Michael’s ex-girlfriend, now a friend. She’s neurotic, pessimistic, self-deprecating, childish,
and easily flummoxed. She makes her anxieties known incredibly loudly and really just
wants to be happy.
Gender: Female
Age: 30 to 40
Vocal range top: E5
Vocal range bottom: G#3

Max Van Horn
A self-obsessed actor with a limited wit. A firm believer in his own hype who can’t imagine
anyone not being attracted to him.
Gender: Male
Age: 25 to 35
Vocal range top: G4

Jeff Slater
Michael’s roommate. A sardonic realist who lacks the ambition and drive to live up to his
potential. The voice of reason that swirls just outside the eye of Michael’s chaos. Jeff sees
the humor of situations and has no reluctance to point out people’s flaws-even his own.
Gender: Male
Age: 30 to 45
Vocal range top: D5
Vocal range bottom: B2

Rita Marshall
A levelheaded producer. Experienced and the voice of sanity and reason in a swirling pool
of crazy. She is always a beat ahead of everyone and is very New York.

Vocal range top: B4
Vocal range bottom: F3

Stan Fields
Michael’s overworked agent. Always to the point, he plays the game, but hates it.
Gender: Male
