Breakdown

REGGIE HOOPS

SEEKING (Principal roles and Understudies):

Reggie Hoops: Female, mid-30s, Black, Irish, & Puerto Rican. Obsessive about the game and her love. Athletic. Competitive, but believes sacrifice for the greater good is the key to success in all walks of life. Built her whole life around the game of basketball; trying to figure out how to rebuild a life out of the game.

Bells: Female, early-30s, Asian-American. Reggie's wife. Vibrant. Boss energy and her electricity with Reggie is out of this world. Her rhythm is likely much faster than Reggie’s.

Muncie: Male, early-30s, Black, Irish, and Puerto Rican. Reggie's brother. He is a full-on mess and we love him. The story in many ways hinges on this. He’s as honest as he is ridiculous.

Rafa: Male, mid-30s, Latino Reggie's one-time flame. He’s a bad decision that everyone in the audience should want to make. Charisma. Sex appeal. He’s got nothing but luck on his side.

Iz: Female, late 50s, Irish & Puerto Rican. (also appears in flashbacks in her 20s and early 50s) Reggie's mother. Impulsive. Rule breaker and boundary pusher. She loves her people.

Ben: Male, Black (appears only in flashback in his 20s and early 50s) Reggie's father. Family first. He does what he has to do for the people he loves.
