BREAKDOWN

WIPEOUT

SYNOPSIS: Gary is turning sixty-something, which can only mean one thing: It's time to learn to surf. With two long-standing friends floating beside her in the Pacific—and with the help of a California surf-bro instructor — Gary and her friends navigate the undertow of fear and long-held resentments alongside the unquenchable draw towards life and its many pleasures. A moving comedy about endings and beginnings.

SEEKING:

CLAUDIA: 60s/70s, Female, any ethnicity. A Taurus. An educator. Type-A core of the friends group. Has always made smart and solid choices in life. Cares about safety and stability. A wit that comes from anxiety.

WYNN: 60s/70s, Female, any ethnicity. Probably a Leo. Has had four husbands. She doesn’t think so, but everyone can tell about her multiple aesthetic interventions. She has a harder time with getting old, with things changing, and reacts aggressively towards it. She doesn’t think she is a good person, or that she has evolved over the years. A wit that comes from vanity.

GARY: 60s/70s, Female, any ethnicity. Probably an Aquarius. A free spirit, living her best life. Has a new girlfriend, and is excited about learning new things, having adventures, discussing (and having!) sex. Her cognitive faculties are in decline. A wit that comes from intelligence.
