Lobby Hero
by Kenneth Lonergan
Directed by Leo Ocampo
Synopsis: Four people. One building lobby. A moral reckoning none of them saw coming. What happens when emotions come in conflict with principles, and how do choices under pressure define who we really are? The lobby of a Manhattan apartment building is much more than a waiting area for four New Yorkers involved in a murder investigation. It’s a testing ground for what happens when personal and professional personas find themselves at odds. A young security guard with big ambitions clashes with his stern boss, an intense rookie cop and her unpredictable partner in a play from the 2017 Oscar-winning writer of Manchester by the Sea, Kenneth Lonergan.

CHARACTER BREAKDOWN
We are seeking a diverse cast of performers for this production. People of all genders, races, ages, and sexual orientation are encouraged to audition.
JEFF (M, Late Twenties) White American. A goof-off security guard in the middle of the graveyard shift. He wants to make a better life for himself, he just doesn’t know where or how.
WILLIAM (M, Late Twenties) Black American. The youngest captain in the history of his security firm and looking to grow. Struggles with his brother’s recent trouble with the law.
BILL (M, Around Thirty) White American Beloved local hero cop who believes his own hype and has happily allowed it to corrupt him. Only really here to “visit” the woman in apartment 22-J. Imagine the typical image of a cop: that’s Bill.
DAWN (F, Early Twenties) Any ethnicity, American. A naive, cute rookie cop, torn between admiration for her partner and her firm morals. In over her head, but aspires to be a great cop.
