Cast Requirements
2W, 4M
Set Description
Areas in and near a housing project in the South Bronx in July 1977. The set should be simple as scenes may shift quickly and most of the locations—the apartment, the grocery store, etc.—all have a uniform drab quality. Only the rec room, which is the party room should be vibrant and colorful. Around the periphery should be the sense of ruins—the burned-out Bronx that has become a normal part of life—and some of it should be adorned with less-than-beautiful graffiti.
