Additional Materials

Breakdown

Production states: "All roles will be understudied."
Chris - (male, 25-35, any ethnicity); a high-status clown; rigid, uptight, everything really matters; he is the director of the show and this is the biggest day of his life; everything is riding on this; it is a nerve-wracking and exciting night; his pain is evident and every time someone laughs the pain deepens; he has equal amounts of contempt for his fellow actors and the audience watching the play; RP accent.
Robert - (male, 25 -35, any ethnicity); wants to be Richard Burton, as evidenced by his declamatory style; he is, however, not a parody of a bad actor; he is unaware of others around him; he does not feel badly when things go wrong and never learns from his mistakes; there is a power struggle between Robert and Chris to be president of the Cornley Poly Drama Society (a position that matters a great deal to Robert); has real vocal power; RP accent.
Max - (male, 25-35, any ethnicity); he has never been on stage before; he learned his lines and does exactly what he's told to do; he has zero connection with any of the other actors, but when he gets a laugh he breaks the 4th wall and engages with the audience; childlike and naïve; his mistakes are fundamental; he doesn't think anything through, just looks for approval; RP accent.
Dennis - (male, 25-35, any ethnicity); he has no real desire to be involved in the theatre, he just wants to make friends (of which he has none); he believes if he does well in the show, he will be more successful socially; laughter from the audience is agony for him; he may be slightly oblivious but understands when he gets things wrong; the laughter is a personal tragedy/failure; RP accent.
Trevor - (male, 25-35, any ethnicity); the play's lighting and sound operator. He simply wants to get on with the show; curmudgeonly and doesn't care for actors; he is easily distracted and does many things he shouldn't, including engaging with the audience; when things go really sideways, he is forced to act in the play; he hates acting; standard American accent.
Jonathan - (male, 25-35, any ethnicity); a bit bland, but sees himself as a James Bond type; excited and having fun, but not naïve; he technically has to drive the show; he cares about the play, but not to the same extent as the others; very physical role; RP accent.
Sandra - (female, 25-35, any ethnicity); she is vain and possesses a huge ego; wants to be loved; has ambitions to go to Hollywood and will hurt anyone standing in the way of what she wants but is smart enough to stay on the good side of someone who can help her (like the director); you know the type; the stakes are high for her; very physical role; RP accent.
Annie - (female, 25-35, any ethnicity); the stage manager; she has the biggest journey of any of the characters; when Sandra is indisposed Annie, who cannot bear to be on stage, must step in; initially terrified by acting, she is willing to kill for it by the end of the play; her initial terror turns to joy, and then to fury; she starts small but grows and grows; standard American accent.

Vincent joins Equity from the United Food & Commercial Workers (UFCW) International Union, where he most recently served as International Vice President and Mid-Atlantic Region Director since 2005. Since joining UFCW as a member in 1988 and then as an organizer on staff in 1990, Vincent has been a tireless advocate for workers and social justice. He was identified by executive leadership for crucial projects due to his adept ability to quickly build strong labor organizations, grow dynamic teams and maximize the power of workers’ voices.

 “I am honored to be joining Actors’ Equity Association, an organization where members’ voices truly matter, as its executive director,” Vincent said. “I look forward to building an organization that continues to be at the forefront of workers’ rights, as well as diversity, equity and inclusion for not only its members but the industry at large.”

“When we started this process, I expected that we would hire a new ED from within our industry. But Al Vincent won me over as soon as we met him,” said Actors’ Equity Association President Kate Shindle. “I am incredibly compelled by his passion for effective, targeted communication and messaging, commitment to organizational transparency and accountability, creative approach to problem solving, and above all, his desire to create true belonging, inclusion, safety and fairness. He believes to his marrow in the dignity of workers, and the inherent respect that artist workers deserve. I truly believe that we are about to enter a momentous era, and that we are incredibly fortunate to welcome Al Vincent to Equity.”

During his time at UFCW, Vincent established a growth-minded culture within local unions, coaching leaders to embrace organizational change. He also launched a labor management partnership with Smithfield Foods and local food banks to donate 25 million servings of food to underserved communities and founded a hybrid political action committee focused on engaging energetic candidates for change.

 

Hailing from a multi-generation family of union members, Vincent rose through the ranks of UFCW leadership building expertise as a skilled and innovative organizer, negotiator, mobilizer and labor policy strategist. A longtime board member and advisor to the Keystone Research Center for Public Policy, he advises on economic development, income inequality, wages and education.

 

Vincent joins Equity at a critical moment in the union’s history. As Equity undergoes a transformative effort to respond to the pandemic, be more inclusive, increase its impact and modernize its technology, infrastructure and processes, Vincent enters the organization at an inflection point to shape its future. As executive director, Vincent will be responsible for the leadership of the organization (including operational and financial management of Equity's nationally-based professional staff) and the collective bargaining and contract oversight process for more than 40 national and regional contracts.

 

Equity partnered with executive search firm Stanton Chase International to conduct the process that led to Vincent's hiring. A committee of Equity councilors led by First Vice President Wydetta Carter selected finalist candidates to be interviewed by the full national council. Council voted unanimously to offer the position to Vincent.

 

“As the theatre industry experiences challenging times, Equity is making the changes necessary to move onward with strength, diversity and inclusion,'' said Actors’ Equity Association First Vice President Wydetta Carter. “As one of three officers of color in the history of Actor’s Equity Association, I am thrilled to see Al Vincent, Jr. become the first Black Executive Director of our union. As our membership and labor leaders across the country build their relationship with Al, they will come to know an organizer of work and workers, a strong negotiator, a trust builder, a strategic planner, a listener and a labor leader committed to change, for whom diversity and inclusion is never an afterthought but a part of every action.”

 

Vincent received his Master of Public Administration degree from the University of Baltimore and his bachelor’s degree from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. He will split his time between New York City and Washington, D.C. Outside of work, he enjoys spending time with his wife, Christyne Neff, and their two children. Vincent will be available to the press for interviews in February.
