“The Rubicon”
Tom and Angela are at the end of their ropes. Facing foreclosure, bankruptcy and physical problems, they are offered a chance at a new life… at a price. They must leave all they know, and can never return. Will they risk everything for a fresh start, or choose to stay and face an uncertain future?
We will be casting the following roles (local Atlanta - Union and Non-union talent):
THOMAS HOBSON / LEAD / Male / 35 - 45 / Caucasian
Recovery from his hip injury has been slow, Angela lost her job, they lost their car, Angela may have breast cancer, and now they’re being foreclosed. He is willing to do whatever it takes to reach his goals. He’s taken work where his hip caused him great pain, but he just gritted his teeth and worked through it in order to keep the job. He is terrified of losing Angela to cancer and will go to any length to get her treated.

ANGELA MILLER-HOBSON / LEAD| Female / 35 - 40 / Caucasian
The bills have piled up, the car was repossessed, they’ve sold off everything they can, and two weeks ago she went to a free clinic for a mammogram, which showed a lump in her breast. And now they’re being foreclosed. Her stoic nature and intelligence means she is a very pragmatic person who tries to consider things logically. She was brought up to ‘keep going, no matter what.’ She hopes that if they just keep trying something, anything, there must be a way through their problems.

He’s starting to feel his age and he’s worried about being able to get and keep work and to be able to stay healthy without being chucked into some ‘old folks home.’ He welcomes a fresh start.
