*CHARACTER BREAKDOWN*



*DENSON: *Late 40’s/50’s. African-American male. Has the blood of a
storyteller and mind of a fox. Strong like a citadel but with a good sense
of humor that keeps people smiling. Warm, with an active, always-working
mind. He’s good at keeping secrets. So good you wouldn’t know he had them.
Married to Blythe. Monica’s Father.

*MONICA: *Early 20’s/30’s. Biracial female. Slick, smart, sexy. At a
crossroads of mind, self, and body. She’s adopted, so doesn’t specifically
resemble Blythe or Denson. A beautiful mix of beautiful parents. She has a
bite. Prone to impulsive decisions. Hungry for something stable.

*SHOD: *Caucasian male. The most attractive man you've ever seen. Strong
deep features, solid physique. Seriously, he's impressive. Age unknown
Maybe 28, Maybe 48. Works with his hands, which are huge. A guy’s guy. A
man’s man. Masculine. Sensual. Sexual. Mercurial. Magnetic. Sometimes when
he turns, if you’re looking closely, you can sometimes see darkness in him.
Animalistic. Primal.

*MAMA: *Mid-late 50’s+. A matriarch of a man with a warmness that
occasionally gives way to a fatigued loneliness. Queer as a parade. The
manager and bartender of The Armature Bar for 25 years. Keen eye for
observations, and interpretations. A historian of sorts. Good at talking.
Great at listening. Sassy. NOT a caricature.

*NOTE : *seeking brave actors. *ARMATURE *features explicit language &
content.

*SYNOPSIS*

Candidate Blythe Ames prepares - with a voice as smooth and strong as a
song - for the upcoming governor's election. Her husband Denson should be
happier for her political success. Her daughter Monica should stop dying
her hair. Across town, pop-culture blogger Evan meets sexy stranger Shod at
the dark and sordid Armature Bar where Mama serves the drinks - if he's
able to avoid the reporters. The lives of these very different people
collide as a roaring fire erupts with biblical wrath and passion, devouring
everything in its path.
