Palmyre

Female, 35-50 Thin, tight, nervous and twitchy.  Essentially  harridan.  She hasn't had sex with Gustave in years.  Sexually frustrated and imprisoned by what the audience perceives as Victorian restraint. No nudity but masturbation may be implied/shown tastefully. Her emotions cantankerous demeanor can turn to fear and hysteria quickly.  Frankly, she is a nightmare until she is sated by the (re)maculation of Gustave at the end of the story.  Joan Allen type.

Gustave

Male, 35-50 Portly,  gone to fat, given up on sex with his long suffering wife who he now considers a shrew to hide from.   Gives the impression that he wants to live a quiet life .  Is he happy in himself? Sexually frustrated.  He fancies himself a fine piano player too.  Semi-nudity required (buttocks only).  Needs to move from docile to manly determination in a short period of time.  

Celeste

Female, 16-25, and Palmyre's maid.   Beautiful, willowy, graceful. Demure but subservient when chastened by Palmyre.  Most of her performance will be with looks and eyes.

Now Casting - “DREAM HOUSE”

Great Opportunity!

Stipend

Playhouse on Park is looking for four actors and actually one older actress for a staged workshop production of Dream House.  Performances 11/27 8 pm and 11/28 2 pm . Equity and non Equity eligible

http://www.playhouseonpark.org/pop/20102011Season/newplayreadings_home.html

Mark O’Brien (Mid 40s in the Present/ages 16 to 30 in the Past), a “wonderful son” who has given up on his own dreams.  He drinks too much. This actor should be attractive, have an edge, able to see the irony especially in his mother's odd statements and habits. He is intelligent, neurotic, insecure, and funny despite himself. He has given up on life until the appearance of Ted, who rekindles his emotions and passion.

Ginnie O’Brien, Mark’s mother (late 70s in the Present/40s in the Past), a charismatic, charming woman who maintains an upbeat façade to conceal her fears. She suffers a profound narcissistic wound which she has encased in layers of charm, bubbliness, manipulativeness, fantasy, and at times grandiosity. As the play unfolds, the layers are stripped away and we see a woman increasingly desperate to hold on to the past. Not unlike Amanda Wingfield in Glass Managerie. 

R.J. O’Brien, Mark’s father from the Past (70s in the Present/50s in the Past), a sales executive who suddenly disappears. An attractive, maculine man, straight out of a 1960s Sears catalog, but who covers his profound desire to escape his family through emotional aloofness or drunkenness and eventual escape (must be able to play drunk well).

Dickie O’Brien Mark’s younger brother (40ish in the Present/14-30 in the Past), a successful businessman. Arrogant, a little smarmy, self possessed and emotionally constrained. Can be bitingly funny, esp in dealing with his neurotic mother.  Would be a soulless prick, if we didn't also see the vulnerability underneath caused by his father's complete rejection of him. Attractive and extremely well dressed. Own's his own business, deals with very rich clients providing financial advice. Trophy family. Must be able to also portray Dickie as a 14 year old  

Ted Wolinksi (30s/40s), an attractive, masculine carpenter, a free spirit.

 for imediate consideration. Add “Hydro Intervention” to subject line.

PLEASE NO PHONE CALLS

 Doc Hydro: (Male, Late 20s to early 30s) Our spokesman. A strong, intense and perhaps overly-empathetic man, imparting wisdom to the masses. His intensity is a little disconcerting, but he definitely commands a room.

Justin: (Male, early to mid 20s) Our scruffy faced dude in need of a “hydrovention.” Justin is a cool, hip, stylish, well-meaning guy on the inside – but has let his beard become ratty and unkept

Matt: (Male, early to mid 20s) Justin’s best friend, who is alarmed by his friend’s condition. Matt is clean-shaven and stylish. He’s empathetic, but also blames Justin for some recent events, where a potential hook-up was “beard-blocked” by his friend’s unruly appearance.

Jason: (Male, late 20s) Justin’s clean-shaven disinterested older brother. Jason is begrudgingly there for the sake of the family, but doesn’t seem particularly concerned about his brother’s predicament. In fact, he’s often caught texting or listening to his mp3 player in the background, hardly paying attention to the proceedings.

Jill: (Female, early to mid 20s) Justin’s sister, who is very concerned over her brother’s condition. She’s concerned that no girl would ever date him again. As a twin, they shared a lot growing up and it kills her to see Justin like this.

Lauren: (Female, early to mid 20s) Justin’s snide and sarcastic ex-girlfriend, who broke up with him when his beard-abuse got out of control. She’s there for support, but she’s also relishing the opportunity to release her pent-up anger over Justin’s hairy habits.

John, Justin’s Dad: (Male, late 40s to mid 50s) Justin’s stoic dad, a man of few words, is visibly upset at the path his son has chosen. And unknown to his family, John harbors a dark secret: his father was a hairaholic, and he witnessed beard abuse as a child. Now, he fears it’s genetic and Justin is living out this vicious cycle.

Jane, Justin’s Mom: (Female, early 40s to mid 50s) Justin’s mom is a caring and sympathetic woman, clearly distraught over her son’s condition. She laments the loss of her “smooth faced little boy” and begs him to get treatment.

Actors Needed - Feature Film, American Jubilee!

FavoriteMedia

Press Release

For Immediate Release

  The Feature Film, American Jubilee is currently looking for actors. 

  Filming will begin in July of this year.

This film is currently non-union, however, we may use SAG actors (this is currently under negotiations).

American Jubilee is a feature comedy with existential elements.   The screenplay was written by Ryan Casey (Director of Crushing Pennies, Executive Director of Ditch, and Producer of Sensory Perception).

To see some of Mr. Casey's past work:

Casting Breakdown

  AVERY "Vance" McCormick

- 30, average build.  Lives at his father, OTIS' house and believes that he is staying there to take care of his womanizing father.  Avery is a follower, dabbles, not good at knowing what he's good at and/or, not good at knowing what other peoples' needs are. 

  KENZIE McCormick - 20, average to thin build.  Tries to fix things, engineer, very analytical/left-brainer, touchy, critical even of her family.  Was offered many scholarships because of her ability to understand engineering/the mechanics of how the physical world works.

  OTIS McCormick

- 60, average build.  Womanizer.  Retiring anesthesiologist.  Through exposition we realize that OTIS has an affliction of causing women to be thoroughly interested in him - years of this and his floating from woman to woman (after he and his wife divorced and she passed) is what caused his nervous breakdown. 

  JUNE "Junie" McCormick -

 45, normal build.  JUNIE has no filter on life.  But this is not necessarily a bad thing...  Junie is good at heart and sometimes wishes she could better communicate with the McCormick children.

  LYSSANDRA Catfield  - 30, Sexy.  OTIS' next semi-blind neighbor who lives above them in the two family house.  She supposedly takes care of her sick mother.  LYSSANDRA has a sharp sense of humor that stings most people. 

  RANDY "mittens" OR "the Gull" Gullchrest - 45, normal to larger build.  A local thief.  RANDY is somewhat of a cultured person - he listens to classical music in the broken down school bus he lives in.  He is somewhat hip, but this is somewhat eclipsed by his obsession with thievery.  RANDY is living his dream.

  CASSIE Bright - 23, Average to thin build.  Otis' girlfriend.  Natural beauty.  Somewhat earthy.  Smart, knows what she wants at all levels of life, calm, realist, kind, has a heart inside, loves animals (because they reciprocate love without any complications and also she likes taking care of them as she does OTIS).

  CLAUDE McCormick - 9, the youngest of the McCormicks.  Runs a gambling ring at school, has no parental discipline, using only what he sees on TV as a moral compass.  Claude is afloat in life.

  NADINE- 25 to 30, a very attractive uptight, thin to average build, uber-trendy dressed, as if she were auditioning for Fox News, reporter.

  RUDY (a.k.a. Billy the Kid) - 45, male - school principal.  Normal build.  Randy is laid-back and into Billy Joel.

  Young KENZIE - 10, female - innocent-looking; long-hair is needed for this scene. 

  Young RANDY- 5, male - slightly larger build is preferred.

  For more information, contact CT Casting Director, Dan Clark at: Dan@AJmovie.com

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Need actors for my screenwriting class finales ... which will be held at the Garde Arts Gallery on the corner of State Street & Meridian Street in New London, right across from Hanafin's Irish Pub, Wednesday, Thursday, June 9th & 10th. Actors must arrive no later than 6 PM for performances starting 6:30 PM. I will hand you scripts with the roles indicated and then you go off and practice either alone or with other actors in your scenes.

These are all sit-down readings at a table in front of the audience in the Gallery. It's not like a stage play where you get up and move around. You can do damn near whatever you want at the table ... but cannot get up. Someone will always be assigned to reading the action sequences in a very animated fashion. Screenplay presentations are unique!

(Do NOT confer with the writers beforehand. This will tell them if they've conveyed their intents clearly with the scripts. Old expression: "If it ain't on the page, it ain't on the stage!")

As usual the grateful writers will provide food & drink for all of you and the audience, so come prepared to munch and chug. And thank you for doing this. It's the first step these writers will have in the pursuit of a dream that eventually culminates with script-to-screen.

Please e-mail me soon with a response which night(s) you can perform. Till later ~

Audition Notice for RUNAWAYS

ACT 2 THEATRE, located on the campus of Albertus Magnus College, New Haven Connecticut, will hold auditions for the musical RUNAWAYS by Elizabeth Swados. Auditions will be held at the Theatre on Friday, December 4, 2009 starting at 7 pm. Auditions are open to adult men and women of all ages and children between the ages of 9 -15. Those auditioning should bring the music they are prepared to sing.

RUNAWAYS' subject matter deals with the issue of runaway children and adults. Their life on the street and their longing for a supportive, loving family life denied them by circumstance. Runaway and abducted children and adults is a national crisis too often hidden in the shadows until one is sensationalized for a few brief news cycles. The crisis is quickly forgotten as are the many thousands of children who now must call the street a home. Many thousands of children and adults are forced out of their family unit every year with no alternative but to survive in any way available to them. RUNAWAYS was originally performed by a cast that called the street their home.

Rehearsals for RUNAWAYS will take place on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from EARLY January through February, 2010. Performances will be Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays in February, 2010.

NEW HAVEN - Long Wharf Theatre, under the leadership of Artistic Director Gordon Edelstein, invites local Non-Equity actors of all ages to audition for Finding the Sun by Edward Albee and Seagulls by Caryl Churchill, to be produced by the Next Stage Program, a program for early career theatre professionals. 

Finding the Sun is Edward Albee’s quirky but profoundly human exploration of eight individual lives intersecting on a New England beach one hot July afternoon. When old lovers meet, mothers meddle, and generations come together, they are forced to re-examine their lives in a new light.

Seagulls follows a British woman named Valery trying to regain her mysterious powers after they suddenly vanish in this mesmerizing offering by Caryl Churchill. Despite her manager’s pushing and a young fan’s encouragement, Valery strives to find herself even as she seeks the courage to continue.

Auditions will be held Tuesday, Feb. 10 and Wednesday, Feb. 11, from 6:00 pm to 10:00 pm. Each audition will be five minutes.

Callbacks will be held Thursday, Feb. 12 starting at 6:00 pm. Rehearsals will be held 3-4 times a week, evenings and weekends beginning February 23.

 Synopsis: Morris had it all. A great job, cool apartment, and an almost reasonable girl friend. Until the day came when an online hacker stole his identity and ran his credit into the shitter. Forced to quit his job and move in with his best bud CJ, Morris ends up working as a janitor at a local firm. In the middle of it all his girl friend dumps him for a Swedish dog trainer, lets just say Morris could be in a better situation at the moment. A local television studio that produces his television show called D'Basement is closing in a half year. His girl friend Allison comes back into his life in an awkward turn of events and Morris's friends don't like it.
