PEACE, LOVE & MISUNDERSTANDING CASTING CALL

SUNDAY June 6, 2010

An open casting call will be held for PEACE, LOVE & MISUNDERSTANDING, a feature film to be helmed by the Academy Award®-nominated director Bruce Beresford. The story, set on a rural farm and neighboring village, is a multigenerational romantic comedy starring two time Academy Award®-winning actress Jane Fonda and two time Academy Award®‐nominated actress Catherine Keener.

Shooting will take place locally in the Hudson Valley from mid‐July through the end of August.

The production is seeking local actors and artists for:

-male roles (ages 20‐50)

-male teenage roles (ages 16‐18)

-female roles (ages 30-50)

Where: Marbletown Community Center

When: SUNDAY June 6 from 12–6pm

Requirements: Please bring a headshot or a recent photo. Screen Actors Guild and non-SAG artists welcome.

POSTED BY HUDSON VALLEY FILM COMMISSION AT 2:34 PM

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).

Please see Character Breakdown below (to see if you might fit in one of the needed roles).

If we find a fit, we will email you with details about auditions (we will be holding auditions in early June).

- 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.

- 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.

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.

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 ~

"Number" revolves around a young woman (Faris) who, with the aid of her womanizing next door neighbor (Evans), decides to re-visit all her ex-boyfriends in the hopes of finding the man of her dreams.

The director is Brit Mark Mylod who previously helmed "Ali G Indahouse" before moving stateside with HBO's "Entourage," on which he was a director and co-executive producer.

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.

For more information on auditions, rehearsals and performances, please, call the Theatre office at (203) 773-8584.

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. Performance dates will be Friday, April 24, at 8:00 pm; Saturday, April 25, at 3:00 pm and 8:00 pm; and Sunday, April 26, at 2:00 pm. Please note that we are unable to offer compensation for actors in these roles.

All actors should bring a current resume and headshot. While walk-ins will be accommodated, appointments are strongly recommended and may be made by contacting Bradley Diuguid at 203-787-4284 (x262) or educationresident@longwharf.org. If you are not available for the dates above, please contact Bradley Diuguid to inquire about alternative arrangements.

Please prepare two contrasting contemporary monologues that run no more than two minutes each. If you are invited to callbacks, please bring a calendar of conflicts that may interfere with the rehearsal period. Actors may audition for one or both plays.

We are seeking non-Equity actors for all of the following roles:

Finding the Sun:
ABIGAIL: Early to mid 20’s, married young, haunted by unfulfilled dreams and a desire to feel wanted. Yearns for love and recognition from her husband Benjamin. A wounded soul.
BENJAMIN: Late 20’s to early 30’s, apathetic to his less-than-ideal marriage to Abigail. Lacks sensitivity to other people’s pain and selfishly desires Daniel’s love.
CORDELIA: Mid to late 20’s. Comes across as straightforward, pulled-together, and focused, but maintains an inwardly manipulative quality.
DANIEL: Mid to late 30’s. Hides beneath a delightful sense of humor and sarcasm. Harbors a deep desire to reconcile broken relationships, despite his sarcastic comments.
EDMEE: Mid 40’s. Single mother. Instructive and protective, matter-of-fact, wants the best for her son, though is not fully aware of his inquisitive personality.
FERGUS: Teenager. Top marks in high school. Maybe a genius. Eager, particular, and uninhibited. Looking for answers to life’s big questions as only an adolescent boy can do.
GERTRUDE: Early to mid 60’s. Nosey and proud of it. Seeking both adventure and security as she pries into other people’s lives.
HENDEN: Early to mid 70’s. A comfortable spirit, non-judgmental, and grateful. In love with life and open to its simple pleasure. Willing to admit to his fears and pleasures.

Seagulls:
VALERY: F, late 20’s-early 30’s. Young housewife, old soul.
DI: F, mid-late 20’s. Valery’s assistant and friend. Business-like.
CLIFF: M, early-mid 20’s. College student. Idealistic pursuer of truth; comic book geek.
