1F (18-30) and 1F (25-40). All roles available. Non-traditional casting.

Goner is a frenetic black comedy that combines political intrigue,
hospital drama, and screwball comedy resulting in a piece that The
Guardian (August 8, 2002) describes as "American satire at its sick,
twisted best. It is set in a hospital, where the US president has been
taken after an assassination attempt. Watching it is like vomiting acid in
the wind and finding it comes back to hit you full in the face."

----------------------------------------------------------------------

For Conserving Melissa, we are seeking 1F (18-35), 1F (25-45) and 2M
(25-45), All roles available. Non-traditional casting.

In Conserving Melissa, a conservator's obsession with the Egyptian mummy
she's restoring threatens her impending marriage in this funny romance
cursed with confusion. You never really know someone till they're dead....
