Performances are Friday and Saturday, May 27 & 28 (Memorial Day weekend). Tech rehearsals are the preceding Tuesday and Wednesday. Why self-motivated? Because there may not be many actor-only rehearsals prior to tech. You'll be expected to come in with your lines memorized. (All told, the "actor's part" of the dance show is probably no more than a one-act equivalent, interspersed between the dancing.) Roles available are: Dr. Fraud [pronounced "FROWD"] (doctor), who is a skeptical, cynical, middle-aged, greed-monger. Ms. Pennington (patient), who is a rich, clumsy, rambling outcast. Frank (assistant) Ms. Pennington will be required to do a basic Charleston swizzle step (but we can coach you on that). If you're interested, e-mail or -- preferably -- call me (510-429-1528), and I'll e-mail you a copy of the script.

It's a new translation of Jean Genet's 'The Maids' that's going to have an all-male cast (as Genet once said he originally intendedthe characters are all women.) The writing's fabulous and we've got a great team put together. For the cast, we need one man in his thirties or forties (ethnicity is not important) and one man over fifty (perhaps well over again, ethnicity is not important, but were hoping to find a person of color for at least one of the roles). The auditions will be held at 2:00PM on Saturday the 9th of April at 574 Natoma Street (which is between Mission and Howard and between 7th and 6th Streets, closer to 7th). Actors need not send anything in advance, but should bring with them a risumi and head shot. I can send you a copy of the audition scene if youll send me an e-mail deWally@LMi.net . We also need a Producer, a Sound Operator, a Script Supervisor, a Make-up Artist (with experience making up men as women), and a Set Decorator. Regrettably, it's a first-time-out venture with no funding so we can't offer to pay. What we can offer is on-screen credit, meals during the shoot and a video copy of the finished film. And because this will be the first new translation of this well known work by Genet in over fifty years, because it will be the first-ever translation for an American audience, and because it will be the first-ever film version to use an all-male cast, we expect the film to attract attention and get fairly wide festival screening. If youre interested in auditioning or working with us behind camera on this exciting project, please e-mail me deWally@LMi.net .
