Casting actors for Podcast

This is Randy Manning and I'm working on a new project.

It's kinda like a radio play, (actually, a podcast). In other words,
it's a play with voices only, that'll be available from the Jest
website. www.ShirleyUJest.com (It will advertise Jest Mysteries.)

It will be recorded near Soulard.

I've never done this before, so I really don't know how everything
will work. (We'll have to learn as we go.)

The premise: A "Company Holiday Party Committee" is meeting, and they
are trying to decide what to use for entertainment. Of course, in the
end, they decide on "Jest Mysteries", (what are the odds!)

Although I don't know what I'm doing exactly, it'll be fun! We'll get
together one evening and create. I'll buy the pizza and soda, and
anyone who does a character will get either a Jest Mysteries hat or
t-shirt, and a copy of the final product.

I am casting this by auditions. ...and the auditions are really easy.

If you're interested…choose what character(s) you want to try out for,
call my office number, (618-281-9439), and read the pieces below, in
character, on the answering machine. (Don't forget to leave your name
and contact info.) I'll listen to all of them and try to make some
decisions on Friday, (9-14-07).

The Characters are generally all "over the top".
(I'm especially looking for someone to do a good "Bogey".

Bill – Committee chairman. In the beginning, he's tired of it all.
Later in the play, he's excited.

Clarisse – A gum chewing Brooklyn girl, nail filing, blonde.

Jim – Quick witted, sarcastic, funny. He's probably the smartest guy
in the room.

John - Eager to do things by the letter of the law. He's very "anal".

Geraldine - Smoker. She smokes. Did I mention she smokes?

Pat - Level headed. Maybe she's the most normal person in the room?

Steve - He's "out of it". An ex-pothead?

Mr. Shlibitzen - Founder of the company. Pompous. Talks down to
people.

Christy - Innocent. Childlike? She's like Georgette on the old Mary
Tyler Moore show.

Sam Spade - A detective out of a film noir. Humphrey Bogart? Columbo?

If you know someone who might be interested, would you forward this to
them? Thanks.
