Subjects for Still Photographer

My name is Stephen Kennedy and I'm a St. Louis based photographer.

I'm seeking four subjects for a still photo shoot to be shot individually.  I'm also seeking small intergenerational groups

of the same family for a parallel project.  The primary use will be for my stock archive and on-line portfolio.

All ethnicities are welcomed.  There is no age limit but you must be 

at least 35 to be considered for the individual shot.

There is no set shoot day yet, but I'm hoping to start in mid-October.

I will pay each subject $35.00 for a shoot session that will last no more

than one hour.  I will also share digital files.

You can get a feel for my work by visiting my website at 

www.stephenkennedy.com

Please send a recent headshot to my by e-mail or a link to an online 

portfolio to casting@stephenkennedy.com

You must include a headshot or recent snapshot to be considered!

Thank you,

Stephen Kennedy

Non Equity Auditions

Continuing The Tin Ceiling's critically acclaimed 2006 season comes
auditions for its next show, the 2004 Oppenheimer Award winning play
for Best New York Debut "The Flu Season" by Pulitzer-prize nominated
author Will Eno.

The Guardian describes the play thusly: "a love
story goes bad (really bad), a play gets written in painful fits and
starts, snow falls, it turns to slush. Maybe spring arrives. This is a
play to remind us why sunsets make us sad, how nostalgia is like fog
and why we live our lives as though we are in mourning for them. THE
FLU SEASON is stingingly funny and really rather beautiful. Eno
specializes in the connections of the unconnected, the apologetic
murmurings of the disengaged, those who have suppressed their humanity
to survive. It is vicious stuff, written in a language so deceptively
innocent, so full of platitudes, that you don't realize it has cut you
deep until you feel the warm seep of bloody despair."

Directed by Andrew Byrd.

Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script. All roles
are non-equity.

Audition Date: Oct 24th 7:30pm at The Tin Ceiling 3159 Cherokee in
South St. Louis. Callbacks Oct 26th

Performance dates: Dec 8th, 9th, 10th, 15th, 16th, 17th at 8pm
