Actors needed for script reading

Script Mechanics
Sat May 12
at the Buder Library
1:00 - 5:45

THIS MONTH WE read Keith Douchant's script, Southern Gothic, an
offbeat comedy, and one of last year's Cinemaspoke finalists.
Just say we need 5 males and 4 females, and the greatest need would
be for females.

Not a repeat!!!!!!
Due to the bad weather last month several readers could not make it;
consequently, we have bumped his reading to this month.

Script Mechanics aims to assist screenwriters in polishing their
scripts by having actors read the scripts aloud. The writer hears
their dialogue and get fresh insights into their character from the
actors' take on the script. The actors and other writers in the
organization offer suggestions and comments at the end of the reading.

Script Mechanics meets the second Saturday of the month at the Buder
Library. The library is just south of the Chippewa and Hampton
intersection; the address is 4401 Hampton Ave, 63109. It's the brick
building with turquoise and glass trim. We will be in the small
meeting room downstairs from 1:00 - 5:45; however, the reading may
not take quite that long. Parking is available behind and south of
the building and in the lot in front of the bank across the side
street to the north.

Please contact Sandy Olmsted, at olmsteds@slu.edu for information or
to volunteer to have yor script read.

Actors needed

Captain KickAss Productions is looking for actors/actresses to
participate in the wild weekend of filmmaking frivolity that is the 48
Hour Film Project June 8-10, 2007.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with this event, teams from
throughout the St. Louis region will be competing against each other
to write, shoot, and edit a short film over the course of a single
weekend. Teams are assigned certain elements mere minutes before the
festival starts, meaning that essentially all creativity must be done
in just 48 hours.

It's a crazy caffeine packed good time!

At any rate, we are looking for easy going and talented actors and
actresses to be part of our team. All looks, types, ages, and
experience levels are encouraged to submit a resume and head shot to
casting@ckaproduction.com.

Because there is no script, there are no roles that we are
necessarily looking to fill. Rather, we are looking for
personalities that we feel we could work well with, and who are
willing to be flexible with the kind/size of role they might
receive. Similarly, because there are no roles written as such, we
will not be doing a traditional casting. Instead we will be having an
informal get together in about two weeks. We intend to use this time
as a chance to get to know our potential cast, and get a better feel
for who you are, and who you could be/want to be on film.

We only have two requirements:
- You must have transportation to the Metro East
- You must be available ALL DAY on Saturday June 9

Please note that due to the nature of this competition, casting
decisions will not be made until the night that the festival begins,
mere hours before we actually start shooting. Chosen cast members
will be notified as soon as possible, and all cast members will be
emailed a copy of the script in the wee hours of the morning before
production begins.

Additionally note that due to restrictions put in place by the 48HFP,
all cast and crew members must be volunteers. As such, we can not
pay you. However we will provide lunch, and snacks throughout the
day. For additional information, please feel free to contact Seth
Treptow at (618) 541-2242 or via email at
streptow@ckaproduction.com. Also feel free to check out our website
- www.ckaproduction.com - for a better glimpse of who we are and what
we have done.

Independent Feature Film looking for extras

Jim & Susan, LLC is looking for extras for the independent feature
length film. Jim.

Need 20-25 background extras, including children, for Sunday, May
20th 9am-1pm and possibly one other day.
Minors will need to bring a copy of birth certificate.

These are non-speaking roles on location on a playground in Ferguson,
MO.

Film Synopsis:

Jim's narrative interweaves two distinct stories examining the
pressures of society and environment on
an individual's capacity to make decisions relating to his own well-
being. Part one deals with Jim, the
title character, and his rapid decline after the death of his young
wife. Being steadily crushed under the
weight of debt, unemployment, and increasing isolation, Jim reaches a
breaking point. Armed with
his wife's frozen eggs and a new resolve, Jim secures the services of
a large biotech firm to help him
create an heir who will be engineered to overcome the obstacles of
common men. Part two deals with the
long-term effects of Jim's action. Set in the distant future, Jim's
immortal son Niskaa and a small group of
similarly modified beings reign over a race of worker clones against
the backdrop of a super-industrialized,
post-apocalyptic earth.

Non-Equity Auditions for A CLASH OF SWORDS

The Tin Ceiling Theatre Company is proud to announce non-equity auditions for next production, "A Clash of Swords: Two comedies involving knights, pirates, cannons, and a certain mythical lizard". The production will feature two brand new, original plays by St. Louis writers Christopher Cyr and Damian S. K. Samways.

We are looking for eight males, one female, and one pirate ship of all races over the age of eighteen for the following roles:

For "Dragon's Lair" by Christopher Cyr:

Aloicious of the Flat Lands (male) - Aloicious is the meek and mild, but very enthusiastic clerk of Sir Gawain, a knight of the round table.

Roland of Slychester (male) - Roland is an innkeeper from the village of Slychester. He is also on the verge of death.

Sir Gawain (male) - Sir Gawain is a knight of the roundtable.

Sir Lancelot (male) – Sir Lancelot is also a knight of the roundtable, and a bit of a prick to boot.

For "Blackbird White" by Damian S. K. Samways:

Ana Alvarez Cabral (female) - Slightly heavy-handed Portuguese boatswain ('bosun') struggling to impose her authority on a male-dominated ship. She is descended from the great Pedro Alvarez Cabral, and she despises all Spaniards except for Queen Isabella.

Mr. Fairweather (male) - Absent minded captain of the 'Irascible Magpie' in the midst of a midlife crisis. Ex-British Navy. Likes his eggs runny, and doesn't have a wooden leg.

Mr. Pike (male) - Master shipman. Stuck in a rut between loyalty and ambition. He wears an eye patch with the purpose of keeping one eye trained for the dark below decks and one eye trained for the daylight above. He hates wearing wet boots.

The Prince of Denmark (male) -  Very quiet and sullen sort of fellow.

The Irascible Magpie (pirate ship) - The fastest ship in the fleet. Made the West Indian run in just under forty days.

All roles are non-equity. Headshots and resumes welcome, but not required. Auditions will consist of cold reading from the scripts which you can download and read at the following links:
