Actors needed for script reading

Script Mechanics

Sat Aug 11
at the Buder Library
1:00 - 5:45

THIS MONTH WE will read Paul Macfarlane's Screenplay "Ripples." A
wide variety of actresses and actors are needed for this script
reading, including leads Nora and Paul, reoccurring roles Rebecca,
Scottt and Patty, all fiv 30 something, and many minor roles that
have lots of potential for acting.

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.
