NYU SHORT SEEKS FEMALE ACTRESS, 30+ AND/OR VOICE ACTRESS

Posted by: "stephanieborgs" stephanieborgs@yahoo.com   stephanieborgs

Fri Apr 11, 2008 2:50 pm (PDT)

I am an NYU student shooting a short film. I am looking for interesting and expressive faces,
30+, any race, any physique. Ability to cry on screen a major plus.

The project involves a woman recalling getting raped.

There is voice over and thus a lot of demanding voice acting so I am either also looking to
cast the on screen and voice roles separately or to find one actress who can do both.

I can't pay but you'll receive a copy and credit.

Please email me your headshot, resume, and any work samples (particularly if you're a voice
actor) to stephanieborgs@gmail.com

We are shooting April 17th, time is flexible. The voice-over will be recorded sometime during
the following week.

Mouth To Mouth � Equity Principal Auditions

The New Group ANTC Currently $423/week minimum; may change before first rehearsal.

1st rehearsal: September 22, 2008. Runs October 20 - November 6.

Story about a terminally ill writer and his friends exposes the outrageous and often hilarious ways people can disregard the suffering of others. The play unfolds to reveal deep betrayals within a bourgeois family, as an overprotective mother confronts her young son, who has just returned home from traveling abroad and having his first sexual experience.

Seeking:
Frank: Mid 40s. Disappointed, lonely gay playwright suffering from a terminal illness (probably AIDS). Apparently gentle and retiring, but full of buried yearning and tentative ambition. Everyone�s confidant. More comfortable fading into the wallpaper.

Laura: Mid 40s. Frank�s close friend. Opinionated, hyperactive and frustrated housewife. Maternal, and overly protective and possessive of her son Phillip. But also still sexual and vulnerable beneath the veneer.

Gompertz: Mid 30s. Frank�s doctor and friend, also gay. Catty, loves a party. Avid drinker and cocaine user. Rather a mess, partly from the loss of his partner.

Dennis: Mid 40s. Married to Laura. A dentist, and a family man. He is staid and outwardly content, but he is at odds with his wife and feels permanently out-of-place.

Phillip: Age 15. Frank and Laura�s son. A �nice kid�, but actually knowing and subtly rebellious. Brilliant at knowing how to please adults.

Roger: Early - mid 30s. Dennis�s youngest brother. Wine dealer who enjoys a drink. Confident, dismissive and apt to dominate any conversation.

Cornelia: Late 20s. Married to Roger. Interior designer with academic ambitions. Somewhat na�ve and unworldly, though passionately interested in people and things around her.

Auditions:
Friday, April 25, 2008
10 AM - 6 PM
Lunch from 1:30 � 2:30
@
Theatre Row Studios
411 West 41st Street (between 9th and Dyer Avenues)

Please prepare a brief contemporary monologue.

Seeking:
Vincent: Late 20s - early 30s. Gay playwright from Savannah, GA. Always an outsider. Given to rants, but can be charming and bitingly funny. Also high-strung, demanding, jealous and needy. Very attached to Matthew.

Matthew: Late 20s - early 30s. Up-and-coming film executive. Quite sick with AIDS, but fully functional. Warm, aims to please � a real host and a real friend. Also attached to Vincent, and in love with Luke. Insecure about relationships.
