Male Actor needed for Fertile Ground production. PAID!
I am seeking a male actor, 18-25, to play roles in two plays I am directing as workshop productions during the Fertile Ground Festival in January in association with PDX Playwrights.
The plays are "A Pretty Girl with Cancer" (a high school student) and "Scrooge and Marley Have Dinner in Hell" (a waiter). Please see http://pdxplaywrights.org/2012_casting_call/ for more information. The plays will be performed as part of a single production.

We will hold rehearsals in Southwest Portland during January, 2-3 nights per week for the three weeks leading up to performance. The other roles have been cast.
A PRETTY GIRL WITH CANCER: Popular student Vicki has been away from her high school for several months while receiving treatments for cervical cancer. Now a new school year is beginning, and Vicki tries to reintegrate into school, recover friendships, and ignore the judgment of those who don't understand what she has gone through.
SCROOGE AND MARLEY HAVE DINNER IN HELL: We find that after delivering his warning to Ebenezer Scrooge on that fateful Christmas Eve, Jacob Marley has spent the better part of a century tormented in the underworld. But on this Christmas, his old friend Scrooge pays a visit and brings along a surprising gift.
Sincerely,
Dave Chapman

SUMMER SHAKESPEARE AUDITIONS!
Post5 Theatre will be hosting the first ever unified-general Portland Shakespeare Auditions!
What does this mean? I'm glad you asked.
In an unprecedented collaboration, Post5 Theatre, Willamette Shakespeare, Portland Actors Ensemble, Northwest Classical Theatre Company, and The Original Practice Shakespeare Festival will be holding unified general auditions on the 15th and 16th of January!
Some of the companies will be auditioning for their summer productions, while others will be attending to see local talent (that's you) for future productions. So regardless of whether it's The Bard's comedies (like Much Ado About Nothing) that tickle you, his histories (Henry IV, Part 1) that get you going, or his tragedies (Hamlet: Prince of Denmark) that bring a tear to your acting eye, there will be plenty of opportunity to show off your talent (oh, we know you've got talent).
Sunday, January 15th 10:00 am - 5:00 pm
Monday, January 16th 4:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Please prepare 1 or 2 classical monologues. At least one piece should be from Shakespeare and at least one piece should be in blank or rhyming verse. The piece(s) should total no more than 3 minutes. You MUST be registered to attend the auditions.
How do you get involved, you ask?
Reply to: www.pdxshakespeare.com is the place to sign up for an audition slot. That's also where you'll find what to prepare, what to bring and where to go.
