I have been on location and have not been able to update the blog as much as I would like. In addition, there have been a lot of scam/fake audition postings out there recently. Please always use your best judgement when responding to ads on craigslist and other online resources.
In addition, for those of you who have asked about PCS Generals, to my knowledge, the best way to learn about these is to sign up for their mailing list or call their audition hotline for those equity actors out there. I know that their generals were not posted on the main websites and listservs I review, so I am unsure of why this was so quiet this season. These were posted on the PCS Blog.
Please remember that this is a free service I am offering and I do my best to update at minimum once a week. My goal is to post daily audition notices, and I will continue to strive for this, however, I am a working actor and must pay the bills, so there may be slight delays at times.
If you are a fan of the blog, please share this with actor friends. If you have any feedback for me on how to improve my blog, share this with me so that I may work on improving the blog.Thanks.

RAÍZ
An original, bilingual celebration of the Day of the Dead created by Martín Milagro
OCTOBER 18 to NOVEMBER 11, 2012
Every year, the dead are commemorated in Portland’s longest-running Día de los muertos celebration. This year, we unearth the interwoven roots of pre-Hispanic customs and traditions found at the juncture of life and death. Are we but dreaming and awake only when we die? Through music, dance and legend, we explore that thin veil that separates our world from the realm of our indigenous ancestors.
RAÍZ
Una celebración bilingüe original del Día de la muertos, creada por Martín Milagro
18 de octubre – 11 de noviembre de 2012
Cada año los muertos son conmemorados en la celebración más antigua del Día de los muertos en Portland. Este año desenterramos las raíces entrelazadas de las costumbres y tradiciones prehispánicas que se encuentran en la coyuntura de la vida y la muerta. ¿Estaremos en un sueño del que despertamos solo al morir? A través de la música, baile y leyendas indígenas, exploramos el velo delgado que separa nuestro mundo del de nuestros antepasados.
LA CELESTINA
A riotous tragicomedy adapted from Fernando de Rojas’ classic Spanish Golden Age novel
FEBRUARY 7 to MARCH 2, 2013
Presented in Spanish with easy-to-follow supertitles in English
In this bigger-than-life comedy, Calisto is a young and impulsive nobleman who's fallen madly in love with Melibea, the daughter of a rich businessman. But to win her over, the lovesick Calisto resorts to the less-than-pure magic of La Celestina, a bawdy sorceress whose scheming touches off a string of events with startling consequences. Dressed in Golden Age finery, this seriously funny critique of human nature remains as potent today as when it launched Spain’s literary renaissance in 1499.
LA CELESTINA
Una tragicomedia adaptada de la novela clásica escrita por Fernando de Rojas
7 de febrero – 2 de marzo de 2013
Presentada en español con supertítulos en inglés
Patrocinada por Josie Mendoza y Hugh Mackworth
Calisto es un noble joven e impulsivo que se ha enamorado perdidamente de Melibea, la hija de un hombre de negocios muy rico. Pero para conquistarla, Calisto acude a la menos que limpia magia de la Celestina, una hechicera tosca cuyas intrigas desata una cadena de acontecimientos con desafortunadas consecuencias. Con los costumbres elegantes del Siglo de Oro, esta divertida crítica de la naturaleza humana sigue siendo tan relevante hoy como cuando lanzó el renacimiento literario de España en 1499.
GUAPA
A new play in English by Caridad Svich
MARCH 21 to APRIL 13, 2013
Single-mom Roly lives in a dusty Texas border town that everyone longs to escape. She’s never seen anything like Guapa, a natural-born athlete with a fiery ambition to become an international soccer star. When Guapa joins Roly’s family, everyone’s life is turned upside down. With only one shot to reach the big leagues from the barrio, how can Guapa convince the non-believers to let go of their doubts, spread their wings and fly? This inspiring story will have you cheering in the aisles!
GUAPA
National New Play Network Rolling World Premiere
Una obra nueva de Caridad Svich
21 marzo – 13 abril de 2013
Roly, quien es mamá-soltera, vive en un pueblo polvoriento fronterizo de Texas del que todos sueñan con escapar. Nunca se ha topado con alguien como Guapa, una atleta natural con el fuego de la ambición y el deseo de convertirse en una estrella internacional de futbol. La vida de todos se vuelve bocabajo cuando Guapa se une a la familia de Roly. Con una sola oportunidad para llegar a las grandes ligas desde su barrio, ¿cómo podrá convencer Guapa a los que no creen a que dejen a un lado sus dudas, extiendan sus alas y empiecen a volar? ¡Esta historia inspiradora te mantendrá echando porras desde tu asiento!

actress needed for short comedy (portland)
we are looking for an fun loving actress 21-30 who can play in a silly role in our gross-out short comedy about the renaissance. The scene is pretty simple, our hero is trotting past an attractive girl wearing a corset who is squirming on the sidewalk. After suddenly sneezing her corset rips exposing she is pregnant and in labor. in attempt to help her give birth, she instead accidentally cracks a noisy flatulent!
Its a super stupid movie, but its going to be hilarious. All you need to do is act like a typical 1600 wench (accent if you can), and be able to rock a corset. If your pregnant already that is a bonus, but of course not needed.
if you are up for it, send us your resume and a headshot/bodyshot.
many thanks!

Actors for two short videos (Portland)
Looking for actors for two short videos about Portland and the two hostels here. In need of three guys and one woman. Need to be in your early 20s, comfortable being in front of the camera, and saying some short lines. Super great if you have an accent. We want you to look like you are a traveler staying at the hostel and out enjoying Portland. Travelers are coming from all over the world and we are looking for that kind of ethnicity. These videos are going to be fun and fast paced.
Will need a commitment for a day. Flexible with when this happens to accommodate the people we want to use. Done before the end of June. In return you will get the video, $50.00, and food along the way. I know, not much, but this is being done thru a small grant to help promote the hostels and hosteling in general.
If interested, please send a photo or two of yourself, contact info, and share where you are from if you like. Also send your availability in June.
This ad is being done by the videographer and not the hostels, so please do not contact them directly. I will be in touch with the people we feel will work best for the two videos.
Thank you,
Michael
