Bag&Baggage Productions, a professional theatre company in Hillsboro, www.bagnbaggage.org, is pleased to announce auditions for an upcoming production: The Merry Wives of Windsor, or The Amorous Adventures of the Comical Knight Sir John Falstaff, adapted and directed by Scott Palmer. John Dennis (a relatively unknown playwright from the Restoration period) wrote his adaptation of Shakespeare’s Merry Wives in 1647...only one copy of the script still exists, and Bag&Baggage has found it! Artistic Director Scott Palmer has combined Shakespeare’s classic romantic romp with Dennis’ trimmed-down, fast paced adaptation, added a few of his own surprises, and created our very own world premiere: The Merry Wives of Windsor or the Amorous Adventures of the Comical Knight Sir John Falstaff!
We will be casting actors for the following roles:
Messr. Ford (age 35+, M)
Messr. Page (age 35+, M)

The Host (comedic, age 25+, M)
Dr. Caius (French accent, age 25+, M)
*The roles of Sir John Falstaff, Mistress Ford, Mistress Page, Mistress Quickly, and Fenton have been pre-cast.
DETAILS:
Actors will receive a $500 - $600 (depending on role) stipend after the close of the show.
Performance dates are: March 7 – 24, 2013. All performances will be at the Venetian Theatre in downtown Hillsboro. Rehearsals for this production begin January 19, 2013.
AUDITIONS:
Auditions will be held in Hillsboro Saturday January 5 (noon to 4pm), with the possibility of overflow and/or callbacks scheduled on Sunday January 6 (1:30pm to 5:00pm). We are not able to accommodate alternative audition times. To be considered for an audition slot, actors should have previous professional experience, have access to reliable transportation, and be available and willing to rehearse and perform in Hillsboro.

Actors selected for auditions will be contacted to arrange an audition time.

Sandy Actors Theatre
14733 Meinig Ave. (behind Ace Hardware)

The Mousetrap, by Agatha Christie

Directed by Doug Holtry
Synopsis:
At Monkswell Manor, the news on the radio reports a murder has recently taken place in London. Mollie and Giles Ralston, the young owners of the once-regal estate recently converted into a guesthouse, hardly notice the news. They are far too busy preparing for the arrival of their first guests and concerned the heavy snowfalls may prevent the guests reaching their destination. As the guests arrive safely and the Manor becomes snowed in, a policeman arrives on skis suspecting one of the seven occupants may be the killer. After a second murder occurs in the Manor, Sergeant Trotter is convinced.
Suspects include the young married couple, a spinster with a curious background, an architect who seems better equipped to be a chef, a retired army major, and an unexpected visitor who claims his car has run into a snowdrift. During his interrogation, Sergeant Trotter uncovers the many mysterious secrets of everyone present, as he tries to solve the murder in true Christie style.
All roles available

Casting Call for Short Film
Sway of the Knife, a short film by local writer/director, Vu Pham, is casting for the following roles:
Tommy: 25-30 years old, Caucasian, male, pudgy, greasy, carries an asshole streak with pride. Tommy is a hipster-bar owner whose main preoccupations are chasing tail, drinking, ingesting substances of every shape and size, preaching the opposite of what he does, and revering dead white men who were some how "legendary" for doing such things.
Eric: 30-40 years old, Caucasian, male, average build. Midwestern raised, latter Oregon transplant regular boozer at Tommy's bar. He's been single for four years but touts it as a badge of masculine honor as opposed to the painful affliction that it truly is. Stubborn, prideful, stupid at times, but ultimately loyal and just.
Brian: 30-40 years old, Caucasian, male, rugged good looks. Brian is an extremely funny and charismatic character whose gregarious and unassuming nature generally wins him friends from all walks of life. Enjoys football, beer, Bukowski, and 18-23 year old girls; loves his mother more than anything in the world and often writes poetry for her.
Bartender: 25-30 years old, African-American, male. One of the main bartenders at Tommy's Bar; has more attitude than he knows what to do with, rushes for no one, and loves disaster news.
Gallery Employee: 20-30 years old, Caucasian, male, average build. Jessica's coworker at a downtown art gallery. He is simultaneously secretly in love with Jessica and stricken by a sexual orientation crisis.
Alternative Gallery Employee: 20-30 year old, Caucasian, female. Jessica's best friend and coworker. She is smart, artistic, and very neurotic. Likes to observe people from afar and dissect them with her unforgiving critical acumen for entertainment but will never reveal her hand.

Titania - The beautiful queen of the fairies. Titania's brief, potion-induced love for Nick Bottom, whose head Puck has transformed into that of an ass, yields the play's foremost example of the contrast motif. Age: you never ask a lady her age; she's a timeless beauty. (30's-40s)

Actresses Wanted for short drama film (Portland)
I am currently a film student, doing independent film work in addition to school work as well, and am preparing to shoot a short film tentatively titled "Intersection", which follows a collection of female characters at different stages in their lives all approaching the same street intersection and whom are possibly on the verge of having a multi-car accident there. Each character has a legitimate reason for being distracted, which might make her responsible for an accident, and furthermore these characters are interconnected with one another. I am looking for actresses to fill in the roles of these various characters for which I have listed below. Each character has their own parts in the film, each of which will be approximately five minute segments.
CHARACTERS/SCENES:
ERIKA (20-30 years old) - a young woman working as a pizza delivery person who is caught up in the sluggishness of her life, which goes in conflict with her job which requires her to rush all around town making timely deliveries. As she reflects on her life, while in a rush, she is quite distracted.
NADINE (30-35 years old) - something of a "soccer mom" type character, who is very caught up in her busy life, which primarily focuses on her multiple children. Her greatest distraction is repeatedly having to check her cell phone, distracting her repeatedly.
GEENA (30-35 years old) - woman in a very unhappy and lifeless marriage of which she feels no happiness or spark from. Due to this she has to find her own ways to seek release in life. As she is out on a drive alone on a straightaway she tries to find some pleasure in speeding, which puts her in a dangerous place as she approaches the intersection.
ABBY & TORRY (both about 25 years old) - a young lesbian couple who have found themselves becoming listless together and are about to go out of town to try and spice up their rather young relationship. As they try and have a serious talk and connection they become distracted approaching the intersection.
CHELSEY (character is 16-17 years old, played by someone around 18-20 years of age) - a young driver on her way to a friends house after having a fight with her parents over the way she's been leading her young life. Distracted by inexperience and her exaggerated frustration at her parents.
LYNDSEY (20 years old) - An inexperienced driver without a license who borrows a friends car after another friend calls her with an emergency in which her help is needed. The simple fact that she is a poor driver, caught up in her friends recent emergency, makes her a liability out on the road.
LYDIA (20-25 years old) - has been in an abusive relationship for the past couple years and she has chosen this day to try and flee at all cost. She doesn't know until she's out on the road that her possessive boyfriend is aware of her efforts to try and get away.

Melodrama was a mainstay of early American theatre, dominating the American stage from 1850 until the early 1900s. These are stories of virtue, with good conquering evil and always leading to a happy ending. The action is characterized by over-the-top emotions and exaggerated characters. Crowds love to boo the Villain, cheer the Hero and Heroine, and laugh at the Fool. All these stock characters and more have been transplanted to the deep swamps of Louisiana for the show at Mask & Mirror.

Call for DirectorsPortland Actors Ensemble
2013 Shakespeare-in-the-Parks
Portland Actors Ensemble seeks directors for its summer 2013 Shakespeare-in-the-Parks season featuring "problem plays" The Merchant of Venice and Cymbeline. Directors are invited to submit proposals for one or both shows. The Merchant of Venice, our twilight show, is scheduled to begin rehearsals in early May, open mid-June, and run through late July. The touring production of Cymbeline is scheduled to begin rehearsals in late May or early June, open in late July and run through Labor Day.
PAE has been bringing free Shakespeare to Portland area audiences for over forty years. PAE is committed to providing financially-accessible classical theatre in a variety of locations. Our tradition is to embrace the natural beauty of the area, rather than to attempt to recreate an indoor production outside. Some performances will be ASL-interpreted and audio-described. Last season's Hamlet and Twelfth Night were among our most successful shows ever.
We are considering primary performance locations for Merchant, and potential directors are invited to propose an outdoor (or non-traditional theatre space) location in the Portland area. Previous Twilight Tragedy performances have occurred at Lovejoy Fountain, Cathedral Park, Lone Fir Cemetery, and at the top of Mount Tabor. The touring production of Cymbeline will visit a variety of parks and universities around the Portland area and Maryhill Museum in the gorge.
Directors will be paid $1,000. If you have not worked with, or seen a production by PAE before, please feel free to visit our website at www.portlandactors.org or reach us at portlandactors@gmail.com for more information about our company, mission, and tradition.
Below are some areas to cover in your proposal. Feel free to explore and expand, however be sure to cover at least these topics:
What will the rehearsal process be like? How long?
What are the dominant themes you are emphasizing? How will the controversial themes (if any) be addressed?
What is your approach to the text itself? What's staying, what's being moved or compressed and what's going away? Is there extra material you're bringing in? We don't need line-by-line, but more on a scenic level.
What's your casting approach (gender, age, etc)? Cast size? Doubling? Consolidating characters?
What sort of design elements (Costume/Set/Movement, et al.) do you imagine?
What's your preferred allocation of budget (this can be done in terms of % if you prefer)?
In what time period do you plan to place your play? Do you plan to do a "concept" show? If so, what is it?
Merchant-specific topics:
How would you deal with anti-Semitic themes?
Cymbeline-specific topics:
Twins? Complexity of story?
Please include a resume with your proposal.
Proposals should be submitted to portlandactors@gmail.com, or by postal mail to Portland Actors Ensemble, PO BOX 8671, Portland, OR 97207. Email submission is preferred.
The deadlines for proposals:
Merchant of Venice: January 6, 2013
Cymbeline: January 20, 2013
Good Will for all,
Michael Godsey

This is a no budget production with only minimal funds to pay for food, rentals, props, and permits.
Nobody is getting paid and everyone involved is doing this because they, like myself are artists and want more experience and footage for their reel.
What I can offer is that you are well fed, respected, credited, have a beautiful piece for your reel, multiple invitations to screenings, connections with those working in the industry and some great experience for your future career as a make up artist.
Of Course I will pay for all transportation costs and make up supplies.
Please feel free to view a trailer of my last film to see if this the kinda production you would like to participate in.
