AUDITION for The Tooth of Crime

The Tooth of Crime by Sam Shepard

S&B's first show of the '10-'11 season

HEY, ROCK STARS AND WANNABES!

GET YOUR SEMESTER OFF TO A VERY FAST START!

Auditions are coming up next week--faster than Mojo Root Force. Make no mistake about it, this Fall 2010 S&B show is going to kick some @&&. Set in an uncertain future when rock stars rule the country and battle to the finish for fame and territory, this CRAZY rock ‘n roll play by American legend Sam Shepard will rock you, sock you, knock you out and leave you for DEAD. Sex, Drugs, Rock ‘n Roll by the baddest angel of them all.

Auditions are:

Thursday, April 29th from 7:00-10:30
Friday, April 30th from 2:00-5:00 with callbacks on Friday night

IMPORTANT NOTES:

Show up early for the best chance to cop an immortal shot. Come back on Friday if there’s time. No gratuitous nudity. Lotsa Rock ‘n Roll.

Nothing to prepare, but please try to read the play if you can. Copies in the Becker Library in Lyman Hall.

All parts, with the exception of Hoss (male) and Becky Lou (female), may be cast as either gender, but once cast, women will play women, men will play men! Only the pronouns will be changed as necessary. The Tooth of Crime will be cast without regard to ethnicity.

We’ll come back early to begin all day rehearsals on August 23rd. We have to get off the mark FAST on this one! A full week of 8-hour rehearsal days before classes start will get us to the September 23 Opening. We’ll close on October 3rd.

Also lookin’ for great rock and R&B musicians or bands AND serious dramaturg/AD interest.

THE COOK

by Eduardo Machado, directed by Kym Moore

Apr 8-11 and 15-18 in Leeds Theatre

8PM Thurs-Sat, 2PM Sun

Brown students, check your mailboxes for a $2-off coupon and bring it to the Box Office in Leeds breezeway to get your discounted ticket for the show. Freshmen get in FREE this Thursday!

Also this Thursday: look out for our Box Office on the (Main) Green where you can purchase your ticket and get some free Cuban coffee.

Keep watching this space for more info about talkbacks, related presentations and performances!

The Cook explores the personal, social and political cost of "Revolution." It is a social realist play that brings to mind Hansberry's A Raisin in the Sun. We observe the relationship of Gladys and Carlos over forty years beginning on the eve of Castro's rise to power in 1959. The rise and fall of Castro's regime is reflected in the character's relationships, making it a truly human story.

What happens to the dream once the dreamer is awakened? She goes to "work" in an attempt to reconstruct that which has almost been destroyed: the human spirit.

Please join us for this beautiful tale of struggle, love, family and survival.

Ivy Film Festival - Screenplay Readers Required!

The Ivy Film Festival is looking for Brown actors and actresses to read excerpts of winning student scripts at the 2010 Screenplay Brunch. The event will be held on the final day of the festival (Sunday, April 18th), and is the only opportunity that screenwriters have to showcase their work at the festival, so we're asking for your help in order to make the scripts sound as good as possible.

Volunteers will get free food at the brunch, as well as drink tickets at our after party, and tickets to one of our larger events (the schedule has not yet been finalized, but once it has been, the event is negotiable).

Anyone who is interested should email Lisa Weisdorf at iffscreenplay@gmail.com.

Thanks in advance!
