Please contact George Contini if you are interested in any of these positions at gcontini@uga.edu Style/Production Needs This is a time bending romance. The style is light, quick, and quirky. Please note - it’s an extreme comic romance, all actors will be required to engage in stage violence and stage intimacy. All characters passionately kiss at least once, others are more physically intimate. Violence and intimacy will be staged by a violence/intimacy director. This is a Studio Production which are, by their nature, very ensemble driven. Cast members may be asked to supply costumes, props to the production. A perusal copy of the script is available in the office. Callbacks will consist of a group exercise involving all people called back, followed by scene readings from the following scenes: Jack and Avery - Pg 83-85 Linda, Jack, Avery - Pg 90-92 Toby and Ben - Pg 98-99 Ben and May - Pg 101-103 Bale and Max Pg 114-116 Essa and Cliff Pg 122-123 Jane and Dan Pg 133-135 Character Breakdown Avery: a new wife, upbeat, but unsure she’s made the right decision & anxious about what’s been left behind Jack: a new husband, cocky, fun, impetuous, not very serious, and definitely the captain of his own ship Ben: a man, faithful and romantic, fighting both a losing battle to save his marriage and a looming loneliness May: a woman, Ben’s wife, a bit ferocious, completely done with the past and ready for something new Toby: a man, May’s new fling, takes things as they come and has a no nonsense, no regrets approach to love, has an “exotic” air about him--Eastern European accent? Jamaican? Linda: a woman, a crack concierge, goes above and beyond, she always brings the champagne, she’s seen some shit, she sings opera quite well, needs to sing Dido’s Lament from Dido and Aeneas Bale: a man, nomadic, a “carnie,” but the fun kind of carnie, a touch of mystical wisdom; he’s not creepy, Australian dialect, plays a string instrument—ukelele? Guitar? Mandolin? Max: a man, a pretty down to earth guy just trying to get over his failures. By burning everything down. Cliff: a man, not easily taken in by con artists, not really looking for answers - but they’re looking for him Essa: a woman, a fortuneteller, well... the niece of a fortuneteller who may or may not be for real Dan: a man, a guy’s guy, a real daredevil; that’s his profession, he performs daredevil stunts for a living , American Southern dialect Jane: a woman, an amnesiac, Jane Doe, starting fresh with wide eyes, she might have survived the unthinkable NOTE: "The Foley Ensemble" (comprised of Bale, Max, Cliff, Essa, Jane, Dan) remains seated on stage for the entire first act. They provide all sound effects and music cues live during performance. No instruments; all vocals and percussion. Looking for actors who can harmonize and sing a capella, simulate musical instruments, do vocal sound fx. I will also be casting One Male and One Female Understudy.
