Hi all! My name is Nickolas Montes and I am casting actors for My
Bittersweet Admiration with auditions on the weekend October 8th and 9th
from 12pm thru 5pm each day. The place of the open auditions will be at the
University of Arizona at the Harvill building room 208.

My Bittersweet Admiration explores a young man moving into a new stage of
his life, the "college years". He is an orphan and has been living in the
same foster home since he was 13. As a product of the "system" all Ronny can
do is bitterly cling to "hope" of a better life. Just before his departure
Ronny discovers a sense of belonging to something he had all but given up
on, family.

Characters:

Ronny- (18 years old)
Has been an orphan all his life. Has lived in three different foster homes.
He has been living with Amy for nearly 6 years and is now leaving for
college.
This character is of subtlety. Much of his emotion is internal. Ronny is a
compassionate character but, isn't above selfishness.

Amy- (middle aged)
Widowed and lonely. She is a loving mother figure that rules her humble
foster home by the book. Her duties to the teenagers come first.

Janet- (17 years old)
Has been living in foster care since she was 10. The product of a drug
addicted single parent family Janet still communicates with a mother whom
acts like a daughter. Janet is a very aware character. She has been living
with Ronny and Amy for nearly 5 years. Considers Ronny to be a big brother
but is actually his superior acting as his conscience at times.

Leo- (14 years old)
the newest edition to Amy's foster home having only been living there about
10 months. A child of an abusive family Leo has found peace within these
new walls especially being under the wing of role model Ronny.

Again I am casting actors for My Bittersweet Admiration with auditions on
the weekend October 8th and 9th from 12pm thru 5pm each day. The place of
the open auditions will be at the University of Arizona at the Harvill
building room 208.
