Arizona Onstage Productions, recent producer of the musical ELEGIES - LOOKING UP, about which the Arizona Daily Star had to say:  "Director {Kevin} Johnson has fashioned a simple production... he wisely let the music and the singers say it all - and they did that with deep feelings and soaring voices.  It was enough to make you cry," and Tucson Weekly said "Arizona Onstage's ELEGIES...ultimately is a sincere and loving comfort." . . .
 
presents the Tucson premiere of Paul Bonin-Rodriguez's TALK OF THE TOWN.

               ZUZI’S THEATER, 738 NORTH 5TH AVE

CONTACT:  Kevin Johnson 270-3332 – KevinJ65@aol.com

 

FULL PRESS KIT AND STUDY GUIDE AVAILABLE

This highly acclaimed one-man tour-de-force written by Paul Bonin-Rodriguez tells the story of Johnny Hobson, a 15-year-old boy growing up in a small Texas town in the early 1990s.  Obsessed with Princess Diana, the Judds and working at the local Dairy Queen, Johnny discovers conflict with the community and family because he “runs like a girl.” 

Between cookin’ up Belt Busters and Christian Steak Finger Baskets and dealing with the pressures from the community, his discovery of sexual identity and orientation is explored in this funny, touching and timely show that is “fall out of your chair laughing, reaching for a Kleenex the next moment, documentation of life affirmation” – Austin Chronicle.  There’s never a dull moment in Cedar Springs, Texas, as Johnny experiences encounters with Ladybird Johnson and her C.I.A. agents, zealous preachers who try to “make him right,” school kids who taunt him for being a “sissy” and a set of ceramic head-bobbing poodles that help him find meaning to life as it is and the possibilities of change in the future . . .

Catalina Players will be holding open call auditions for their upcoming production of CLOSE TIES beginning on Wednesday, November 29th.


THE STORY: The scene is a country home in the Berkshire Mountains of New England, where three generations of the Whitaker/Frye family have gathered for the summer. Josephine Whitaker, the matriarch of the family, still bustles about energetically tending her garden and issuing orders to the others, even though she has long since given the house to her middle-aged daughter, Bess Frye, and her husband, Watson, who is now a senior partner in the law firm founded by his late father-in-law. Also present are the Frye children, three daughters and a teenaged son, and Ira Bienstock, the unlikely lover of one of the Frye daughters, who arrives uninvited but quickly ingratiates himself with Josephine and the others. While concerned with family ties, and the tensions, misunderstandings and good-natured bickering which arise from such closeness, the ultimate focus of the play is on Josephine, who is edging into senility and, in the family's view, must no longer be allowed to live alone. It is the resolution of this problem, which so many must face in today's world, that provides the very believable—and deeply moving—conclusion of this most human and genuinely affecting play

A warm-hearted, funny and eloquently written family drama which blends humor and compassion as it comes to grips with the problem of how best to provide for the family's aging, and perhaps senile, matriarch. Successfully produced by New Haven's celebrated Long Wharf Theatre. "…a witty and winning play…" —New Haven Register. "Not only is the dialogue believable, it is immensely energetic. The substance of the play is serious, yet marvelously funny touches give the characters individuality and depth." —The Bulletin. "…It's as fine a play as one is likely to encounter for quite some time." —Darien News.

 

Cast Breakdown:   (3 m & 5 w)

 

Josephine Whitaker:  A grand-dame of the old school, now 84 and widowed.  The force                          

                                     of her personality is undiminished.

 

Bess Whitaker Frye:  Her daughter, mother of four, in her early 50’s.

 

Watson Frye:              Bess’s husband, a senior partner in a distinguished law firm, 50’s.

 

Anna:                         Oldest of the four Frye children, age 30, married, has two

                                    daughters.

Evelyn:                       The second Frye daughter, 28, divorced.  A graduate student in

                                     history at Harvard.

 

Connie:                      The third Frye daughter, 23, a nursing student.

Thayer:                      The youngest child and only son, 16.

 

Ira Bienstock:            Evelyn’s friend, handsome, great physique, a graduate student in

                                    physics.

 

Audition Requirements:

 

  1. Please prepare a two-minute dramatic monologue.  There will be cold readings from the script.  The play is available thru Dramatists Play Service at www.dramatists.com
  2. Please submit a resume and headshot (if you have one).

 

 

Thank You

Tucson: Coyte Ramblers Free Reading of OLD TIMES by Harold Pinter

Subject: Coyte Ramblers Free Reading of OLD TIMES by Harold Pinter

~ COME ENJOY A FREE PLAY READING, FOOD and REFRESHMENTS, and MUSIC ~

Coyote Ramblers Performing Artists, and Artfare / The Muse, present

OLD TIMES by HAROLD PINTER

Directed by Ken Tesoriere

 for their Monthly Sunday Rehearsed FREE Reading Series on
 December 3, 2006, 2 pm

Harold Pinter won the Nobel Prize for Drama in 2005 for his life’s work in theater.  Old Times is considered by many critics and scholars alike, to be Pinter’s most vibrant theatrical drama.  An exploration of the fickleness of memory when two old friends meet again, and the husband of one, after 20 years.  They reminisce about - yes, old times.  Gradually they recall almost all things differently, and then, quite differently.  But are these varying memories faulted by time?  Or by differing perspectives then and now?  Or, are these different shades of memory within the same person?

As James Reel recently stated about the quality of work from Coyote Ramblers: “(Tucson) needs a troupe like this that fearlessly embraces uncertainty.”

Come join us for this free rehearsed reading by three of Tucson’s best actors on at 2pm, December 3, at 55 N. 6th Avenue (between Congress and Pennington), downtown Tucson.  Ample parking on the surrounding streets, or in the corner parking garage.  Refreshments and food provided, all free.  Call 682-3224 for information.

Date: 2006-11-25, 4:07PM MST


FEATURE FILM
New York based production company, Purple Crayon Films, is currently seeking crew members with production experience for Jackrabbit Sky, a feature 35mm period piece that will be shot entirely in Tucson.

AVAILABLE POSITIONS
- Assistant Camera Operator
- Gaffer / Grip
- Production Sound Mixer
- Stills Photographer
- Costume Supervisor
- Hair and Makeup specialist

Applicants must be available in January and February and located in the Tucson area. Although the production is fully professional, the budget is quite "independent" for a 35mm feature, so all cast and crew members will be working on a deferred payment basis.

Several industry professionals will be coming from around the country to participate on the project, just out of interest in the material. Also, many organizations such as Panavision, Kodak and the Federal Park Service are giving support to the production.

COMPENSATION:
- Credit in film.
- Deferred payment in the form of shares of a domestic theatrical distribution advance.
- Hands-on experience working with professional 35mm Panaflex equipment.
- Individual training that will be helpful in finding future work on large budget productions.
- Opportunity to work alongside seasoned professional filmmakers and accomplished actors.
- Chance to make an artistic contribution to a film about the history of Tucson.

Multi-Award winning musical theater company looking for a versatile costume designer who can work with a cast of 21 - most costumes will be provided by the cast as far as street clothes, but many will need to be pulled from thrift - and the seven guys who strip will need to have: Velcro pull-off policeman uniforms, as well as some pretty ridiculous looking thongs that are not too revealing - but silly.  The show is set in the late 1980's in Buffalo, New York. 
Most of these guys are not "hot" - "He's short, he's fat, he's bald, he's got pimples on his ass..." get the idea?  This is a full production.  The first non all-Equity cast in the United States...
 
The show is directed by Carol Calkins with music direction by Khris Dodge.
Lighting is by U of A Graduate Student, and current lighting designer Erik Michael from New York City.
 
There is pay, and the experience for resume that will include a large scale show on the main stage of The Temple of Music and Art.

Tucson: Casting Call " The Last Bodhisattva" (Feature Film)

Production: The Last Bodhisattva (Feature Film)
Employer: Sky Temple Pictures
Location: Tucson
Duration: Two Weeks Short Film Only, starts 1/1/07

Payment is on a lo/no/deferred basis.

Non-Union. Director: Sean D. Taylor. The Last Bodhisattva: The Story Of Ash
Written By Sean D. Taylor

Senior Government Officials and extras Ash holds the key to the survival of
what is left of humanity, she is in search of a Buddhist relic that had
rested within the Tang Dynasty for almost 300 years. It brought peace and
prosperity to the people of Zhou, the period was heralded as the 'Golden
Age' in China. The relic was lost for over a millennium, till some say
Hitler's expeditions to Tibet found the relic and brought it back to Germany
in 1934. The Americans are said to have found the relic during the fall of
Berlin and brought it to a secret military base in the Nevada desert. Ash
must recover the relic and bring compassion, wisdom, and peace to the
withered earth.

Tibetan Prophesy 800 Ad

At the end of this dreamtime, a time will come when all life on Earth is in
danger. In this era, great World powers will arise. These nations have spent
their precious resources and wealth in preparations for war, to annihilate
their enemies, these nations have much in common: weapons of unfathomable
destructive power, and biological technologies that will lay waste to our
world. In this era, when the whole future of sentient life hangs by the
frailest of threads, the kingdom of Shambhala begins to rise.
