Sierra Vista: Bridge "Commercial" Call for Actors/Extras

 

 

From: CHRIS HASNEY [mailto:bridgeteacher@msn.com]
Sent: Sunday, September 28, 2008 4:38 PM
Subject: Bridge "Commercial" Call for Actors/Extras

 

Hello,

 

We need actors and extras for six hours on Sunday, October 12, from noon to 6 pm at the campus of Cochise College in Sierra Vista, Arizona.  We are starting late to give everyone time to attend worship services, so once we begin we may be pushing you a bit in order to get everything in before dark. 

 

This is NOT a paid shoot, but if you need a speaking line to enhance your resume let me know and I'll work it in for you. 

 

There is no limit to the number of people, but we do have age bracket and look limitations.  We need fit looking men and women of all races who look like they belong in college.  I'm even ok with crutches or a motorized wheelchair provided that the person does not require assistance, is in the right age group, and looks otherwise fit.  We are looking for 18 (or 16 looking 18 with parent or guardian present please) up to grad student age 28 or so.  Mostly I want undergraduate age folks for the closeup and meaty speaking roles.

 

I don't want to see any tattoos, piercings except single earrings or studs for females, and no logos on clothing other than college logos (Bruins, Wildcats, U of A, Cochise College, etc.)  No tongue studs etc. if you want a speaking role.  No wild or weird clothing or hair, and no excess cleavage or skin tight clothing.  We are going for a wholesome look.

 

Bring what look like textbooks, backpacks, pens, tablets, notepads, binders, laptops, cell phones, Blackberrys, etc.  Keep track of your own stuff on the set.

 

Please eat before you arrive, but somewhere in the middle of the shoot we'll have pizza etc.  A lot of the filming will take place outside in the quad, so bring sunscreen and appropriate inclement weather gear if it looks like it might rain.  Please bring your own makeup, but do remember this is film not stage, so don't go nuts.  Restrooms will be available for your use.  If you have any special needs, medical needs (insulin?) please remember to bring what you need, including a cooler for any special beverage (NO ALCOHOL).  Cochise College is non-smoking facility, so leave your smokes in the car.  You'll have breaks long enough for a smoke in your car from time to time.  No smokeless tobacco please. Obviously, no drugs except for your prescriptions.

 

If any of you work in the restaurant business please bring aprons and chef's hat.

 

If you know how to play bridge or have played trick taking card games (spades, pinochle, etc.) and are available for this project please e-mail me about that and enclose a head shot if I don't have yours yet. 

 

All actors should bring head shots with name on it (can be a photocopy) for identification purposes for the screen credits.

 

Familiarize yourself with the game of bridge at http://www.youtube.com/user/7ntxx and look at the script and jokes files here: http://www.pipeline.com/~drmemory/Bridge_sides.zip.  The more jokes you know the better, but must be clean.  I apologize for the slightly blue humor in the Brini video but I wanted it for the production values and to show what a social bridge game looked like in the halcyon days of bridge.

 

Mr. Glines and Ms. Coyle, please note that you are welcome to invite students who fit the above description to join us.  Should be fun.

 

Assemble between Buildings 500 and 600  from 11:45 to noon

 

Chris Hasney

Producer/Assistant Director

Tucson: Desert Voices’ 20th anniversary season

-----Original Message-----
From: Kirsten Cummins [mailto:kirstenlynnmaria@yahoo.com]

Subject: Posting Request


Big Man, Big Voices, Big Name Guests! Desert Voices is 20!


"Big" is the colossal word describing Desert Voices' 20th anniversary season: a big man (we all know and have seen our director, Chris Tackett), leading big voices (we are over 50 voices strong this year), and starring big name guest entertainers (Lisa Otey, Diane Van Deurzen, and Namoli Brennet). Big are the performances we have planned for this, our Platinum Year.

We celebrate the opening of our 20th season with Down the Chimney: holiday favorites with a festive flair. Grace St. Paul's Episcopal Church (2331 E. Adams Street) is the spot for our first holiday show in three years. Join us on Saturday, December 6 at 7:30 p.m. or Sunday, December 7 at 3:00 p.m. and reminisce with us as we bring back some of the seasonal favorites from the past two decades; and share a special gift for our audiences – the debut of a new song written especially for our anniversary by Tucson's own rock star, Namoli Brennet!

What happens when Lisa Otey and Diane Van Deurzen join us in a show? Fun, frolic, and who-knows-what! In the Basement (February 7, 6:00 p.m., The Historic Y Hall) is the title of our annual Cabaret & Silent Auction event; and as last year, it will be a somewhat naughty evening. Featuring a thrilling piano solo by DV's accompanist Alex Tentser, complimentary hors d'hoeuvres and spirits, and hot auction action, 'BIG' may be just too small a word to describe the evening!

How could we bring the curtain down on this fabulous season without bringing back Namoli for Out and Proud – a celebration of the best of 20 glorious years. Add to that music from 25 years of GALA (the Gay and Lesbian Association of Choruses) and we have yet another BIG show. The Proscenium Theatre, Pima Community College West Campus, will be the venue for these two performances, Saturday, April 18, 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, April 19, 3:00 p.m.

In honor of our 20th anniversary, we have special rates of 2 tickets for $20 for December and April performances; so bring a family member, friend, or co-worker and take advantage of the special pricing. Cabaret tickets sold separately are $30 but with a season ticket package you save $10! Season tickets (all three shows) are 2 for $80, a savings of $40 – a big deal!

If you did not receive a season ticket letter in the mail last week, check our website at www.desertvoices.org and you can print out an order form. Or call the office at 520-791-9662.

The fun begins in December – don't miss it!

SAVAGE IN LIMBO

A Concert Play

By John Patrick Shanley

In a seedy neighborhood bar in the Bronx, a bartender with a wooden leg named Murk (Christopher Johnson) discovers that Monday nights are for the true-blue die-hard alcoholics. Enter the she-rhinoceros Denise Savage (Sarah MacMillan), a thirty-two year old virgin bound and determined to remedy the aforementioned by charging her way in between a pair of feuding lovers named Linda Rotunda (Tamora Sutton) and Tony Aronica (Bilal Mir). Linda wants something more from her relationships than the usual parade of illegitimate children, but Tony just wants to sleep with 'ugly girls' lately, of which Denise plans to count herself in the category of. Adding to the mix a failed-catholic-nun turned permanently-drunk girlfriend of the bartender, April White (Danielle Dryer) stumbles her way through what will undoubtedly be an unforgettable Monday night...  

 

Directed by Christopher Johnson.

 

Starring Sarah MacMillan, Bilal Mir, Tamora Sutton, Danielle Dryer and Christopher Johnson.

On the plus side is we are good people to work with, and you will be treated very well.

SPEND AN EVENING WITH THE LADY WITH ALL THE ANSWERS

ATC presents an intimate portrait of Ann Landers, the Queen of Advice

Arizona Theatre Company is pleased to welcome Tony-nominated actor and television personality Nancy Dussault as she brings to life the advice columnist Ann Landers, one of the most intriguing characters of the 20th century,. She was an iconic American figure who offered her expertise, advice and a shoulder to cry on to millions of  readers from 1955 until her death at 2002.  The Lady with All the Answers by David Rambo offers a unique chance to spend an evening with the Queen of Advice and to get to know the woman behind the persona. Directed by Samantha K. Wyer, The Lady with All the Answers plays in Tucson at the Temple of Music and Art from October 18 through November 8. It continues its run in Phoenix at the Herberger Theater Center from November 13 through November 30. Arizona Theatre Company’s season underwriters are I. Michael and Beth Kasser.

Dear Ann Landers..." For decades she allowed lovelorn teens, confused couples and everyone else in need of help to turn to her for advice. No topic was off-limits from love to death to how to properly hang a roll of toilet paper. Now, late on a 1975 night in Ann Landers’ Chicago apartment, an ironic twist of events confronts her with a looming deadline for a column dealing with a new kind of dilemma: her own. Based on real events and actual letters, The Lady with All the Answers spends an intimate evening with Ann as she shares secrets, personal revelations and some juicy tidbits from her multitude of readers as she wrestles with the most difficult column she has ever had to write. The L.A. Times called David Rambo’s play, “a smile-inducing, tear duct-activating reunion with a woman who might have been a stranger but seemed like family…engaging from beginning to end”.

Director Samantha Wyer affirms that “The Lady with All the Answers is a theatrical jewel. I couldn’t be more delighted to work on this play with the marvelous actress, Nancy Dussault. She has a vivacity and wit about her that are integral in creating this fascinating woman for the stage. By sharing in Ann Landers’ questions and confidences, we are transported back to her Lake Shore Drive apartment in Chicago in 1975 from which Ann eased the hearts and minds of millions of readers.”

DAVID RAMBO (Playwright) is also the author of God's Man in Texas, The Ice-Breaker, The Spin Cycle, and a new adaptation of Sinclair Lewis' Babbitt.  His plays have been widely produced throughout the country, including productions at Actors Theatre of Louisville, the Geffen Playhouse, The Old Globe, Denver Center Theatre Company, Alliance Theatre, Actors Theatre of Louisville, Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park, Repertory Theatre of St. Louis, Northlight Theatre, Magic Theatre, The Laguna Playhouse and Florida Stage. He has adapted several classic screenplays for live performance, including All About Eve, Casablanca, Mr. Smith Goes To Washington and Adam's Rib.
