THE FOUR OF US

The Four of Us traces the fraught relationship between a young playwright named David and a young novelist named Benjamin. They meet at Musicians' Camp when they're 17, spend a few months together in Prague in their early 20s, and end up pursuing divergent destinies back in New York. What appears to be a simple "buddy story" turns into an Escher-like exploration of the relative value of fame and friendship.

Director Cynthia Meier says, "The Four of Us is a fascinating play both because of its simple truths and complex structure.  I am also delighted to be working with two absolutely wonderful young actors on what is the perfect script for them.  Our audience will be similarly charmed."

  • The Four of Us previews on Wednesday, June 16 and Thursday, June 17, 2010 at 7:30 P.M.
  • Opening Night is on Friday, June 18, 2010.
  • Regular performances of The Four of Us continue on Saturday, June 19 through Sunday, June 27, 2010.
  • Curtain times are Thursday through Saturday at 7:30 P.M. and Sundays at 2:00 P.M.
  • Musical pre-show starts at 7:15 P.M.
  • Tickets are $24 and can be purchased online at TheRogueTheatre.org or by calling 520-551-2053.
  • Wednesday, June 16 and Thursdays, June 17 and June 24 are pay-what-you-will performances. Reservations are encouraged.

Tucson: Arizona Onstage Productions looking for actors for an original reading...

 

From: kevinj65@aol.com [mailto:kevinj65@aol.com]
Sent: Monday, June 07, 2010 7:42 PM
Subject: Arizona Onstage Productions looking for actors for an original reading...

 


Arizona Onstage Productions is proud to sponsor the workshops of the play VILLAGERS - We are looking for reader/actors as well as audiences for this new text...


 

Wanted: actors for an informal audition to cast both a table and then staged reading of a new play. Villagers tells the story of the 1960s Greenwich Village art and music scene, focusing on Bob Dylan, Lenny Bruce, and Joan Baez, among others. It's a play about the collision of art, politics, and fame, and how a small group of young artists is affected.

 

Actors are needed for the following roles:

 

Bob Dylan: Early twenties as the play begins, Dylan arrives in the Village a shy, mumbling kid, and his progression towards becoming an unwilling cultural icon helps drive the play.

 

Phil Ochs: early twenties as the play begins, Phil Ochs was the consummate protest singer. To him, music was first and foremost a tool for delivering social change.

 

Liam Clancy: Mid-thirties as the play begins, Liam is a hard drinking, exceedingly Irish, Teddy bear of a folksinging man who forms close bonds with the rest of the cast.

 

Woody Guthrie: Not the flesh-and-blood Woody, but rather his spirit of sorts. He arrives in the Village confused and uncertain as to why he is there, but gradually forms a bond with Dylan as he struggles to come to grips with his situation. 

 

Jack Kerouac: Another spirit, and the third part of the show's "Greek chorus" along with Woody and Billie Holiday. Jack is in some ways the intellectual core of  the play—he is driven to discover why he and the other ghosts are there, and is often the one to deliver the most incisive commentary on the situation.

 

Several other small but important parts are also available.

 

The first table reading of Villagers will take place on June 19th at 2pm at the Cabaret Space, Temple of Music and Art, 330 S. Scott Ave.

 

A second staged reading will take place on August 15th at 7:30pm at the Cabaret Space, Temple of Music and Art, 330 S. Scott Ave.

 

Please email your resume and a cover letter to azonstage@yahoo.com. The informal auditions will consist of a cold reading and will be held at 405 N. Granada Ave., #6, on June 12th at noon, at 10 minute intervals.

We are looking for anyone with experience on crewing films willing to work on a major feature length romantic comedy to be shot at the Sheraton at 5151 east Grant road from mid June through most of July. This includes credits, meals, and deferred pay. The film will be distributed worldwide on DVD and in select theaters/TV/cable. This is an excellent opportunity to expand on your portfolios/reels, and we intend to keep reliable crew members on for future films slotted to be shot in Tucson. We have several documentaries and feature films planned for even more local filming in the upcoming months. 

We are also considering marketing/PR individuals eager to assist in that area as well. 

We also welcome website/graphic artists. We intend to give all applicants an opportunity for a credit on this film as we want to help you get established with the film industry. 

This would help establish you in a reliable and consistent film endeavor. We are not talking just one movie, but many. This really is looking a gift-horse in the mouth, and can get you many credits over the next few years. 

Take the opportunity now while Tucson is at its slowest economic growth and jump into a creative endeavor while the offer is available. Once these positions are filled, they will stay that way.

Tucson: Child Talent needed for Music Video

We need 15-20 actors ages 6-12 to play fun roles in a music video. We will be shooting three scenes: 

1. Classroom Scene. Actors needed: 15-20. Ages 6-12. We will be having a classroom full of children being taught at a local school on the south side. The children will eventually take control of the classroom. This scene will take place Saturday, June 12th, in the afternoon (exact times To Be Determined). 

2. Gymnasium Scene. Actors needed: 15-20. Ages 6-12. The children will be rioting against their teachers in what is assumed to be their school gymnasium, in actuality a small gymnasium on the U of A campus. This scene will take place Sunday, June 13th, in the morning starting around 8:00 a.m. (exact time To Be Determined). We would prefer actors who can make both Scenes One and Two. 

3. Birthday Party Scene. Actors needed: 1. Ages 6-12. Must be able to cry or at least throw a fit. A sad birthday party scene unfolds into madness when the Clown makes the birthday kid cry. This scene will take place Sunday, June 13th, in the afternoon at the U of A’s Student Union Ballroom (exact time To Be Determined). Scene Three is a separate storyline from Scenes One and Two. 

We are looking to have a diverse group of kids in our video. Currently, all of our kids are Hispanic, so we are looking primarily for Caucasian, Asian, and African-American kids. 

We are a group of mostly recent U of A graduates filming for a local musician, so unfortunately, we cannot offer financial compensation, but food and good times will be complimentary for actor and parent.

Subject: Announcement: Comedy Improvisation Course at The Studio for Actors

 


Comedy Improvisation - What a wonderful class to get you to think fast, think on your feet, loosen up your body, and how you move.  In this class, you're also taught dialects.  You don't have to be a "funny person" to do really well in this class, to have a fantastic time, and to learn a great deal.  Comedy improv isn’t half as hard as it looks when you learn it from a former Saturday Night Live cast member.  Anna gives you the keys: formats, dialects, and structure.  Come play, have a ball, and enjoy discovering how funny you can be.  Also, for acting students, studying comedy improv loosens up the body, helps you think fast on your feet, introduces dialects, and sharpens your timing.

4 consecutive Wednesday nights
6:30pm-8:00pm
Start on any Wednesday (but you must call first to sign up).
$35 per week
(If you have to miss one of them, you just pay for it and then take class 5 free.)

Performance Brief:

25 years of dance in Tucson. That fact in itself is amazing, knowing the volatile and changeable nature of the art form and these economic times. Nevertheless we have survived and are the first modern dance company in this part of Arizona to make it to the quarter century mark. To celebrate this milestone, the company has created a heartfelt evening of dance, aerial dance, music and performance art to be presented at the Stevie Eller Dance Theater on the University of Arizona campus. During its history, O-T-O Dance has created performances with hundreds of artists of various disciplines from many places on the planet. For this concert, we are working with a handful of long time, well known artists from Tucson and other regions as well as students who grew up studying dance through our school and now are young adult artists joined by dancers who have been performers with O-T-O Dance during these past 25 years

Tucson: Studio Connections presents: Sylvia by A.R. Gurney

Subject: Studio Connections presents: Sylvia by A.R. Gurney

 

Please join us at Studio Connections as we present:  
 
Sylvia, by A.R. Gurney; a modern romantic comedy about a marriage and a dog. 
 
Greg and Kate have moved to Manhattan after twenty-two years of child-raising in the suburbs. Greg brings home a dog he found in the park -- bearing only the name Sylvia on her name tag. A street-smart mixture of Lab and Poodle, Sylvia becomes a major bone of contention between husband and wife. She offers Greg an escape from the frustrations of his job and the unknowns of middle age. To Kate, Sylvia becomes a rival for affection. And Sylvia thinks Kate just doesn't understand the relationship between man and dog. Add the fact that Sylvia is played by a vivacious young woman and you view the relationship in a whole new way. *Contains mature language*
 
A.R. Gurney, author of The Dining Room and Love Letters, charms with his comedy, which has been a hit in the United States and internationally.
 

Directed by Maria Alburtus; Produced by Robert Encila for Studio Connections.
