WANTED: ACTORS FOR NEW RADIO DRAMA SERIES (VOLUNTEER)

WANTED: ACTORS FOR NEW RADIO DRAMA SERIES (VOLUNTEER)
CJSW 90.9FM is getting a new dramatic anthology series this fall! Entitled “Darkside Drive,” it is a 12 episode series of original material written by bestselling author Don Roff and produced by CJSW production volunteer Justin Guild.
The motivation behind “Darkside Drive” is to bring diversity to the spoken word programming at CJSW, while featuring local talent and promoting theatre in Calgary nationwide. Being an anthology series, it will feature an entirely new cast and situation in each episode to provide the audience with the widest possible range of local talent. Each episode (save one 2-hour holiday special episode) will be 30 minutes in length and produced at CJSW studios, Univeristy of Calgary. The show will be broadcast over air, in syndication nationwide, and published online.
Production will take place May, June, July, and August, a total of three shows a month. The first week of each month is audition week for the three programs produced in that month. When “Darkside Drive” goes on the air in Calgary this fall, each performer in addition to on-air credit will receive an on-air plug for current or upcoming performances they are participating in at the time of broadcast and a headshot for the accompanying episode page on the show website, not to mention having a national stage on which to perform.
May auditions will commence May 1st through 5th for final production dates of May 11, 18, and 24. One initial rehearsal session day, plus a technical rehearsal the day before production will be standard practice. Scheduling will be flexible when necessary. There are:
-No lines to memorize
-No costumes
-No sets
Auditions will take place at CJSW production and can be made by contacting:

Mini Photo Sessions


Hi there,


I'm an actor and photographer. I remember how much headshots cost when I was a student so I thought I should pass this onto to your students. I'm hosting mini photo sessions on May 1st at Montgomery community hall in the NW, they're $100 per session.

I was hoping you could pass this on if you think anyone would be interested.

Thanks.

Audition Notice: Torchlight Theatre

Torchlight Theatre is holding auditions for Kelly Rebar's Bordertown Cafe  Director by: Valerie Planche*

 Synopsis:
 "Seventeen-year-old Jimmy faces the archetypal Canadian dilemma: stay home in Canada, with all its obvious flaws, or go south (young man) to the Land of Opportunity. Jimmy's dad is the powerfully encoded Western hero of American popular myth - the cowboy as trucker, living his freedom and riding the roads of Wyoming. He offers Jimmy the prosperity of his new American home, a large modern house fully equipped with everything, including a capable new wife. In contrast, Jimmy's mom, Marlene, is a failed wife and a weak, ¬tentative mother. The home she has made for herself and her son on "the Canadian side of nowhere" is provisional and shabby: half finished, ill equipped, badly decorated.
What's a boy to do?"

 Character Breakdowns:

 Marlene - Already Cast.

 Jimmy - 17 year old son of Marlene.

 Maxine - (40-60)Marlene's overbearing, American mother.
 She also works in the diner.

 Jim - (50-60's)Marlene's tacturn father, farmer.

 Audition Dates: FRIDAY APRIL 15TH, 7PM-9PM. (Call backs Saturday April 16th between 1pm-3pm)  Please submit headshot, resume & desired role to be considered for an audition. chelsea@torchlighttheatre.ca

 Auditions, rehearsals and performances will be held at the Airdrie Victory Church _in Airdrie._

 Rehearsals Begin: May 16th. We will be undergoing an_ intensive rehearsal experience_, please click the link and review the rehearsal schedule before you request an audition.

 We are super excited to have guest Artist Valerie Planche* directing our show. Our hope is to create a unique opportunity for emerging artists to work with one of Alberta's top directors in an intensive environment!
