Audition Notice

	Auditions for Jaan from Scorpio Theatre

While the cast and crew of The Laws of Thermodynamics take a well-earned break, we're excited to announce auditions for our 18th season opener, Jaan!

Dr. Bennett's career is one dotted with disappointment, failure, and ridicule. But the shocking discovery of a living specimen of the legendary "mermaids of Lake Minnewanka" is certain to turn that career, and the entire scientific community, upside down. But as we witness the journey that led to the discovery, study, and the shocking revelation to the scientific world, we learn that lines drawn between science and ambition are as deep and dark as the waters of Lake Minnewanka itself. Chelsea Fawcett's "Jaan", directed by Dan Gibbins, is certain to tease, taunt, and entertain while leaving you desperate for answers that may never come.

Roles Available:
Dr. Bennett (30s-40s, M or F): Fringe ichthyologist, believes s/he has made a discovery of profound importance, and is driven to validate a lifetime of belief.

Dr. Vaideswaran (late 20s-40s, M or F): South Asian descent. Dr. Bennett's lover and key ally with the Royal Society, s/he is both intensely curious about Dr. Bennett's discovery, and concerned to be kept at a distance from it.

Dr. Yuen (30s-60s, M of F): East Asian descent. Dr. Bennett's harshest critic, staunchly opposed to even hearing him/her out over the discovery.

Dr. Gagné (30s-60s, M or F): Head of the Board of the Royal Society of Canada, and has agreed, slightly reluctantly, to hear what Dr. Bennett has to say.

Reporter (20s-early 30s, M): Sent to cover Dr. Bennett's story, but not taking it particularly seriously.

Dr. Vorontsov/Jaan (20s+, F): Role shared. Dr. Vorontsov is a part of the Board of the Royal Society of Canada, representing on behalf of human physiology. Jaan is a consistent presence, hinted at rather than fully seen.

Actor Volunteer Opportunity at Make A Wish Foundation

Actor Volunteer Opportunity at Make A Wish Foundation!

Vickie Sauve is the Wish Granting Coordinator for Make-A-Wish Southern Alberta. 

On the afternoon of June 25, the Make A Wish Foundation will be granting a wish for a 15 year old girl who wants to have a large Hollywood-style party.  Part of her wish experience is to walk a red carpet where paparazzi and reporters will take her photo and pull her aside for questions. 

The Foundation are looking for volunteer actors who would like to play the part of paparazzi and reporters. They also have a need for people to perform the parts of certain celebrities that the wish child would like to meet at her party, and if anyone wants to do so, I would be more than happy to have them participate in the wish.

If you would like to participate, please contact Vickie Sauve at the contact information below.
