We hope to see you all there!! 🙂 ❤
GRACE'S "THE BLUE MARTINI"
"Hey all!! This fall in the Phoenix I will be directing ‘The Blue Martini’. This is an unpublished play written by an alumni of UNC Greensboro, Micheal Ferrel. This will be only the second time this script has been produced! How exciting!
Overall, the play is about love and friendship. It's somewhat of a romantic comedy that centers on two best friends and a sleazy bartender who inadvertently forces them to face the harsh truths they've been avoiding.
Rehearsals will begin next Monday or Tuesday and the show itself will be performed Saturday, September 30th at 1:00pm and Sunday, October 1st at 7:00pm in the Phoenix. The two female roles are filled, but I am still seeking 3 actors as follows:
Jack(M)- A bartender, likable ass hole. His charm smooths over his blunders… most of the time.
Martin(M)- Renee’s boyfriend of 4 years. Loves video games. Isn’t the most observant. Quick to anger.
Quentin(M/NB)- gay, introspective, current job is selling di**os to sad housewives
Auditions will be 11-12pm in the Phoenix this Saturday (September 2nd). This audition will only consist of cold reads, so you won’t need to prepare a piece. Please do arrive on time! I will allow everyone to pick up whichever side they’d like to present and we will go from there.
I am also seeking some technical help! If you are interested in designing minimally, please fill out this form: https://forms.gle/eNTLTxPjPNsWiYhKA (https://forms.gle/eNTLTxPjPNsWiYhKA)
So so excited to see all of your faces Saturday!"
HANNAH'S "FEMINIST(ish)"
"Hello everyone!!
This semester, I am doing an independent study that will be a collection of three self-written and self-directed one acts, all revolving around themes of misogyny. Rehearsals will begin next week, and performances will be Saturday, September 30th @ 7:30pm and Sunday, October 1st @ 1pm. I will be creating a rehearsal schedule according to my cast's availability, but my intent is to hold rehearsals during the daytime. This would mean that if you are cast in Mauritius or Carrie, you would still be able to be a part of this production!!
I am seeking nine actors for this production. None of the roles are precast.
I'M HERE FOR YOU
MAN (M) - College student. Somewhat cocky. Thinks he's doing something right.
WOMAN (F/NB) - College student. Hard-working. Polite.
GIRLBOSS
GIRLBOSS/SAM (F) - Mid to late 20s. Content creator with a large following. Big personality.
SARAH (F/NB) - Early to mid 20s. New production assistant. Somewhat smaller personality.
DAVE (M) - 30s-40s. Manager and producer. "Cool guy."
GUYS NIGHT
JOSEPH, BILLY, & BROCK (M) - Early to mid 20s. All of them identify as liberal. All of them are bros.
MEL (F/NB) - Early to mid 20s. Brock's girlfriend. Speaks her mind.
Auditions will be held from 12-2pm in the Phoenix. If you plan to audition, please bring/send me a copy of your class schedule prior to the audition. Otherwise, auditions will solely consist of cold reads of samples from the scripts, so you do not need to come with anything prepared! If you would like to see the samples in advance, feel free to reach out to me directly at [email protected] (mailto:[email protected]) and I'd be happy to send them your way. I will have copies for everyone printed at auditions.
I'm so excited for this project, and hope to see you all there!! Feel free to reach out with any questions you might have! ❤"
