UNDER A RED MOON runs Oct. 18-27

UNDER A RED MOON
Presented by Human Race Theatre Company
Oct. 18-27
Dayton

Reviews: Dayton City Paper | Dayton Most Metro |

Directed by Margarett Perry

Cast: Daniel C. Britt as Ralph Gow, Bradford Cover as John George Haigh & Dee Pelletier as Dr. Ruth Covington

Witness a chilling psychological thriller inspired by the true events of Britain’s notorious 1949 “Acid Bath Murderer.” Confessed serial killer John George Haigh awaits trial in prison as Dr. Ruth Covington arrives to determine his mental state for the court. While he welcomes their one-on-one encounter, Haigh won’t give up his secrets too easily, knowing full well that it’s the hangman’s noose if he is found sane. This World Premiere co-production with the Carnegie Visual and Performing Arts Center is a tightly-wound cat-and-mouse game to define the meaning of good and evil.

OVER THE RIVER AND THROUGH THE WOODS runs Oct. 17-21

OVER THE RIVER AND THROUGH THE WOODS
Presented by Mad Anthony Theatre Company
Oct. 17-21
Hamilton

Love of family is the mantra that runs throughout this endearingly warm-hearted comedy. At the heart of the plot is a tight-knit Italian-American family. Nick is a marketing executive who dutifully visits his four grandparents every Sunday for dinners which are governed by “the three F’s”—family, faith, and food. One Sunday he has an exciting, though devastating announcement: He’s being promoted to a new position in Seattle. As Nick is their only relative left in the area, the prospect of losing him calls for some heavy Golden-Ager artillery.

  • Wed-Sat, Oct. 17-20 at 8pm (Wed & Thu, all seats $10)

Casting Call for Lead Roles in Independent Film on Sept. 23 & 26

Five Minutes Late Productions announces auditions for three lead roles in a feature-length, independent film: TWINK_S (a comedy).

Sunday, Sept. 23 and Wednesday, Sept. 26, 7-9 pm
8 N. Ft. Thomas Ave., Fort Thomas, KY 41075

Available roles, offered on a deferred-compensation basis:

  • KEVIN — M, late 20s. An underachieving entrepreneur, perpetually searching for his ‘big break.’ Grounded and intense at times, he is nevertheless playful and generally patient. His inventor’s spirit is more a defense mechanism than any real direction. Athletic build a plus.
  • GRANT — M, late 20s. Kevin’s friend. One of the world’s innocents. Often single-minded or hyper focused on things that seem trivial to others, he is enthusiastic about life if also a tad oblivious. Prone to daydreaming.
  • BEATRICE JANE (BJ). F, late 20s. Grant’s love interest. The bartender/owner. Tough exterior; strong and capable, but not invulnerable. A somewhat reluctant owner, she inherited the bar from her father. Must play against character type in Grant’s dream sequences.

Bring resume, headshot and schedule limitations from Nov. 2-Dec. 2.
Cold readings from the script (no prepared monologues).
Shooting will begin in November.

NOTE: In addition to the roles listed above, we will also need to fill a few small roles and support positions on a volunteer basis. Extras will also be needed.

If you have questions or are interested in getting involved, please contact the director, Ron McDermott, rm@esatti.net.
