Casting Call for Retro Radio Program

OPEN CASTING CALL

CASTING CALL FOR RETRO RADIO PROGRAM
Variety of roles to be filled

MISC_Casting callCINCINNATI—Local filmmaker Josh Flowers announced an open casting call for voice talent for a retro-style radio program to be held April 12 at the Cincinnati Public Library downtown.

Applicants are sought for the following roles:

  • Narrator: male, traditional announcer with deep, manly voice
  • Hero: male, classic mid-century radio superhero, lunkhead
  • Android: male, self-aware robot servant that is more human than our hero
  • Robot 1 & Robot 2: gender-neutral, robots

Voice actors may be hired for more than one role. The initial project will not be compensated and involves recording one episode of the series. If successful, there may be opportunities to perform roles on stage with compensation.

For more information or to schedule a time, please email Becky Haltermon at beckyhaltermon@gmail.com.

Casting Call Information

  • When: Saturday, April 12, 9 – 11 a.m.
    Please email Becky Haltermon at beckyhaltermon@gmail.com to schedule a specific appointment time.
  • Where: Meeting Room 3B, Cincinnati Public Library Main Branch, 800 Vine Street, Cincinnati, Ohio, 45202
  • WHO: Talented voice actors at least 18 years old. While the roles call for a retro, 1950s-era delivery, the script is humorous and would benefit from a reading that straddles the line between classic and modern.
  • PREPARATION: Voice actors will be provided with a short reading at the audition. It may be helpful to become familiar with 1940s and 1950s radio science fiction programs such as Dimension X, X Minus One, Suspense and Journey into Space. Voice actors are asked to bring a résumé, if they have one.

Panelists for the League of Cincinnati Theatres (LCT) have recognized the three actor ensemble of Playhouse’ in the Park’s A DELICATE SHIP, for their performances.

In A DELICATE SHIP, a haunting love triangle triggers an unexpected chain of events in this poetic world premiere play by playwright Anna Ziegler. In the early stages of a new relationship, Sarah and Sam are lovers happily discovering each other. Sarah and Nate know everything about each other, best of friends since childhood and maybe something more. But when Nate shows up unannounced on Sarah’s doorstep, she’s left questioning what and who she wants in this humorous and heartbreaking look at love, memory and the decisions that alter the course of our lives.

Panelists praised the ensemble performance of all three actors, Janie Brookshire, Ben Diskant, and Karl Miller as “sharp and connected…wonderfully acted.”

A DELICATE SHIP continues through April 20th. Tickets can be purchased at http://www.cincyplay.com.

League of Cincinnati Theatre panelists evaluate productions on a 5 star scale and recommend shows at either a 4 star or 5 star level. Nominations for LCT awards will be determined and announced at the end of the season and winners awarded at the annual LCT gala in the spring.

The League of Cincinnati Theatres was founded in 1999 to strengthen, nurture and promote Cincinnati’s theatre community. LCT provides its member companies and individual members with education, resources and services to enhance the quality and exposure of the theatre community in Cincinnati and increase community awareness, attendance and involvement.

CSC’s HENRY IV Earns 4 Star LCT Rating

Matt Johnson as Falstaff & Justin McCombs as Prince Hal.

Panelists for the League of Cincinnati Theatres (LCT) have recognized the Cincinnati Shakespeare Company’s production of the HENRY IV: Part 1 & 2 with a 4 Star Rating.

HENRY IV is Shakespeare’s classic history that mixes rebellion and treachery with the humorous coming of age of Prince Hal and his companion Falstaff. Panelists praised the production as “exuberant and boisterous…a really great ride!” “CSC drums up big attention with the play… I would highly recommend this production, especially for anyone who previously thought the History Plays were boring!” Brian Isaac Phillips was applauded for “flawless” direction, “maintaining order during the swiftly moving sequences.” Andrew Hungerford’s lighting was noteworthy, “heightening the drama and the mood scene by scene and keeping the audience focused and entranced”. Drew Fracher was also recognized for his effective fight choreography.

Panelists were impressed by the entire ensemble, who “sing and cavort and run the aisles and play with good energy and focus…I felt riveted.” Standouts included Matthew Lewis Johnson’s Falstaff and Justin McComb’s Prince Hal. “Their affection and sense of mischief was wonderful. McComb captured a Prince untethered, in the last throes of ribald chicanery…Johnson as Falstaff was delightful and fully flirtatious – waxing wordily as he justifies his lies and cowardice.”

Henry IV continues through April 91th. Tickets can be purchased at http://www.cincyshakes.com.
