Seeking Talent for Training Video Production

MU_logoThe Scripps Gerontology Center at Miami U. in Oxford is filming two short training videos to be used with nursing home staff.  Both videos will be posted on web pages and probably YouTube.  We have a small budget to pay some actors and actresses a bit for their time.  We have scheduled filming the week of September 25 and may have a rehearsal time on the 24th.  One day that week will likely be plenty for filming depending on your character. Some of the actors are in only one video, others are in both. Some of the characters have already been created in a whiteboard video which is why are looking for particular types.

We’re looking for:

  • 2 men—–late 20s to 60s. One activity director, one nutritionist. Each role is very small.
  • African-American male.  Family member of nursing home resident in one video, nurse in the other.
  • African-American female.  Stage age 70-85 (nursing home resident age).  One video.
  • Asian female–late 20s to 60s.  Both videos.

Contact Jane Straker, Scripps Gerontology Center (strakejk@miamioh.edu or 513.529.5949) for more information or to apply.

A note or e-mail with a bit about your experience and a head shot would be helpful.

A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM
Cincinnati Shakespeare Company
Sept. 8-30
Over-the-Rhine

Directed by Brian Isaac Phillips

Cast: Geoffrey Warren Barnes II as Peaseblossom, Darnell Pierre Benjamin as Theseus, Kyle Brumley as Demetrius, Billy Chace as Snug, Sara Clark as Puck, Cary Davenport as Mustardseed, Giles Davies as Oberon, Jeremy Dubin as Francis Flute, Candice Handy as a fairy, Matthew Lewis Johnson as Nick Bottom, Sylvester Little, Jr as Philostrate/Cobweb, Courtney Lucien as Hermia, Justin McCombs as Robin Starveling, Miranda McGee as Titania, Caitlin McWethy as Helena, Kelly Mengelkoch as Quince, Barry Mulholland as Egeus, Maggie Lou Rader as HIppolyta, Paul Riopelle as Tom Snout, Tess Talbot as Moth & Crystian Wiltshire as Lysander

Hermia loves Lysander. Lysander loves Hermia. Demetrius loves Hermia. Helena loves Demetrius, and no one loves Helena. When this convoluted love quadrangle flees from prying parental eyes to the forest, they run straight into an ongoing bitter dispute between Oberon and Titania, the King and the Queen of the Fairies, and magical interference turns all their relationships topsy-turvy. Meanwhile, a troupe of enthusiastic but inept thespians likewise falls into magical mayhem as their leading man, Bottom, finds himself the butt of a fairy joke when the trickster Puck swaps his head for a donkey’s – an alteration that Titania finds a distinct improvement.
