Casting Call for Film CANDLES TO GUNFIRE

MISC_Casting call2To whom it may concern:

The film is the story of the 1989 revolution in Romania.  Specifically, the man who lit candles in front of the pastor’s house before the pastor was taken into exile.

I am looking for actors who are willing to play religious characters.  The film can loosely be considered a musical, however, a dancing ability is not required.  If you would like to play one of the two lead roles, you must be willing to learn to waltz. I will also request that you record yourself singing “I Love You Lord” (artist: Latria). Due to the region in which the story takes place, an eastern European accent (NOT BRITISH) is preferred, however, please don’t try it with an English accent.  If you are unable to use an eastern European accent, your native accent will work just fine.

With that, I would like to see you act out a scene in some kind of character or a segment of a show you’ve been in.  I suspect that no shows have the song I want in them, so you may need to record that in front of a camera.

The quality of the camera doesn’t matter as long as I can tell that it’s you and not someone else making the sound. Your phone will work just fine.

Unfortunately, as this is a low budget film, I will not be able to pay actors much.  If at all.  The release is set for Christmas of 2019 with the premier (for the cast, crew, and their families) being on the 23rd of December, 2019.

If you are interested, please Email me any questions or your audition tape at b2feezle@gmail.com.  I will not be holding any sort of open auditions as I find those to be misleading as to the extent of an actors skill on camera.

RAIN: A Tribute to The Beatles | Tue., Feb. 27 | Cincinnati Music Hall

CAA_Rain Sgt Pepper logoCINCINNATI, OH – RAIN:  A Tribute to The Beatles returns for a record-breaking eighth CAA Presents engagement, and its first time at Cincinnati Music Hall, on Tuesday, February 27 at 7:30 PM as part of CincinnatiArts Association’s 2017-18 Season.

Together longer than The Beatles, RAIN has mastered every song, gesture and nuance of the legendary foursome, delivering a totally live, note-for-note performance that’s as infectious as it is transporting. Let RAIN take you back with all of the songs from Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band along with all of your other Beatles favorites such as “I Want to Hold Your Hand,” “Hard Day’s Night,” “Let It Be,” “Come Together,” “Hey Jude” and more!

Set in a small Texas town in anytime, U.S.A., Daddy’s Dyin’ concerns the reunion of a family gathered to await the imminent death of their patriarch, who has recently suffered a physically, as well as mentally, disabling stroke. In essence, however, it is not the story of the impending demise of the father or the drafting of his will, but of a rebirth of the spirit of the family unit.

BE HERE NOW
Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park
Feb. 9-March 11
Shelterhouse Theater [Eden Park]

Directed by Portia Krieger

Two lost souls come together under most unusual circumstances in this deeply insightful and charmingly funny world premiere. Surrounded by painfully cheerful co-workers, Bari is deeply cynical and woefully underemployed working at a small-town fulfillment center. After an unexpected and unexplainable turn of events, Bari finds herself on an enlightening new path. When she meets Mike, a man who makes art out of garbage, it’s Bari’s turn to pull another out of the darkness. Be Here Now asks what we are willing to do for love and happiness and to create meaning in our lives. Advisory: Appropriate for adults and older teenage audiences. This searching story about existential happiness contains adult language, sexual content and other mature themes that are handled with both humor and honesty.

InBocca Performance Brings A DREAM WITHIN A DREAM to the Woodward Theatre

InBocca Performance is pleased to announce the winter theatre production of A DREAM WITHIN A DREAM, an exploration of the mysterious death of Edgar Allan Poe involving dance, original songs, and a script built largely from Poe’s stories and poems. The famed writer was due to be wed to his childhood sweetheart upon his return from a business trip to Philadelphia—but then he vanished. Poe was missing for five days before being discovered on the verge of death in Baltimore. What horrors and wonders did he experience in that time? Join Poe on a journey fantastic and strange as he navigates the world between life and death—the world of dreams, within dreams, within dreams…

A DREAM WITHIN A DREAM will run Saturday, January 20th through Tuesday, January 23rd. All performances are at 8 P.M. at Woodward Theatre (1404 Main Street, Cincinnati, OH 45202).

Tickets are $15, and the show is appropriate for most ages. To order tickets, please visit inboccaperformance.com or www.cincyticket.com/adreamwithinadream

InBocca Performance utilizes experimental theatre methods to create devised works, which build actors’ craft and produce a unique experience for the audience. Actors construct their own scenes, choreograph dance segments, and work with diverse musical genres, all under general direction from producer Caroline Stine and director Mandie Reiber.

History of the Company
InBocca Performance humbly began as the Cliffview Players in a basement in 1997 and became a main stage company in 2008. Notable past performances for the Ft. Thomas Community Theatre were Peter Pan in 2008 and Into the Woods in 2010. Artistic Director Caroline Stine began working with young actors to devise theatrical pieces in the summer of 2011 at The Village Players in Ft. Thomas, KY. In 2012, they created The Maid of Orleans, an emotionally charged production about Joan of Arc.

The next year, they created Romeo y Margarita, a story that combined the lyricism of Shakespearean verse with the romance of the Spanish language. They then expanded to create art within greater Cincinnati, including a sellout production of Swan Lake: A Waking Dream at the Southgate House Revival in 2015, followed by My Twisted Face at Cincinnati Fringe Festival.

In 2016, InBocca performed at Cincy Fringe again with Charlie’s Girls, which built a script almost entirely from testimonies from the trials of the Charles Manson murders.

In 2017, InBocca created ALICE, a dance/theatre sequel to Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland set in a Victorian asylym and staged at the Mockbee.

Ms. Caroline Stine received her Bachelor degree from Butler University and her Masters in Contemporary Performance from Naropa University in Boulder, CO. She received theatrical training in Italy and Russia and participated in the Crisis Arts Festival in Arezzo, Italy. She is currently teaching at Northern Kentucky University and Notre Dame Academy.
