BIG RIVER

Music by Roger Miller | Lyrics by Roger Miller | Book by William Hauptman | Adapted from the novel by Mark Twain

Twain’s timeless classic sweeps us down the mighty Mississippi as the irrepressible Huck Finn helps his friend Jim, a slave, escape to freedom at the mouth of the Ohio River. Their adventures along the way are hilarious, suspenseful and heartwarming, bringing to life your favorite characters from the novel-the Widow Douglas and her stern sister, Miss Watson; the uproarious King and Duke, who may or may not be as harmless as they seem; Huck’s partner in crime, Tom Sawyer, and their rowdy gang of pals; Huck’s drunken father, the sinister Pap Finn; the lovely Mary Jane Wilkes and her trusting family. Propelled by an award winning score from Roger Miller, the king of country music, this jaunty journey provides a brilliantly theatrical celebration of pure Americana. Matthew Wilson, Director/Choreographer

Actors and Extras Auditions for Feature Length Film THE LAST BATTLE

First time film producer/writer Douglas Palmer of Big Papa Film Productions will audition actors and extras for his feature length film THE LAST BATTLE on Saturday, August 4, 2012, 9:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., at the downtown Cincinnati public library (South building, third floor). The library is located on Vine Street, between Eighth and Ninth Streets.

Some roles have already been cast. Actors of all ages and ethnicities are welcome to audition.

The only “specific” looks are for the two actors who will play the young children (a boy and a girl) of the main character. They must look caucasian, appear to be between the ages of 11 and 13 and resemble (in some way) the petite, slightly-built blond actress who plays their mother and/or the 6-foot tall, sturdily-built, dark-haired actor who plays their father.

Please bring a headshot or a recent portrait photograph and an acting resume, if applicable. Actors will read from “sides”. “Sides” will not be available in advance. No prepared monologues are necessary.

Actors and extras in this film will be unpaid. They will receive film credit for their roles and will receive DVD copies of the finished film.

Some scenes in this story about a retired marine are expected to be filmed in the Greater Cincinnati area during the September-December 2012 period.

If you have questions about this audition, please call Doug Palmer’s assistant, Sheila Baker, at 513.607.1940.

Actors Needed for TDW’s SNOOPY

The Drama Workshop is having further auditions for the characters of Linus and Snoopy in SNOOPY! THE MUSICAL on Saturday, August 4 at 2pm at The Glenmore Playhouse.

Please bring 16 to 32 bars of music in the fun, up-tempo style of the show and be prepared to move.

The character of Snoopy must be a “song and dance man” as he has 4 major solos and many featured “bits” in the show. Linus has a major number revolving around the Pumpkin Patch and appears in many other numbers.

While singing is important, much more of the casting revolves around the actor’s ability to portray the big iconic characters we know and love.

Interested actors should contact Gretchen Gantner at GRoose1876@aol.com or 513.470.5516 for further info.

Production dates are October 5 – 21, 2012.
