As many of you know, David Garrison Productions started working on a new feature project benefiting the American Cancer Society. The production (THE LAST RACE) has grown into next year, beyond when many of our current cast and crew have been able to commit.

As production of THE LAST RACE has been extended into 2012, we are holding a new round of cast and crew auditions SAT., AUG 6TH, BLUE ASH LIBRARY, 4911 COOPER RD., BLUE ASH, OH 45242 10AM-4PM

Don’t think of this as just another no pay movie. Rather think of it as a Habitat for Humanity style project with storytelling instead of carpentry skills.

I encourage everyone to consider signing on for a new adventure in making movies to fight cancer.

Also, if you have friends who might want to volunteer, please pass the word on to them.

We have plenty of roles, both in front and behind the camera to fill, a lot of hard work to be done, and adventures to be had!

Questions? davidgpro@gmail.com, or call me at 513-582-2827.

Thanks!

MOTORMOUTH MAYBELLE – The big, brassy, all-embracing black radio DJ and once-a-month guest host on Corny’s tv show; she wears blonde wigs as her trademark.  Approaching forty years old, she is a strong r & b / gospel singer. (Role played by Queen Latifah in the film version.)

LITTLE INEZ – Motormouth’s daughter, age 10 to 12. She’s cute but angry, impatient for the promised land of actual civil rights. Strong dancer.

Auditions for these roles will be held on Monday, August 1, beginning at 7:00 p.m. at the Clifton United Methodist Church, 3416 Clifton Avenue, just north of the intersection of Clifton and Ludlow.

A basic dance audition will be a part of the audition. Please wear shoes and clothing appropriate for a dance audition.

HAIRSPRAY: The Broadway Musical welcomes audiences to Baltimore in the 60’s, where the 50’s are out and change is in the air.  Loveable plus-size heroine, Tracy Turnblad, has a passion for dancing, and wins a spot on the local TV dance program, “The Corny Collins Show.” When her dream comes true, she finds herself transformed from outsider to teen celebrity. Now this larger-than-life adolescent must use her newfound power  to vanquish the program’s reigning princess, integrate Corny’s television show, and find true love  -all while singing and dancing and without denting her ‘do.  A complete synopsis is available at www.cincinnatimusictheatre.org

This production is being produced by Kathy Beiting and directed by Skip Fenker, with musical direction by Kendra Struthers and choreography by Brian Anderson. Rehearsals for this production will begin in late August, 2011 with performances beginning November 4 and running through November 12 at the Jarson-Kaplan Theater, Aronoff Center
