Extras needed ANIMAL PLANET Filming

[Forwarded from OCTA]

I work for a television production company in London called Oxford Scientific Films on a series for Animal Planet called ‘Fatal Attractions’. This series looks into a great range of stories surrounding people who keep unusual and sometimes exotic animals as pets but the focus of our particular episode is snakes and we are following the story of Katherine Cyrus who was attacked by her father’s pet python in Las Vegas.

We are carrying out interviews with the family in West Virginia where they now live but part of the programme also includes some drama reconstruction where we hope to film a number of different scenes in and around Cincinnati in order to tell our story.

I was wondering whether any of your members might be interested in finding out more about the project or willing to help out as extras/actors for the programme and if we could get any more information to them about the project? We are likely to be filming between 1st-4th July and are looking for a variety of ages/genders etc to film with.

It would be fantastic to hear your thoughts on the above and whether you feel you might be able to help out at all.

I look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Laura

MPI Announces Auditions for THE FOX ON THE FAIRWAY

Mariemont Players Announces Auditions For Ken Ludwig’s THE FOX ON THE FAIRWAY

Director Patrick Downey will hold auditions for the Mariemont Players production of THE FOX ON THE FAIRWAY, a comedy by Ken Ludwig, at the Walton Creek Theater, 4101 Walton Creek Road (just east of Mariemont) at 7:00pm on Friday, July 6th and at 2:00pm on Sunday, July 8th, 2012.

THE FOX ON THE FAIRWAY is a madcap comedy about love, life and man’s eternal love affair with golf from Ken Ludwig (Lend Me a Tenor, Crazy for You). Inspired by the English farces of the ’30s and ’40s, this fast-paced show is filled with mistaken identities, slamming doors and romantic hijinks, letting loose mayhem at a stuffy country club in the style of the Marx Brothers.

Cast requirements are: 2 women and 2 men playing age 30’s or 40’s and 1 man and 1 woman playing age 20’s.

Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script.

The production will be staged September 7th through September 23rd, 2012.

For more information or questions about auditions, contact the director at actone64@aol.com.
