Mythological Fanboy (or Fangirl)


IN SHORT
WHO: FEMALE ACTOR 18-24
         MALE ACTOR 18-24
WHAT: WEBSERIES
WHY: PRO BONO
WHEN: AUDITION 7TH FEBRUARY

Hi everyone,
WASTV’s latest webseries “Mythological Fanboy/Fangirl” is currently searching for one lead and one supporting role.

The series is a mock-vlog that follows the life of a Hercules fanboy/fangirl giving their own accounts of the 12 labours. Rants/skits about the labours are paired with rants/skits about some everyday occurrence in the fan’s life that reflect the ‘labour of the week’. Being a vlog, it’ll be dialogue driven, with several monologues, depending on the final script. The fanboy/girl will be onscreen for the entire series, and the ‘sane one’ will appear mid-season.

We have two characters that we’re auditioning for

1) The fanboy/girl.
a. Overly enthusiastic about Hercules; along the lines of Bieber Fever, possibly further into stalker territory.
b. Can be male or female
c. Around uni age (around 18- around 24)
d. Good knowledge of Greek mythology
e. Comedy improvisation skills desirable

2) The ‘sane one’
a. A foil to the fanperson. Tries to mediate the weirdness.
b. Male or female
c. Around uni age
d. Doesn’t need quite such good knowledge of the mythology

If you’re interested, email teik.guan@hotmail.com or reply this email and we’ll set up a personal audition (probably be Tues-Thurs next week)

            2 MALE ACTORS 17-45
WHAT: THEATRE PRODUCTION

WHY: PRO-BONO

Playwright:
David - Lindsay Abaire
Director:
Vanessa Jensen

Auditions Saturday 9th February, 2pm, Melville Theatre Company

Rabbit Hole is a simple and touching story dealing with the worst of all situations; the loss of a child. But it is not overly morbid or depressing.  It is sad, yes, very sad but it also has humour and, I believe, a sense of hope.  Danny was four when he died, prior to the starting point of the story, and how his mother, father, aunt, grandmother and the young driver of the car deal with their grief and the effects it has on their lives and relationships, forms the story. It is honest, raw at times and very beautiful.
Rabbit Hole is a Pulitzer Prize winning drama with five characters.

Becca – late thirties/early forties.  Danny’s mother.
Howie - late thirties/early forties.  Danny’s father.
Izzy – mid thirties. Becca’s sister.
Nat – mid sixties. Becca’s mother.
Jason – seventeen, driver of the car that hit Danny.

The play is set in contemporary Larchmont, New York. 
If all five actors can do convincing accents, then it will be played with accents. If they can’t, then it will be played in natural voices.
Accents are not necessary for the audition.

The audition will consist of readings from the script, and possibly some improvisation.
Preparation for the audition should consist of reading the script, but not watching the film!

Full commitment to the entire rehearsal period is expected.
Rehearsals will start the week after auditions. Three rehearsals a week (possibly less for Jason) probably Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday but days are to be decided after casting.
There will be no rehearsal on the Sunday of the March long weekend.
Please note, there is a performance scheduled on Anzac Day.

Email the director, Vanessa, at vandlars@hotmail.com.au
 to register interest and receive the link to the script.
