Watch Harvey Keitel's FQ interview about Theater and New Orleans	[21 Apr 2006|10:20am]
[ **mood** | excited ] In this interview, Keitel talks about New Orleans' need to preserve its culture and move forward to rebuild its soul. He compares it to a Jewish town post-holocaust that's culture gradually died because of neglect. You can see the interview here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUyGHc8bTIsHe also endorses friend of twenty years, candidate, Roger Wilson, councilman-at-large, who has impressed the times picayune and gambit weekly with his ideas and outside the box thinking. He is a huge proponent of revitalizing the dilapidated areas of New Orleans while preserving their architecture. He also wrote, directed, and produced plays on Broadway and episodes of NYPD Blue and Deadwood, and is a HUGE proponent of building a viable THEATRE and FILM INDUSTRY in New Orleans, and having them inter-connect. Roger is running for one of the two council at large seats. So even if you already have someone you'd like to vote for, you can use your second vote for Roger.

cross-posted for a friend	[29 May 2005|11:43am]
I know this is a longshot, but honestly, the drive is only about an hour and a half from New Orleans in good traffic (I grew up in Gulfport), and my friend (tangyrine aka _mandarina REALLY needs to find someone for this:If anyone knows someone who can play the part of Tonny Gnosis in the Biloxi Little Theatre production of Hedwig and the Angry Inch - PLEASE call Lara at 228-369-8743, or 228-872-2489.This is what I need:A man between the age of 20 and 30 (but if they're younger and look like they are in their 20's that's good enough)They have no lines to memorize and very little blocking, but they will have lines to read from backstage, and I want them to be very familiar with the script.The big thing is, this character has a solo, a song called "Wicked Little Town", so I definately need a singer.This person needs to be attractive, and of a slender build.Our showdates are June 8, 9, 10 and 11 (with a special midnight show closing night).We have rehearsal every day between then and now except the Tuesday night before we open, and next Friday - but I can be flexible with the right person.Rehearsals are from 6:30 till 9:00.again _ PLEASE pass this along...I am getting a little bit desperate, and it critical I have someone in this role.Thanks!!!!

Auditions anyone???	[25 May 2005|02:42am]
[ **mood** | restless ] Does anyone know of any theatre or film auditions coming up anytime soon? Local film auditions are pretty easy to find as they come along - but I'm sure there are some that slip through all the networks lately... and theatre isn't even a part of that group.I miss theatre!! Any news anyone?Thanks!

Intern Company Auditions	[29 Apr 2005|06:04pm]
Auditions will be held tomorrow (Saturday, April 30) from 2 - 4 p.m. in Tulane’s McWilliams Hall for the Shakespeare Festival’s Intern Training Program. No appointment is necessary. Please prepare one or two Shakespeare monologues, comedic or dramatic, each no more than one to two minutes in length.The Intern Training Program offers actors and theatre artists (ages 15 and older) with some stage experience the opportunity to immerse themselves in a summer of professional theatrical production. The program, which runs June 7 - August 10, culminates in a production of Two Gentlemen of Verona, directed by Gary Rucker. Training experience received from the Intern Program contributes to a strong foundation, needed to enter the world of professional theatre. Previous members have frequently gone on to perform in our mainstage shows.If you are interested in the Intern Program but can not make it tomorrow, DON’T PANIC! You can still apply and we will arrange another audition time.Applications are also still being accepted for the Apprentice Training Program, which offers aspiring younger actors (ages 12 - 14) the opportunity to participate in a brief training session within a professional theatre environment. The class will focus on tools for acting Shakespeare, and culminates in a scene showcase on the last day. The three day workshop is from 1:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. on June 11, 18 and 25. Participation in the Apprentice Program is a wonderful way to prepare for later involvement in the Intern Program.For more information on either program, contact the operations director by e-mail at brad@tulane.edu or by phone at 504.865.5105 ext 7.
