Getting Away With Murder: The Leeds Arts Council
Presents auditions for Getting Away With Murder by
Stephen Sondheim and George Furth. The esteemed and
retired Dr. Conrad Bering has selected, out of countless
applicants, several individuals for private as well as
Group therapy. It seems this Pulitzer Prize-winning
doctor might be writing another book and it further
seems these patients might be his subjects. The group
consists of Martin Chisholm, an ambitious political
consultant; Dossie Lustig, an sensual restaurant
hostess; the snob socialite Pamela Prideaux;... Vassili
Laimorgos, a sly dealer in antiques and collectibles;
the rich and arrogant real estate mogul Gregory Reed; a
cop with a grudge, Dan Gerald; and Nam-Jun Vuong, a
college instructor and resentful would-be administrator.
On this particular evening the members of the Group
gather as usual in Dr. Bering's office only to discover
that the doctor has been murdered. Who did it? And what
do the appearances of a mysterious young man who killed
a girl in Central Park have to do with what's going on?
To call the police will subject them to reckless
scandal, relentless investigation and turn them into
fodder for the hungry media, so a collective decision is
made to solve the murder themselves.
The Cast requires 7 men and 4 women. The show will run
in October. It is directed by Cliff Keen Jr. If you have
any questions please feel free to contact me at
205-641-0975.
Auditions are August 30 and 31st at 7pm at the LAC. |

FEATURE FILM AUDITION
Co-Dependent Pictures announces auditions for Beats,
a modern adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe’s “Tell-Tale
Heart”.
Auditions will be held Saturday September 18, 2010
from 1-3pm at Fifth Avenue Antiques (2410 5th
Avenue South), two blocks from WorkPlay Theatre and
across the street from The Quest.
Director is casting the following roles: Oliver
(16-28), Evan (16-28), Jessica (16-28), Max (16-28),
Detective Tamerlane (35+), Detective Dupin (35+). All
actors should bring a headshot and resume (if you do not
have a headshot, we will have a photographer on hand)
and be prepared to read from the script.
Beats centers around two roommates and lifelong best
friends, Oliver and Evan. Slowly, Oliver begins to
imagine life without Evan and what benefits that might
entail, so much so that he eventually begins plotting
his murder. Every night it becomes more and more
difficult to not carry through with the sinister deed
until, one night, his emotions get the better of him and
he dispatches his friend. This modernized re-telling of
the classic Edgar Allan Poe story is one-parts horror,
one-parts character study and all parts fun.
This
film will be shot over several weekends in the
Birmingham area. Visit us online at
www.setforstunfilms.com. For more information,
please contact the director of the film at
beatsmovie@gmail.com. This is non-paid but will
definitely be a fun experience. |
