STILL SEEKING
ACTORS TO FINISH A GREAT CAST
CDF’s
StageDoor Youth Theatre Company is still in
need a few talented actors for our production of
Anne Frank and Me,
by Cherie Bennett. Directed by
Charla Cochran
New
show dates are June 24-27th.
This multiple national award-winning new
American classic, which was a hit in New York,
is about the awakening of a modern teen
Holocaust denier. Nicole Burns doubts the truth
and cares even less, but ultimately comes
face-to-face with the hell of the Holocaust,
and—in an extraordinary sequence—meets Anne
Frank on a cattle car to Auschwitz. We start out
with Nicole in today's teen world of MTV.
Hip-hop dancing, unfinished homework
assignments, and young love are all transported
with her to Nazi-occupied Paris, 1942-44, and
then are brought forward again to the light and
hope of the present.
Show dates are June 24,
25, 26 at 7:30pm and June 27 at 2:30pm
at CDF’s Studio Theatre.

evenings.

Anne
Frank
(15)
Attractive, brunette, big eyes, thin,
outspoken, passionate, brave. This is not a
huge role, but an important one. The

Polin
(14) A babe, the coolest guy in school, a
leader. This actor becomes Jacques
Poulin in the WWII sequences and
ages from 14-16.
David
Berg
(14) Jewish, thin, smart, funny, easy to
underestimate. This actor becomes
David Ginsberg in the WWII
sequences, a hero and ages from 14-16.
Renee
Zooms

This actor becomes Renee Bernhardt,
Nicole’s mother in the WWII sequences,

Auditions for Shakespeare’s R&J:
Theatre Downtown is proud to present the Birmingham premiere of Joe
Calarco’s exciting and original adaptation of Shakespeare’s most
classic love story. Four young prep school students, tired of going
through the usual drill of conjugating Latin and other tedious
school routines, decide to vary their very governed lives. After
school, one breaks out a copy of William Shakespeare's Romeo and
Juiliet and they all take turns reading the play aloud. The
Bard's words and the story itself are thrilling to the boys and they
become swept away, enmeshed in the emotion so much so that they
break school rules in order to continue their readings. The rigidity
of their lives begins to parallel the lives of the characters in the
play: roles in the family, roles in society and the roles played by
men and women soon seem to make all the sense in the world, and
then, suddenly, they seem to make no sense at all. Although they had
been taking turns playing all the parts, two eventually emerge
playing Romeo and Juliet exclusively, bringing a whole new dimension
to the proceedings. Perceptions and understanding are turned upside
down as the fun of play acting turns serious and the words and
meanings begin to hit home and universal truths emerge. Directed by
Billy Ray Brewton. Auditions will be held at 5th Ave. Antiquies,
2410 5th Ave. South, Sunday March 28, 2010 from 1:00-3:00 PM and
Monday March 29, 2010 from 6:30-8:30PM. Auditions will consist
of cold readings from the script – familiarity with the original
text is encouraged. This show will rehearse in the month of May
(rehearsing 4-5 nights per week) and perform June 10-26, 2010 in
celebration of Gay Pride Month. The director is seeking to cast
four boys (age 16-28) of varying description. If you have
questions, please e-mail the director at
theatredt@gmail.com or visit
www.theatredowntown.com.
