Hi everyone, 

Here is sample social media graphics and copy for your unions to use to encourage House passage of the American Rescue Plan Act, the reconciliation bill providing the next round of COVID-19 relief: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1UZiGaWPD4lfqq5wim8jSFFsqp8Lnrk7E

We expect the House floor vote to occur at the end of this week, likely Friday or Saturday. (We'll keep you updated on exact timing as we know more.)

Best,

Michael

Member Tom Frescatore of TSquared productions King Lear classes and casting for play

TSquared Productions (I am one of the founding members and Resident Director) is offering an 8 week (3/6-4/24) intensive course on King Lear culminating in a live Zoom reading of the play.

Class meets (virtually) on Saturdays from 10A-12N, taught by an established subject matter expert named Jessica Damrow Sherman.

I know and have worked with Jess and can vouch for her expertise.  This is something from which any classically minded members will benefit.

Suggested donation is $10/class, but that is a suggestion, not a prerequisite for attending.

Thanks,

Tom

Jessica Damrow Sherman

8 Weeks

March 6th - April 24th

Saturday mornings, 10am-12pm

Free Class, suggested donation per class $10.

Blurb:

Brothers, sisters, and an aging Father-King. Fools, bastards and a blinding. All written during an outbreak of London’s dreaded Plague. This eight-week exploration of one of Shakespeare’s darkest and most profound tragedies will include a deep dive into the play’s characters, relationships, imagery, language and themes in an effort to answer the burning question: When madness strikes out on the heath, is it truly possible to return home? Classes will include readings from the play, along with discussion of ancillary essays, productions and other related materials. 

 

This class will culminate in a public (virtual) reading of the full play. In order to be considered for any of the roles, you must attend at least four class sessions. Attendance does NOT, however, guarantee you a role. 

 

There is no charge for these classes, but a $10 donation per class is suggested. A little less or a little more is also appreciated! Donations are split evenly between  TSquared Production Company (to help support its hosting and marketing efforts) and the instructor (to help support her extensive and thorough preparation of class materials.)

NYU Student Zoom Piece

Hi Carlo,  I hope all is well with you. If you can share this 

to any actors on your list-serve that would be 

interested in a non-paid student zoom project 

with a talk back that would be great.

I am in the Advancing Directing course and 

we have a directing project where each student will 

direct their own piece live on zoom during class hour 

on March 12. The piece is 2-5 min but all actors must 

stay for the duration of the entire class from 

4:00pm to 6:35pm on the 

day of the presentation as there will be a 

talk back and a possible exercise to 

explore the piece a little deeper. 

There will be rehearsals at least twice a week 

and I am 

scripting the adaptation this week.  

I have attached the piece that I will be 

adapting so you have some context on 

what I am looking for.

Also, If you can send a sample 

no more than 1 min of your 

acting (monologue) that would be great.

This will allow me to see you in the role 

you would like to play. 

Thank you so much. I really appreciate it.

Shari

Casting for Italian accents

 A potential casting opportunity...

---------- Forwarded message ---------

Subject: Looking for Actors With Italian Accents
To: <theatrephiladelphia@googlegroups.com>, <theatrephiladelphia@yahoogroups.com>

Good Afternoon Everyone,

I have a monthly audio drama show on Germantown Radio, and I'm looking for actors who can do Italian accents for a play of mine. It's called "The Cat," and it's about a stray cat in a small Italian town who takes control of an old woman like a slave.

This is a public radio show, and I'm not receiving any money for this, so I can't promise payment for the show, but I can promise everyone a fully-produced copy of the audio drama for their portfolio.

Could you please let me know if you're interested by Wednesday morning? The lines will be recorded in advance, but the play itself will be aired on February 24th, 5PM, and I'd love to have all the actors as guests on the show to talk about your thoughts on the shows and upcoming projects. It'll be a socially distanced show through Zoom, and I'll send you the link to the show a few days in advance. I'm sending this opportunity out broadly, so the roles will be first come first serve.

I've enclosed the scripts in this email so you can give it a read, but the script will be subject to edit. If you have any questions, contact me at ccieri@fandm.edu. Let me know when you get this and have a good day.

Warm Regards,

Caitlin
