Actors Needed for Upcoming Plays
Looking to cast males and females for "The Long Weekend by Norm Foster" and "Chicken & Biscuits" projects. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: 1. "The Long Weekend by Norm Foster" The Long Weekend delivers non-stop mischievous fun and scrumptious plot twists in a hilariously tangled web of truths, deception, and surprises that will leave the audience guessing – and laughing. Max and Wynn invite Roger and Abby to their new country home for a long weekend. The two couples, who don’t seem to like each other very much, spend two very long weekends together leading to a series of comedic misunderstandings and miscommunications. The absurdity of their interactions as they navigate through the trials and tribulations of these two weekends make for a very funny comedy. What ensues is a hilarious series where secrets are revealed and bad decisions are made, until everyone learns that the grass is not always greener on the other side of the fence. 2. "Chicken & Biscuits" Can rivaling sisters Baneatta and Beverly bury their father without killing each other? This proves difficult when Beverly shows up to the chapel with her “blessings” on display. Meanwhile, Baneatta’s son brings his neurotic Jewish boyfriend along, knowing Baneatta disapproves, and Beverly’s nosy daughter keeps asking questions no one wants to answer. Baneatta’s pastor husband tries to mediate the family drama, but when a shocking family secret reveals itself at the pulpit, the two sisters are faced with a truth that could either heal or break them. The title refers to the late Bernard Jenkins’ favorite foods, which we are told he could not cook to save his life but loved to eat. Additional info: Callbacks if required – November 11th , 2025 – by invitation only. Cold Readings from the script. If interested, please apply.
