Casting two adult roles—one male and one female—for a workshop scene from the feature film "Challengers" as part of a UT Austin Director’s Workshop project taught by Professor Andrew Shea. Logline: A tense scene where Patrick asks Tashi to be his tennis coach, but in reality it's a much deeper conversation about what Tashi wants. Production states: "A great opportunity for actors to workshop their skills and try something new with no major risk involved. Exposure to 20 student filmmakers, mostly directors, who have projects coming up soon that will need casting." Additional info: Location: Austin, TX Dates: Required in-class performance Sept. 30 2pm-5pm and 3 rehearsals to take place between Sept. 14-Sept 30 on UT Austin Campus.
