Upcoming Theatre Plays Seeking Equity Actors

The company is holding auditions for "All of Them Riding on Horses" and looking for actors, please see the details below.
ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED.

About the project:
Two teenagers—a descendant of American enslavers and a recent immigrant from Kingston, Jamaica—find their way in Trump-era Richmond, Virginia. A story of
friendship, kinship, and the healing power of activism and art, the play highlights the protagonists' refusal to whitewash the past. 
The play asks the fundamental question: how do we move forward when the past contains trauma? All of Them Riding on Horses suggests that denial is never the answer—not within a family trying to help a child heal from sexual trauma or within a city or a nation trying to redress past and continuing injustice. 

Rate:
All actors will receive a stipend following the final performance for their work.

Actors Needed for "All of Them Riding on Horses" Staged Reading

Looking to cast male & female talent for the "Christmas Carol" show. Please see more details below.

About the project:
Ebenezer Scrooge, obsessed with solitude and greed, collides in a nightmare with his own youth and his lost love. In this traditional theatrical adaptation of Charles Dickens’s story, Scrooge is visited by the spirits of Christmas Past, Christmas Present, and Christmas Yet to Come in A Christmas Carol. Carolers sing fragments of joyous Christmas songs in the corners of Scrooge’s mind as the audience accompanies him on the street and joins him on his dream journey. The visiting spirits of Christmas force Scrooge to confront people and scenes from his life that remind him of his friendlessness – he even sees his home and his future corpse being rifled by his own servants. Finally, he awakens to the reality of Christmas morning and discovers the joy of giving, loving, and caring for others. The costumes, based on fashions of nineteenth-century London, provide color and texture against the abstract setting of Scrooge's life of greed and isolation.

Additional info:
Performances will run on Weekends between 12/3 and 12/18.
Rehearsals will be a mix of three days/evenings per week – Broken down by scenes so not all actors will be present for all rehearsals. Most likely the rehearsal schedule, which is subject to change, will be: Saturdays from 11:30 to 2:00 pm; Mondays from 7:00 pm to 9:30 pm; and Wednesdays 7:00 pm to 9:30 pm. If required, add-on rehearsals may be Sunday afternoons.

"A Christmas Carol" Show In Search of Talent

The company is holding auditions for the "Retrieving the Lamb" Show and looking for actors.
Please see the details below.

About the project:
Christmas comes but once a year. And for the folks in Travis Whitten's nativity tableau, that's way too often. Travis is irritable, domineering, and difficult. The usual Mary, Joseph, and angel are sick with the flu, the music director wants to change the music, and the church furnace is broken so it's either steaming hot or freezing cold. Travis faces some major challenges in mounting this production. She drafts her daughter, Carmen, and son-in-law, Glenn, to play Mary and Joseph, but they refuse, citing their upcoming divorce as the reason. A newcomer to the community named Angel wants to participate but Travis questions her past and her reputation. A local farmer, Joe Walker Hughes, brings his 14-year-old daughter, J.W., and her pet lamb to participate but she's only about five years old mentally and emotionally so Travis is afraid she'll ruin the scene. And, if all that were not enough to make the normally cranky Travis even more difficult, a terrifying storm comes up, leaving the church and its irritable inhabitants in darkness inside and J.W.'s lamb lost in the darkness outside. Travis tries to create her tableau anyway with reluctant participants in adverse circumstances. As Joe Walker goes out into the storm to search for J.W.'s lamb, the others are left to search for the love, compassion, understanding, and spirit of the season that they have lost. Fortunately, they are all assisted in their search by the warm, caring young woman named Angel whose past really is questionable: could she have come from Heaven?

Additional info:
Production Dates: December 1-4 & 9-11, 2022

Male presenting.  An older, wiser, and warmly reminiscent adult version of Ralphie; functions as the story’s narrator, must be able to memorize large portions of the script. Looking for a strong actor who conveys warmth and wisdom.

Ralph Parker / Narrator

Male presenting. The Parker family’s beleaguered patriarch is a grumpy, yet good-hearted father with a penchant for highly original language, much of which is nonsensical. Has a deeply held desire to be a winner.

The Old Man

Female presenting. A patient parent with firm convictions – in particular, the conviction that her son should not own an air rifle. It takes a lot to ruffle her feathers. Comic timing and ability to work well with young children are important talents for this role.

Mrs. Parker

Female presenting. Ralphie’s kind, and sometimes very dramatic, teacher. She’s also an integral component of his campaign for, and eventual obstacle to, the perfect Christmas gift.

Miss Shields

Male presenting. A cross between Roy Rogers and the Marlboro Man, without the smokes. Cowboy hero to all grade-school boys, a straight shooter, and full of campfire wisdom.

Red Ryder

Once a semi-successful car salesman, but took a seasonal side gig working the local Christmas tree lots. In one brief scene, but can be a chance for a memorable cameo.

Tree Lot Owner

Male presenting. A jolly ol’ elf, most of the time. Perhaps he’s had just one too many kids sitting on his lap.
