Synopsis

Directed by Rhett Luedtke with the assistance of  Maggie Daane (musical director) and Richard Elliott (conductor), She Loves Me tells the story of Georg Nowack, whose life as head clerk in Maraczek’s Parfumerie is relatively peaceful until Amalia Balash is hired. While Georg and Amalia clash at work, each of them finds solace writing love letters to their anonymous romantic pen pals in the evening. When Georg discovers that his pen pal is none other than Amalia, he faces
a crisis of heart. Will his love for his pen pal prevail? Or will his disgust of his co-worker triumph?

She Loves Me is based on the book by Joe Masterhoff. The music was written by Jerry Bock (music) and Sheldon Harnick (lyrics), the duo who co-wrote Fiddler on the Roof.

Monday, Feb. 6, from 8-10 p.m. in Wood-Mar Auditorium
This is an ensemble audition, consisting of a movement workshop and cold readings from the working script. Also, be ready to perform a 90-second monologue if asked. Sign-ups for this audition will be in Ross.

Day 2:
Tuesday, Feb. 7, from 8-10 p.m. in Wood-Mar Auditorium
This ensemble audition will be a continuation of the movement workshop and cold readings.

Note: If you are at all involved with the Spring Choir Concert, you will not be able to audition for The Broken because performances conflict.

Actors needed for student film

Monday, January 23rd, 2012

We are in need of six actors (of high-school looking age) for a 25-minute short student film.

The synopsis: Push the bully holds cruel dominion over the school, earning his respect through fear and deprecation. When new kid John Williams enters the school and challenges his sovereignty, Push must fight to retain not only his power, but also his very identity.

The six roles we are searching for are:

  • Push the bully is not short, nor is he tall. With his smile he could get away with murder.
  • Eugene Kraft is Push’s righthand man. Eugene is afraid of Push, and loves seeing Push bully anybody beside himself.
  • John Williams is a prince. A hero. He is well-read, well-bred, and well traveled. He is tall with blond hair and steely blue eyes.
  • Frank is one of Push’s favorite victims. Frank is overweight. And he has a lisp.
  • Slud is another of Push’s favorite victims. Slud has a disability that requires the use of forearm crutches.
  • Clob, another of Push’s favorites, looks radioactive. Clob has acne and is ugly under his acne.

We also need some giggling high school girls who have crushes on  Williams the new kid, and also someone to play a very short role of a maid/mother, and possibly a damsel in distress.

This is a non-paying gig, but we will provide meals during long shoot days, a DVD of the film will be provided when its done, and also great seats at the premiere.

We are planning on shooting the weekends of Feb. 10-12, 17-19 and 24-26. Auditions are this Thursday and Friday, Jan. 26-27, at the Portland Center near Tigard at 7 p.m.

Questions? Contact Carissa Hoffman at choffman09@georgefox.edu.

Talent search for short films

Monday, January 23rd, 2012

Are you a talented male actor, interested in adding a short film or scene to your repertoire? Excellent.

I’m looking for a few talented guys to act in a few short scenes of scripts that I have written for my Senior Portfolio class. The scripts are funny, intelligent, and are guaranteed to be as much fun to film as they were to write. Parts include frustrated comedy writers, boys with crushes, professional box-sitters, and a man with the ability to make the perfect piece of toast.

We’re looking to film over the course of a weekend or two, although schedules are really flexible, since we’re all students. Each script should take no more than three to five hours to run through and film.

If you’re interested in acting or want more information, contact me at trobertson09@georgefox.edu
