Auditions for male and female actors aged 18-50 years
***PERFORMANCE DETAILS***
Venue: Zoo Southside (the cabaret bar)
Time: 6pm performance, 90 minute show, cast call from 1+ hour prior
Dates: Wed-Sun, August 1-24
Please do not apply if you are not available to perform in Edinburgh in August.
***REHEARSAL DETAILS***
Rehearsals will be 1-3 times per week (the exact dates/schedule will be created based off the availability of the selected actors) from June 25 – July 31. There is a tech run on the 31st of July. All rehearsals will take place in Edinburgh.
***THE AUDITION***
Sat June 21 – Mon June 23. Auditions consist of a half hour slot per person, and are one-on-one. You will, in quick succession, perform all the roles applicable to you. You will jump into each part, and improvise the answers to the questions asked of you by the detective (casting assistant); aka “Hot Seat”. Only a brief description of each role will be given, as it appears below. Further information about the auditions is available upon booking.
***THE ROLES***
All roles are equal (there are no leads and extras). Some of the parts are interchangeable (male/female). All are suspects. In order of audition:
Ivanna Noe – Big fake smile, talkative, celebrity gossip guru (writes a regular column for a newspaper/mag as one of her occupations). Desperately superficial.
Flo Tway – severely introverted/shy. She thinks before she speaks, is very cautious in what she says, and is very observant. She won’t be rushed. She is deliberate, thoughtful and elusive.
Amanda Kullmien – obsessive, borderline hysterical-obsessive. Frets about topics, overthinks, talkative, possessive, gets wrapped up in her world of obsessions (she has a number of them). Commonly prattles/rambles/fixates.
Abby Trois – passionate. Outgoing. Heartfelt. Proactive. She fights for what she sees is right and wears her heart on her sleeve.
Lauren / Pete – gruff, reserved, factual. Personal life kept personal. S/he is not monosyllabic. Could be described as an uncut diamond (but possibly without the precious stone element). S/he is practical, intelligent, and quick on her/his feet.
Tam / Tom – abrupt, impatient, stressed, tetchy. Manipulative seductress/tor. Slippery, slick.
Nancy / Jeffrey – a proud and highly independent wo/man. S/he was very active, but has recently become disabled, and now is faced with being entirely dependent on her/his caregiver (Ivan). S/he is not soppy nor aggressive; her/his pride borders on hubris.
Huw Gleep – total bastard. Unashamed jerk. Sexist, racist, homophobic, self-righteous, condescending, patronizing, highly confident, arrogant.
Ivan Nanseer – socially awkward. Has a lot on his mind. Nervous perfectionist, focused on getting it right. Tries very hard. He is the only person not here for the singles night – he is here as Nancy/Jeffrey's caregiver.
Drew Aztar – flirtatious. Openly sexual (bi-sexual); charming. Good humour, easy to get along with, easy to chat with, highly charismatic, courteous, engaging – but unquestionably flirting (someone you'd want to be swooned by; not sleazy).
The Victim: AJ Oak, a nice guy / boy next door type. We will require someone to play AJ for the purpose of rehearsal (only) with participation in a production/supervisor role during performances if desired.
The Setting: a chocolate-themed, singles night (well, afternoon).
