DAMARISCOTTA:
Looking to replace an actor who had to drop out of my upcoming
production of A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM:
an early 20's or college-aged male actor. Rehearsals begin
next week. All details below: Fenix
Theatre (Shakespeare in Deering Oaks Park) and River Arts of
Damariscotta will present A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM in August:
August 5-15 in Deering Oaks Park (Portland) and August 21-23 in
Damariscotta. I am directing this production, which feature some
of the best of Portland's acting talent: Ian Carlsen, Brian
Chamberlain, Liz Chambers, Paul Drinan, Ariel Francoeur,
Kathleen Kimball, Lisa Muller-Jones & Seth Rigoletti. I am
looking for one (1) early 20's/college- aged male actor to play
a fairy in this production. In addition to play two of the
named fairies in the play (Cobweb, Moth, Mustardseed or
Peasebloom) in the scenes with Titania & Bottom, the fairy
ensemble in this production will be onstage for the entire play
and will interact and sometimes manipulate the "onstage" action.
The fairies will also interact with the audience as they entire
the space in Deering Oaks park. Actors with
singing/musical theater experience or other special skills, such
as dancing, gymnastics, etc., that can add to the production
will receive special consideration. This will be a fairly sexy
production, so interested actress should be comfortable with
caressing and kissing cast members of both genders and with
their own body image. Rehearsals run for 4 weeks, and
begin Monday July 6th. The fairy ensemble will rehearse twice a
week for the first 2 weeks of rehearsal (July 6-19), then 3-4
times the 3rd week (July 20-26), and then 6 times a week July
27-Aug 4. Rehearsals are a combination of weekday evenings and
weekend days. I will be as flexible as possible about
scheduling rehearsals around conflicts, as I am asking the fairy
ensemble to volunteer their services for this production.
Performances run Wed through Sat, Aug 5-15 in Deering Oaks Park,
and actors need to be available the weekend of Fri Aug 21-Sun
Aug 23 to be in Damariscotta for restaging rehearsals and
performances. Interested actors should contact Peter Brown
at peter3brown@gmail.com
or 207.615.4020, as soon as possible.
