Casting and crew call!!

Hey all,

Mir Productions is seeking male actors, designers and crew for our next original
production, Fetish. The show will run for two weeks in early January
and will begin rehearsing in early November during the evening hours.
Auditions will be held on Wednesday November 7th and 8th (with
callbacks to follow on the 8th). If you are interested in auditioning
please email us at involvement@mirproductions.org to schedule an
appointment. We will respond with a monologue for you to prepare.
If you are interested in stage management, property design, video/projection
design, house management, board op, etc. please email erinina@mirproductions.org.
The casting break-down is as follows:

Matt: late 20's, early 30's, WASPy, intelligent, handsome,
self-possessed, works in finance. He is charming and has a natural air
of confidence. He is blessed with good looks and wealth, but is
unpretentious.

Dion: late 20's, early 30's, Matt's best friend. Black, clean-cut,
charming, smart, good-looking. His confidence is less natural than
Matt's. He grew up in white suburbia and is not entirely comfortable
with himself or his role in the predominately white world of finance.

James: mid to late 20's, early 30's, White, Matt's friend and
co-worker. A little awkward, a little off. He grew up on Staten Island
and has a chip on his shoulder about having to work his way to the
top. He is intense and strange, but attempts to be social.

All roles are non-union, non-pay.

Thanks guys,

Genevieve

Bring Yosef Bar-Yosef to the United States

Born in 1933 in Jerusalem, seventh generation in Israel, to an Orthodox family, he received a Jewish Orthodox education as a child.

He later went on to study Jewish philosophy, Kabalah and English Literature at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. He worked as a seaman, builder, and eventually mainly as Journalist and Literary Editor. His first play ‘Tura’, was staged at the Cameri Theatre in Tel-Aviv in 1963. Since then eleven plays of his have been produced by the major theatres in Israel, mainly by Habima - Tel Aviv's main stage. He won the President Shazar prize for drama for his play “Difficult People”. In 2003, he was awarded the most prestigeous Prize of Israel for his entire dramatic body of work.
