03-23-12 – Miami, FL>Orlando, FL – Synopsis:
ABOUT DIVIDED WE FALL: (directed, written, produced by Sharon Cummings)
This play is an adaptation of “West Side Story”. We decided to take it to another level by making the conflicts between Jamaicans and African American. Unfortunately, in this country you can say that every group is resented in some way by another group, whether you are of the same color or not. Being of Caribbean parentage, I saw the conflict between African Americans and Caribbeans during this era. This story is about young people from two groups during the eighties and the hatred they have for each other. The African Americans felt that the Caribbean people, (especially the Jamaicans) have too much control both economically and in their everyday lives. They felt that the Jamaicans got more opportunity than they did. The Jamaicans on the other hand felt that the Americans did not take advantage of the opportunities afforded to them, so the Jamaican felt that in some ways, they were better because of their misconceptions of each other they were constantly fighting against each other. At one point in the story an Americans falls in love with a Jamaicans which caused more conflict. Ignorance and hatred cause violence, loss of lives, and loss of innocence. These youths did not care who got hurt or killed in the crossfire, as long as they were satisfied seeking revenge.
In the end many died or ended up in jail. Loved ones were left to grieve and nothing was resolved, all because of ignorance.

03-18-12 – Chicago, IL>Milwaukee, WI – Looking to form (or join in progress) a good old 60s garage band. I am of that era, cutting my music-teeth on the likes of the British Invasion and the rest of that contemporary American rock scene.
Taught myself to play rhythm guitar (could always sing and harmonize) and enjoyed being in quite a few bands back then. Did my part in the military, raised a family and now, after a few (sic) years, I am free again to pursue my love of this music.
I am seeking musicians of like interests/age group. The late 50s, through the 60s and into the early 70s was a fantastic time for beautiful music. I would love to put something together that would reflect that era.
If you can play a decent lead guitar or bass AND can sing (leads too) and harmonize, I surely would like to talk with you. If you have something already started in this vein, I’d love to see if I can fit your needs.
I have left the drummer out only for the time being. I have found (by previous efforts) that putting the singing/guitar end of this effort together can be a little daunting and time consuming, if one wants to have this sound right.
I am located near Carol Stream. I would hope that you would be fairly close (15-20 mi.).

01-17-12 – Nashville, TN>Louisville, KY – After history professor John Oldman unexpectedly resigns from the University, his colleagues press him for an explanation. He asks them what conditions might allow a man from the late Cro-Magnon era to survive until the present day (14,000 years). His fellow professors play along, and they propose ideas and thoughts from each of their specialty fields. They are understandably shocked when he confesses that the story is true – and it’s his story. Curiosity wars with intellect as they attempt to poke holes in his narrative, but the tale is as impossible to disprove as it is to verify. Tempers flare, beliefs are challenged, friendships are threatened, and reality becomes a shaky thing indeed.No monologue required; auditions will consist of cold readings from the script. — Submit Yourself To This Role Now: Live Event

01-13-12 – Atlanta, GA>Birmingham, AL – Audition for ‘A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum’
Based on the plays of Plautus The perfect escape from life’s troubles, “…Forum,” takes comedy back to its roots, combining situations from the time-tested, 2000 year old comedies of Plautus mixed with the infectious energy of vaudeville. The result: a non-stop laugh-fest in which a crafty slave (Pseudolus) struggles to win the hand of a beautiful but slow-witted courtesan (Philia) for his young master (Hero), in exchange for freedom.
The time is two hundred years before the Christian era, a day in spring. The place is a street in Rome in front of houses of Erronius, Senex and Lycus. — Submit Yourself To This Role Now: Live Event

Professional stage attire and attituded is a must.
Rehearsals WILL BE 2/3X weekly until the show is ready for public.
Singing leads and being able to “pick” out harmony lines is a must. This is NOT negotiable so if you are not sure you can harmonize, chances are you would be wasting time answering this ad.
We have done this before, and yes, it was very sucessful.
We are looking for SEASONED and EXPERIENCED vocalists, but if you play an insturment, that may be a plus.
