12-16-11 – Atlanta, GA>Birmingham, AL – Casting for the upcoming theatrical production of “Who’s afraid of Virginia Wolf”
Synopsis:
George, a professor at a small college, and his wife, Martha, have just returned home, drunk from a Saturday night party. Martha announces, amidst general profanity, that she has invited a young couple—an opportunistic new professor at the college and his shatteringly naïve new bride—to stop by for a nightcap. When they arrive the charade begins. The drinks flow and suddenly inhibitions melt. It becomes clear that Martha is determined to seduce the young professor, and George couldn’t care less. But underneath the edgy banter, which is crossfired between both couples, lurks an undercurrent of tragedy and despair. George and Martha’s inhuman bitterness toward one another is provoked by the enormous personal sadness that they have pledged to keep to themselves: a secret that has seemingly been the foundation for their relationship. In the end, the mystery in which the distressed George and Martha have taken refuge is exposed, once and for all revealing the degrading mess they have made of their lives. — Submit Yourself To This Role Now: Live Event

12-10-11 – Portland, OR>Seattle, WA – This marvelously theatrical play is the story of a disturbed young man and his friendship with a disenchanted preacher in southern Indiana in the early 1930s. When the boy was young he almost drowned. This trauma and the loss of his mother in the same accident has left him deathly afraid of water. The preacher, set on breaking away from a long line of Kentucky family preachers, is determined not to do what he does best. He works as a mechanic for the boy’s father. The town doesn’t have a preacher and the women try to persuade him to preach while he tries to persuade the child to wash. When the preacher finally gets the boy in the river and is washing him, the townspeople mistake the scene for a baptism. They descend on the event and, in the confusion, a tragedy occurs.
“A splendid drama by a playwright… with poetic as well as human feeling.” — Variety
“‘The Diviners’, which would be meritorious from anyone, is astounding from so young a writer… Renders the humor and horror of the hinterlands with staggering accuracy… Compelling.” — New York Magazine
Production dates: March 23, 24, 30, 31, 2012. — Submit Yourself To This Role Now: Live Event

11-02-11 – Miami, FL>Orlando, FL – We are casting for our movie “Keisha’s Journey”. We are shooting a trailer and a couple of scenes to help raise money for the actual feature. Below is more info on the movie and a character break down.
Keisha’s Journey is a beautiful story of transformation and tragedy where long-held family secrets are revealed and family values are put to the test. Keisha is a young black woman living in public housing with her mother, grandmother and her four small daughters. Keisha’s a short cut addict and chronic procrastinator who ends up with four months of welfare payments left before she has to get a job. When she has to attend a literacy program, true to her short cut addiction, she chooses the shortest possible program – and once there – the shortest book, which happens to be a 64 page gem on the power of thought. Her introduction to the powerful little book begins to transform her life, but not without challenges from family members who are not interested in change.
