Your Stage

I'll start this Chapter of Get Yer La La's Out with a Hit Song from a woman who had been in the Rotary Connection in the late 60's.

And yes, I did steal this Series title from the old Rolling Stones Live album!

Then I am going to play games, the most fun for me is when I play Songs, as is the case wit...

Casting Call

Low/No paid R&D with pending funding app’s. N. London.

Thrown By Giants is an ArtsDepot/Tsitsit Resident Artist work for ‘24.

My play about refugee women in the Isle Of Man’s enemy alien camp during 1940, has its R&D booked Jul 8-12.

HERTA: 30-35 German Jewish refugee. Haughty, pensive, maternal.

EDITH: 30-35 German Jewish refugee. Nervous, relieved, naive. All roles have emotional depths, but Edith in partic has to comfortably portray emotional extremes.

GERTRUDE: 27-35 German nurse. Friendly, secretive, arrogant.

GISELE: 30-35 Black/Mixed Heritage German refugee. Hardened, kind, funny.

Due to their unspoken journeys I partic welcome actors from Jewish/Refugee/Queer/Incarcerated backgrounds.

Contact details below to ensure you’ve read fiddly bits…

Me: I’m a Jewish/Irish comedian. (Herta is my grandmother) Thrown By Giants is my 1st drama, developed with Young Vic Writers. Due to current sensitivities feel free to check my socials to see if I’m someone you want to work with before applying :)

Funding: I was shortlisted but turned down by ACE, I shall re-apply. Also Crowdfund & seek private donation. If funding is secured that will be reflected in fee. At present I can offer £90 for the week. The R&D will be filmed for my notes & to create a trailer to secure paid productions- you can use footage for showreels/socials.

Project: The July R&D will be followed by a staged rehearsed reading 8-14 Nov. Ideally I’d like same cast but realise the problems securing this.

Ages: As I’m asking a favour & it’s R&D I’m flexible with ages! Herta & Edith are parents of teens & mums would be partic useful for the research period- finding modern actors with teens of the same age mums would be in ‘40 will always be a challenge! Gisele needs to be believably trying to conceive. Gertie can be any age, late 20’s is historically accurate.

Accent: Actors speak in their own accents for most of the play. German accents sporadically & for R&D not essential, though we will play with portraying communication barriers.

Gisele: I’ve been conscious throughout of problems in a white writer creating a Black/Mixed character. I’ve worked with a professor of Black Germany, based her on a real woman & had Black dramaturgs & sensitivity reads. As there are Nazis in the play the language is stark- but I am very keen for the actor playing her to take ownership of the language & characterisation and help me portray events within creative safety & authenticity.

Background: The welcomed backgrounds are not essential, just useful, as are many others. The roles already cast have Jewish/Refugee/Queer background so rep. Is present, but I’ve already had 2 people on the project make unthinking anti semitic remarks, so having knowledge of the world of the play is helpful.

First instance send CV & part/parts sought to meryl.mor@gmail.com

I’ll reply with scenes for self tape.

Final auditions will be in person 6th or 17th June.

THANK YOU!

There is nothing but these Posts.

At the top, it asks what I want to do next but there is no choice to cancel. I scrolled to the bottom of these posts and there is nothing. The Help page only has set FAQs and none of them are how to cancel.

There is no number to call, no email to write (except for technical questions).

I typed "Manage Plan" in the Search and it took me to more posts

Freedom is a small town in NW Oklahoma where I lived for 13 years. It's a modern-day western inspired by my true story. Book is available on Amazon.

Gina let's talk, I'm doing this on a shoe string and creating a trailer pack to get paid productions, so there may be things we can do on zoom/virtually.
