To be considered, please send headshot/ resume to: Judy Bowman Casting 140 Cabrini Blvd #10 New York, NY 10033 The Occasional Theatre Equity Showcase approval pending. Writer: Philip Gerson Director: Michael Lilly Casting Director: Judy Bowman Casting 1st rehearsal: July 11, 2007. Runs as part of FringeNYC: On/about August 10 - 26 (five- eight performances). World premiere. Synopsis: Contemporary urban characters face fear, loss and the true meaning of love in this dramatic, whimsical story of three couples at different stages in their lives over the course of one night in NYC. The youngest couple marries; the bride instantly gets cold feet and runs away. Nearby, a middle-aged couple's plans to celebrate their 20th anniversary are disrupted, revealing deeper fractures in their relationship. And at a midtown gym, two 30something singles meet, seemingly by accident, and turn out to be just what the other needs, but is afraid to face. The characters' journeys intersect with one another, and with a mysterious elderly woman who may or may not be a ghost, until finally by dawn each has confronted the hollow existence of their life and begun to unlock the fear that has kept them there. Seeking: Peter: Man, mid 30s-early 40s, any ethnicity. Very successful realtor. Type A, ambitious, driven, workaholic. "Mr. Big" personality: quick-witted, charming, handsome, can get into any restaurant, club or girl's bed. Lacks meaning in life, commitment in relationships. It's catching up with him. Enormously generous but equally demanding - works 24/7, expects everyone who works for him to as well. Well-meaning but screwed up. Samantha: Woman, 30s, any ethnicity. Transformational, charismatic; has a quality all her own. Magnetic, engaging, haunting -- once you meet her you never forget her. Spent most of her life living in an old mansion taking care of her grandmother; that has imprinted an old-fashioned quality upon her, which makes her sensuality surprising. Actress also plays Mrs. Jones and Old Lady, two elderly female characters. Mrs. Jones is revealed to be Samantha's grandmother -- an ancient, but still sexy, wealthy woman with a unique blend of humor, bite and wisdom. All three of these roles are refractions of the same life-force woman. Clare: Woman, mid-late 40s, any ethnicity. Struggling in her suburban marriage to Dave. Loves him, but feels she gave up her youthful ambition (to be an artist) to become a wife/mother. Now their kids are grown; she wants to move back into the city to regain her youth. High-end travel agent (Peter is her best client), which means being available 24/7. She doesn't mind, and will sacrifice her anniversary date with her husband if it means scoring points to help her get back into the city. Dave: Man, mid 40s - early 50s, any ethnicity. In a huge mid-life crisis, in enormous pain. Recently lost his job to downsizing; his youngest child (a boy who didn't turn out the way Dave wanted) has just left the house; his wife Clare has become the sole breadwinner. Reacts with a short fuse and a wandering eye. Has constructed his life to avoid thinking about a life- altering childhood tragedy; that wall is starting to crumble. Good guy in a bad place. Ana: Latina, 20s. Marries Billy, but panics and becomes a runaway bride. Attractive, smart, hardworking and confident. Went through hell to emigrate from Latin America; her childhood poverty haunts her. Worked her way up from a laundromat to a fancy real-estate office; she is Peter's assistant and a Realtor-in-training. Loves Billy but realizes that he's not onboard with her huge need for upward mobility. Billy: Caucasian man, mid- late 20s. Sweet, genuine, comfortable in his own skin. Good guy with no ambition whatsoever except to have the family he never had as a kid. Grew up in a lower-middle-class family the youngest of many brothers; took care of them and his alcoholic mother. Brothers led him into a life of minor crime; he took the rap for them. Now a sous-chef in a hot restaurant, and a totally regular guy. Ana is the girl of his dreams.

LOW BUDGET FEATURE FILM, NEW YORK
Producer: Justice Group. Filming over six months in New York City, starts ASAP. Payment is on a lo/no/deferred basis. Non- Union. Director: Dashiell Finley/Riley Gay. Email headshots/ resume to justicegroup@gmail.com. Seth Baker is a popular kid at Benjamin Franklin Preparatory School. However, come the summer time, he finds all his friends have left the city for faraway places. Pushed to the limit by boredom, Seth contacts an old camp friend Graham Bishop, with whom he’d had a falling out. Graham welcomes Seth with open arms, and invites him to hang out with his friends that weekend. This group of eccentrics makes Seth uncomfortable at first, but he decides to stick around to try to get the attention of Graham’s friend Maxine Small. What follows is Seth growing to fit in with these oddballs, and discovering that maybe they’re not as weird as he thought. Web: http://justicegroup.wiki.com. Seeking: Max: 15-17, the beautiful girl who encapsulates Seth’s attention during his first visit to Graham’s house. With cutting wit and sarcasm, she quickly puts Seth in his place. This drives Seth crazy, as he is used to getting the girl. Max is the deep thinker of the group, she’s usually armed with some overlooked insight about the personality or group dynamic of people being discussed. She knows people, and loves to push their buttons. Sam: 15-17, the film’s antagonist. He’s secretly in love with Max, but won’t let anybody know it. A delinquent to the extreme, the kid pisses alcohol and breathes weed. He has difficulty taking responsibility for his own faults and laziness. His love for Max is challenged when she and Seth start going out, and he hatches a plot to get Seth to embarrass himself and insult Max, at which point he swoops in and picks up the pieces. Due to his nowhere-man tendencies however, things fall apart as quickly as they came together. Todd: 15-17, a satirical character, poking fun at emo kids, as well as the rise in self- mutilation as a form of release. Todd is plagued with never feeling good enough, he even feels like a second class cutter when compared to his girlfriend Sarah. His problems are mostly, if not entirely, imagined. Constantly clad in a dark blue hoody and girl pants, he loves Simple Plan and livejournal poetry. Sarah: 15-17, like Todd, is a satire on the emo culture. She is not quite as introverted as Todd, and in fact often seems to be in a good mood. However a quick glance at the scars on her arms reveals that she has gone through some deep emotional trauma. Still, she is a pleasant person to be around. Hailing from New Jersey, she is a proud member of the church of hot topic. She falls for Todd, seeing in him a rich creative soul and she just loves guys in girl pants. Aaron: 15 -17, spends most of his time on the internet memorizing facts that he has absolutely no use for. He loves comic books to a fault, and will often interject some superheroes into everyday conversation. Outgoing, nice and accepting the way only a nerd can be. He took “if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all” to heart, and so with this group, is often more quiet than the other characters.
