CASTING CALL FOR SHELLY

THE STORY: What could be one of our greatest modern dramatic works, BURIED CHILD is Shepard at his finest and most profound. A brilliant, funny, tragic, yet ultimately redemptive artistic presentation of the universal struggle with our “dark Side”. This family, ill at ease in its own skin, stuns, surprises and entertains with its spontaneity and existential
truths while seething with barely repressed rage and shame born of its long smoldering, deep-seated wounds.

SHELLY : In her 20's, bright vivacious, with the sexual insecurity and presentation of a teenager, is the observer/outsider in the play, the audience's eyes, heart and wounded innocence. She is Vince’s girlfriend and has been brought along on his odyssey into the past expecting to meet
his relatives who, she has been told, are a typical, friendly American family. Instead, she is met by a frightening group who insult and degrade her and don’t seem to recognize Vince. While Initially intimidated, scared and struggling to comprehend the madness, Shelly is psychologically the most centered of the group. "I’ll do whatever I have to do to survive
" Including attempts to care for and nurture Tilden and Dodge, and finally is the one who transcends the decadent draw of this primal crowd and escapes.

Remainder of Character Roles THAT HAVE BEEN CAST include:

DODGE - Ranting,half blind, half drunk grandfather (Carries the guilt,shame)

HALIE - Deceitful, conniving grandmother who goes on drinking/sex bouts
with local minister;(Queen Bee Poster child for family Narcissism)

TILDEN - son,an All-American footballer now innocent savant longing for clarity and resolution (The destroyed Innocence and longing for redemption)

BRADLEY - son, who lost one leg to a chain saw(carries on the the legacy of rage, cruelty and emasculation)

VINCE - Tilden's son, the prodigal (healthy ?) grandson returns but no
one recognizes or remembers him, (embodiment of sanity & reason or the Buried Child himself? )

FATHER DEWIS - Halie's minister (drinking/sex sidekick,smothered in shame)

Seeking:

Union and Non-Union pros to play adult roles in a youth production. Actors will be hired as ‘Teaching Artists’ and will serve as mentors to our youth participants. Requirements: Strong ability, strong resume as well as good moral character.

PAY: (AEA) Equity Guest Artist contract for two weeks rehearsal/two weeks performance. (Non AEA) $400-$500 stipend D.O.E. NOTE: CYC Theatre does not hire out-of-town talent who may require housing or transportation.

ABOUT THE SHOW:

“Big River, the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” originated in its current form right here in San Diego at the La Jolla Playhouse in the mid 1980’s. Under the direction of the legendary Des McAnuff, “Big River” went on to Broadway where it won 7 Tony Awards including “Best Musical.” Set in the early 19th century, the story tells the classic Mark Twain tale of the wild and independent Huckleberry Finn and his escapades along the Mississippi river. Huck is joined by his friend, the runaway slave “Jim” who wants to escape to freedom. The story is full of humor, adventure and humanity; and the score boasts some of the best solos and duets in musical theatre.

ABOUT THE PRODUCTION:

California Youth Conservatory Theatre is casting for the Summer production of “Big River, the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn." We are seeking young performers of all types for this fun and memorable musical. We double-cast all principal roles with a Youth Cast (elementary and middle-school) and a Young Actors Cast (high school and college), so there are plenty of opportunities available. Also, this production will feature several professional actors who will serve as ‘Teaching Artists’ and mentors for the program participants, so the participants will have an opportunity to work side-by-side with Equity and Non-Equity pros! Rehearsals will be in San Diego, in the Serra Mesa and Carmel Valley areas and approximately one to two weeknights (plus one Saturday afternoon) per week. For more information on rehearsal schedules, please see our website: www.cyctheatre.com.

ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION:

CALIFORNIA YOUTH CONSERVATORY produces youth theatre productions of very high quality while at the same time maintaining a fun, yet structured environment where young performers can expect to learn something about stagecraft. We maintain extremely high standards of fairness and non-political casting. Opportunities are offered on the basis of an individual’s audition, attitude and conduct—never on ‘connections’ or ‘favors.’ Our expectations are high, and so is the quality of our product. We are very family-oriented and seek the help of parents whenever possible. Our participants are instructed only by experienced, bona-fide professionals with impressive resumes and high levels of skill and achievement.

San Diego Repertory Theatre is currently accepting submissions from union and non-union actors for the San Diego Premier of Water & Power. All performers are paid.

CASTING:             4 Latino Males; 1 Latino Boy; and 1 Anglo Male

Gilbert Garcia, “Water” (Latino; age 33 – 45)
Brother of “Power.” A savvy, progressive California State Senator from Los Angeles with his eye on a future in Washington D.C. Well groomed, ambitious and street smart, Water is among a handful of new California Latino politicians on the verge of making it to the top of the game.

Asuncion Garcia (Latino; age 40 – 60)
The Father of Gilbert and Gabriel. From the Eastside of LA. Working class, loves boxing, wears the overalls of a lifetime employee of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. A tough and loving father.

Norte/Sur (Latino; age 35 – 55)
A wheelchair bound homeboy/vato from the neighborhood who knows the streets and gang members of LA.  He is Power’s best friend, his backup, his man on the street. Speaks Spanish and English. A writer and visual artist.

El Musico/Ice Cream Vendor/Custodian/Possible Understudy (Latino; age 28 – 48)
A powerful, commanding man who can solve any problem. Speaks Spanish and English. Mexican immigrant.

Deer Dancer/Young Gilbert/Young Gabriel/Bus Boy (Latino; age 10 -13. Ideally plays 8 – 10 years old onstage)
This young actor plays each of the brothers when they were 8- 10 years old. Also plays a young boy who is training as a Deer Dancer. Must be a strong actor and dancer.

The Fixer (Anglo; age 45 – 65)
Elegant, dangerous, very smooth and very powerful. An omnipotent figure whose work behind the scenes, often in the middle of the night, makes him among the most powerful men in Southern California. Wears a white suit.

The Play
Culture Clash ensemble member Richard Montoya’s drama is a very funny, tough-minded and penetrating look at Southern California’s power politics and the Latinos and Gringos who hold our future in their hands. His new work is a gripping piece of Southern California noir fiction in the tradition of Raymond Chandler, Walter Mosley and the film “Chinatown”. At the center of the mystery is the power of brotherly love, as two brothers try to save themselves from the abyss of “realpolitik.”

The Story
A hard working Chicano father, a longtime employee for the DWP, nicknamed his twin sons Water and Power and taught them the family motto: there is no power without water, and no water without power. In 2008, Water has become a rising star state senator with his eye on Washington; Power is an honored Police Lieutenant who breaks all the rules.

It has been raining for 17 days and nights. The brothers are trapped inside Motel Paradise on Sunset Boulevard. On the eve of an election that could propel Water's political career into the national fast lane, Power has ignited a life or death scandal that threatens to derail the lives and dreams of each of them. The brothers, and the city, are in trouble.

Water & Power won the Los Angeles Theatre Critic’s Circle and Ovation Awards for Best New Play when it premiered in 2006.
