AUDITIONS: Sat, March 27 and Sun March 28 from 12 - 4 pm in Weigel Hall Room 177, 1866 N. College Road on the OSU campus. Please bring picture and resume and prepare one 2-minute monologue. You will also be asked to read from the script.
The production will run for 8 performances between May 19-29 at Columbus Dance Theatre.

CHARACTER BREAKDOWN:

Jules - male; a marine biology graduate student; 28ish; uncomfortable, excitable, literal

Barbara: female; a natural history docent; 40s-50s; buoyant, vulnerable, passionate, grand

PLOT:

Jo, a female journlism student, and Jules, a male marine biologist, meet in a subterranean biology lab for an erotic "casual encounter." But there's nothing casual whatsoever about this particular evening. Will meaningless sex have meaning? What's going on in the fish tank? And who is that woman, Barbara, pulling levers in the corner? Something is about to explode.

ALSO SEEKING: SET DESIGNER

These are all paid positions.

Meeting Time Change: March 13, 2010 Drama Foundry Writers' Group Meeting

Because we have a full length and an act from another full length being read, I am extending the meeting time.


New Meeting Time:
1:00pm to 4:45pm

This way we won't be rushed. If you are an actor or writer who has committed to reading or being read for this meeting and this time change poses a problem for you, please email us ASAP.
