Hello! If you're someone who has experienced emigration/lived between two places I need you for my project, PLEASE mail me! I'll give you free cookies. Oh and please share if you know anyone!

I'm posting here as this is a performance based project so having natural performers involved would be a huge plus.

Experience must be genuine though.

Mail me at: katieg.oneill@gmail.com if interested.
Many thanks!

Katie.

Hi there!

I'm a writer, and I am looking for actors to read through my script, which I plan on developing into a profitshare production.

I am ideally looking for actors who would be interested in being actively involved in a new play and having input at all stages of its development, and would like to experience the other creative sides of theatre besides acting.

For the purposes of the reading I need 3 women to read for major parts, and 2 more women and 3 men who will read a variety of small parts (many of which are intended as radio clippings). 2 of the major parts should have a playing age of early thirties, the other major part is an older, professional woman.

I have been given some free rehearsal sessions in Dublin city centre at the following times:

Friday 9 March: 5-9pm
Monday 12 March: 5-9pm
Thursday 15 March: 5-9pm

If you would like to get involved, or simply would like some more info, PM me on here or send an email to untildead.play@gmail.com, indicating what times during any of these sessions you would be available for (I am only asking for about 2-3 hours committment at this stage - don't get freaked out by the 12 hour sessions!

)

Thanks. :cool:

Hey all
I'm working on a low budget independent film called Beat Girl at the moment about a girl who becomes a DJ and we are shooting club scenes in the Purty Kitchen in Temple Bar on Thursday.

We are looking for 100 extras to film some club scenes with 2fm DJ Jenny Greene during the day - call time would be 1pm. If anyone's interested, sign up at production@beactivemedia.com or you can PM me.

When the dialogue scenes are finished, the doors will open to the public at 9pm and Jenny and John Gibbons will put on a free gig for all Beat Girl punters. Extras from the daytime shoot will be featured heavily in the night shoot, having the best spots closest to the DJs.

Here's the event link: http://www.facebook.com/events/340223636026350/

Cheers and hope to see you there!

Plankton1 · 10-05-2012 9:04am

Hi all

We're going to keep this open for a few days, as we received a lot of mails from people since who weren't able to attend Tuesday. We would also like to thank all the people who came along to audition, we were humbled by the amount of interest.

Considering the Ireland match is on that evening, we will be having auditions in Kairos at 1pm on Thursday. Please mail rsmurke@gmail.com, and I will send you contact numbers, and directions etc. If you can't make it, drop us a line anyway, and we'll figure something out.

Horse Trading Diaries · 04-07-2012 5:25pm

Shane Burke’s dark new comedy “The Horse Trading Diaries” will debut this August in The New Theatre, Temple Bar for a two-week run. (August 27th- September 8th) .

St. Patrick's week , 1965, Limerick city. A hotel owned by famed Irish rebel Michael Hurley is visited by Ernesto 'Che' Guevara, a world-famous revolutionary. For Frank, the hotel porter, things have never been so grim. The guests get stranger by the day, hot water bottles are exploding, and plots are being hatched....

The script is a light farce, punctuated with some rather dark moments. The characters are best played as if they do not know they are in a farce and are reacting genuinely to the situations that unfold. All performers will require exceptional comic timing and dramatic range.

Auditions from Monday the 9th of July.
Rehearsals to begin early July in a brand new studio space in the city centre. Profit share.

Character Breakdowns:
Frank (Lead): The hotel Porter. Obsessed with keeping up appearances, and not rocking the boat. Hates change.
Una (Lead): An MI6 SOE agent masquerading as the translator hired to communicate with Che. Has a brutal and sad past.. Of spanish descent.
Tim (Lead): The Villain. Another MI6 SOE agent and diabolical figure. Overseeing M16’s mission. Also takes on a number of other disguises.
Michael (Supporting): The hotel owner. Former Irish rebel. Holds many secrets.
Jeremiah (Supporting): A naïve young man who seeks out and embraces change.
Che (Supporting): Revolutionary leader, at a crossroads, torn between the desire for a simple life and the need for adventure and revolution.

If interested, or you have any queries, please email CV and Headshot to horsetradingdiaries@gmail.com

Hope to hear from you soon,

Sugarglass are looking for versatile actors that are interested in being involved in the process of creating a piece of theatre in a non-theatrical setting. The production will be developed during August and early September and will require a wide range of a performers with many different skills all united by a shared interest in the concepts found within the novel and how they can be translated into performance. This promises to be an exciting and innovative project that will be both challenging and rewarding for perfromers. Come along to an audition and get involved in a party and performance that examines the role of the individual in a society more and more defined by the movement of the crowd.

Directed by Marc Atkinson
Produced by Rob Kearns and Sugarglass Theatre
Inspired by Steppenwolf by Herman Hesse

Auditions will be held on 23rd and 24th July, and auditionees must be available for a possible callback on the 25th July.

Those wishing to audition must be available for rehearsal during 6th - 10th August and the week prior to the show with flexible availability between those dates. Please note on your application if there is a minor problem with any of the above dates as some flexibility may be possible.

To apply for an audition please send a professional CV, headshot, full contact details (mobile number, Facebook page, and Twitter handle where applicable) and details of your availability on the above dates to casting@sugarglasstheatre.com

The deadline to apply for an audition is Friday 20th July. You will receive an email confirming a receipt of your application and those invited to audition will be informed by email as soon as possible after application.

No specific preparation is required for the audition. Ideally, however, those auditioning would have read the novel.

Rates of Pay: Any profits made from this work will be divided among the cast and crew. However, given the scale of the production, it is anticipated that no profit will be made. As such, this is likely to be an unpaid performance. There is, however, the possibility of future iterations of the performance which would be paid.

Sugarglass Theatre is a new production company based in Dublin and made up of four young professional theatre-makers. Sugarglass is not bound by a ‘style’ or artistic discipline rather by a shared ideal that the work they produce should always offer a reflection (all be it shattered) of our contemporary society.

Eduardas Gricius · 10-09-2012 11:06am

Hello Boards.ie community!

We are a student group with Filmbase and we are shooting a short film called "Temptation" in Dublin on October 5-6, 2012. The film is a comic in tone with the story of a young lad, Seamus, who fights with his own conscience (through the voices of his parents!) after he finds a lost phone in a public park. We are currently looking to cast 2 characters:

Seamus

About 18 - 22 years old, friendly looking. Not as cool as he thinks he is, however, more attractive than he realises. He hasn’t yet figured out who he is, who he wants to be and what he wants to do in his life. Raised between conflicting messages and moral codes which he has received from his parents. He is largely attracted to his father’s ways which seem cunning, straight-forward and resourceful. But deep inside he’s an empathetic person and struggles with ideas and actions that may ultimately hurt others.

Annie

About 18 - 22 years old, pretty, extrovert, bubbly, open to people and rather trustful. On one hand sensitive and empathetic, but on the other hand an assertive person who knows how to care about herself and take initiative when needed. On her phone she stories some files and photos or great sentimental value to her so when she realises that she has lost the phone it is a devastating experience to her as the subjective value of the lost files is incomparably higher than the value of the phone itself. When Seamus returns her the phone intact she’s suddenly over-excited with joy, but then quickly becomes herself again – a sympathetic, optimistic person with well-balanced personality – contrary to Seamus.

This is a no budget Filmbase project however this will be a great opportunity for those looking to enhance their portfolio and meet great people on the set. We will absolutely make sure that you are treated very well, get credited and will receive a DVD copy of the movie once it is finished. Additionally, the insurance is in place for the shoot and we will provide with the meal and transport from and to the location as well as the invitation to the screening, which will take place at Filmbase early November.

Casting evenings are Wednesday, September 12th and Wednesday, September 19th at Filmbase studio. Please send your expressions of interest to [email removed] - and we will provide you with a copy of the script + other helpful information.

Thank you for considering us!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR EVERYONE WHO REPLIED - we have received a great number of responses and filled our audition times to max. All the very best

~E[/email]

Eduardas Gricius · 12-09-2012 11:21pm

A quick update, we have finished our first day of casting - and we have another one coming up on Wednesday September 19th 2012.

Thank you to all the actors who replied so far, you have been amazing and thank you to Boards.ie community for simply being there!

Performers wanted for POP:

13th - 18th of May, Players Theatre.

What Is It?

Essentially, It's a live gameshow disguised as a theatre performance. The aim of the game is to out-embarrass each other by asking truths and challenging dares. Don't want to answer? Too uncomfortable to continue? Pop a paper bag over your head, but you're out for that round. It's as simple as that.

We made the show as a reaction to confessional documentary theatre, but it is also a commentary on colloseum style audience reactions to reality television. In the last quarter of the piece we open the direction of the show to the audience, allowing them to influence the tone and content of the finale. But of course, there is a twist.

Who Are We?

We are a theatre collective, though our back catalogue contains club nights in the Bernard Shaw and the Twisted Pepper, pervasive games at Body & Soul and Electric Picnic. We make interactive, audience participatory theatre that is game based at it's core. And messy.

What Next?

Interested? Email us at comeassoonasyouhear@gmail.com for more information! Oh, the information we shall provide!

(And here are some reviews):

"A spirited and funny show turning the confessional theatre genre on its head." - Irish Times

"Come As Soon As You Hear have been quietly developing a great reputation as the authors of really intelligent, irreverent performance" – Róise Goan, Dubin Fringe.

"Watson's chipper tone and loose form carry a charm that's hard not to warm to" - Irish Theatre Magazine

"One of the biggest & best shows of the Fringe" - Spin 103.8

"Fifty Shades of Fringe. You will be disgusted, enthralled and maybe turned on; one thing is for sure though you will not be bored at this show." - coddle.ie

hi i have never done acting befor i am 28 and would like to give it a try please call me on *SNIP*

Kilgore__Trout · 10-10-2013 2:13am

Hi,

Thanks for reading.

I'm currently working on a PC game, and looking for a volunteer to do a voice over for the introduction sometime in the next few weeks. The introduction consists of a number of still images with text that runs to about 600 words.

I have been working on it for 9 months now. It should be complete in 2-3 more.

The protagonist of the story is a male security operative. Ideally, I'm looking for an Irish accent and a strong voice. Sorry if this excludes anyone, but anything else will call for sections of the story to be re-written.

All I can offer by way of payment is a mention in the credits, a copy of the game (when it's complete) and my thanks. Experience isn't necessary, but you've got to have a good voice.

Send me a PM if interested. If you have a sample of voice acting you can link me to, that would be even better! Looking forward to hearing from you.

We are a team of media students in DCU working on our final thesis which takes the form of an mobile murder-mystery game were the player wanders around Dublin trying to catch a serial killer.

We are looking for actors to play a number of parts in the production and would appreciate it if you could pass this on to any interested parties. The work involved would include some short video work, some audio/voice over work and some photography work. We would only ask for a day of the participant's time for the majority of these roles.

Unfortunately, as this is a student project we cannot afford to compensate any actors but we will feed them and give them full credit for their work. We will also edit and send each actor all of the video, audio and images that they are involved in so that they can use them for their own portfolio.

The casting call can be found at this link: https://docs.google.com/a/mail.dcu.ie/document/d/1XJMNvAeBcGWLLDsY3-sk87Om-UBTsfaDfZqJEDvyMxw/edit

Anyone interested can contact us at the email address in the link. We're looking to audition within the next two weeks.

CASTING CALL - PAID WORK

4 male and 2 female actors needed for a Cork Arts Theatre Repertory Company production to be staged last two weeks of August 2014. Playing age range: 20-28. Stage experience is essential. Auditions to be held 11th and 12th April.

Please send your resumé asap to: james@horgancommunications.com

hometruths · 29-04-2014 10:16am

We are putting on an show in the Trailer Park at the Electric Picnic, last weekend in August, and are looking for 3 actors.

Its an interactive theatre production, the stage being the trailer and the garden outside; the audience invited to join the party, and muck in like any good wedding guest. Earl, a country and western cover singer and Darlene, a hairdresser and beautician, have been dating for three months after meeting in the local honky tonk. Candy, a Hooters waitress, is Darlene’s daughter from a long forgotten relationship. The comedy chronicles a big weekend in all their lives as Earl and Darlene are getting married. As you’d expect from good ol’ Southern hospitality it is an open house, or trailer, for the weekend

Earl, male, playing age range 25 - 35.
Earl, the groom, is a country and western cover singer so needs to be able to sing and play guitar.

Darlene, the bride, female, playing age range 30 - 45.

Candy, female, playing age range, 18 - 25.

There are 6 short shows over the weekend, but actors would be asked to improvise some scenes between shows.

We are on impossibly small budget and at this stage can only commit to paying a per diem expenses rate. Obviously actors get free passes to the Picnic, none of the shows will clash with the headline acts, but we would ask that actors remain relatively sober throughout!

For more info please email hank@bigfatredneckwedding.com

Earth based band 'Alien Envoy' are casting both male & female roles to star in their next music video for the track 'Sunny'.
Alien Envoy is a musical collaboration led by musician & film-maker Nick Kelly (ex The Fat Lady Sings) & 'Sunny' will be the 2nd single to be released from their forthcoming album 'LOADS'.

Video Concept:

The idea is to film a person - actually a series of people playing one person at different ages in their life - running along a sunlit riverbank & ending up at the end of a pier/lighthouse.
As the characters run, they get older. At various points they are joined by one or more runners of the same age (representing various friends & partners through their lives) who join them on the run.
As they get older, and they get closer to the lighthouse at the end of the pier, the day is waning and their last companion falls away.
Old, tired and alone they approach the lighthouse - we see a small figure waiting for them, a child of eight who greets them as they finish their journey. This child then sets off gamely to begin their own epic run.
All cast members will be required to wear timeless white singlets/vests, white shorts, white socks & trainers which will be provided if needed.

Requirements:

Female- We need 5 female 'runners' for this video.
Details- Actresses need to have Blonde hair with Blue eyes and be within one of the following age brackets: 6-9, 13-16, 22-30, 40-50 and 65-70.

Male- We need 3 male 'runners' for this video.
Details- Actors need to have Brown/Dark hair with grey/green coloured eyes and be within one of the following age brackets: 22-30, 40-50 & 65-70.

As this video is capturing both people on their journey through life at different ages, the female cast & also the male cast, obviously have to look as similar as possible. So if anyone who is applying has members of their family that look similar & fit into one of the ages brackets then we would very much appreciate applications from multiple family members. Also people will be required to run for this video shoot so some athletic ability would be an advantage although it's not necessary.

Please note: This is a micro-budget music video for an independent band, so unfortunately we are unable to pay cast members. However, it goes without saying that everyone will be credited for their work & you will also receive 2 tickets to a private launch party for the release of the Alien Envoy album LOADS where the band will perform live & we also hope to screen the video. Filming will be commencing before the end of July and each cast member will be needed for 2-3 hours.

To apply please email your details along with your head-shot/show-reel link to: sunnyshoot2014@gmail.com
