Looking for actors and maybe audience members for a play-reading session! Date will either be Saturday 14th or Sunday 15th March at 7 PM over Zoom, depending on number of responses of availability I receive. Very casual, no serious casting.

Remember that WWE just firing international talent means they instantly rip their visas and shit away and just strand them in florida. This same thing happened to La Catalina when WWE fired her after calling her up that she had to sell hear gear and lucha masks just to get back to her home country

Weird how I’ve now seen three musicals which are ‘20th Century female singer has tempestuous relationship with personal-professional male partner then goes on to have more successful solo career’, it should be its own genre.

📢OPPORTUNITY FOR WRITERS!📢 Full Rich Day returns with a new writing-response project, In Regard To! Our aim is to encourage early-career writers to lean into their creative inspiration after watching a theatre show and compose a ten-minute response script to be showcased with an audience over Zoom.
Poster for Bread Bin Theatre Company's writing project 'Full Rich Day'. Their new scheme is called 'In Regard To', and this poster specifically relates to Bread Bin's new show, 'Together Forever!'Full Rich Day returns with a new writing-response project, In Regard To! Our aim is to encourage early-career writers to lean into their creative inspiration after watching a theatre show and compose a ten-minute response script to be showcased with an audience over Zoom.

As part of this inaugural opportunity, we are inviting all writers who come to see Together Forever! to write a ten-minute short play in response to the production. All scripts will be read (and will receive feedback) by the team at Bread Bin, and a shortlist of five selected writers will get the opportunity to see their work performed.There is no limit to what the scripts explore, though we request a cast limit of two actors. To be eligible, writers must have seen a performance from the 15th – 19th April and must highlight what part of the show inspired their writing.

The window for submissions will be open from Wednesday 16th April and will close on Friday 25th. This is an unpaid opportunity, though we hope this provides a great chance for emerging writers to both introduce themselves to Bread Bin, and to form new networks with other creatives.

Not to ignore Together Forever! (two weeks away!), however I am curious to look towards my next project. So, I'm certainly curious: Theatre friends! What should my next project be, based on these prompts? 💜 Revival of short duologue play ❤️ Verbatim-ish play about fear of flying

CASTING CALL

Together Forever! 

Ally/Grace - Female, playing age 22-28

Bread and Roses Theatre, 15th - 19th April

Profit-shareWe are looking for a female-presenting* actor to play the roles of Ally & Grace in our upcoming production of Together Forever! at the Bread and Roses Theatre. We are looking for an actor with good comic instincts who is comfortable with multi-rolling. This role will be cast on a profit-share basis.

Ally - A stoical wayward alien passing as a female human. Philosophical, warm-hearted but cynical.

Grace - A headstrong young woman who doesn’t take shit from anyone. Energetic, impulsive, curious about life.

The character of Grace is bisexual, so we strongly encourage LGBTQ+ actors to apply for this casting.

*The characters in question are female, however we are open to casting an actor of any gender for this production, so long as they are comfortable with portraying female characters.Together Forever! is a collection of three satirical shorts from the mind of James Pickthall about the crazy things we do when relationships fall apart. It will be directed by Yusuf Niazi and produced by Jacob Freda with Bread Bin Theatre Company.

Rehearsals: 10th March - 14th April (part-time)

Get-in: 15th April (all day)

Performances: 15th - 19th April (evenings)

We will aim to schedule rehearsals around existing commitments, but good availability over the last two weeks of March and first two weeks of April would be helpful. You will be needed all day on 15th April for get-in and tech.

We are looking for actors who are based in London for this production.

To apply for this role, please email breadbintheatre@gmail.com with your Spotlight link by Sunday 23rd February. Auditions will be held online from 27th February - 1st March. 

We look forward to hearing from you!
