Casting for free product trial and user testimonials

Hello Northwest Performers!

I have another project in search of several dozen people who would like to
try a new skin care product.

We are looking for a mostly female group, ages 13-29, with ongoing concerns
about acne. A few men will also be needed, so don't be shy gentlemen!

This will involve several weeks of product trial followed by on-camera
interviews in mid-March.

Yours truly,

Nicholas John Nakis

Now casting male lead for short comedy film

e are now casting the male lead for our comedic short film “Bed, Track, and Beyond”.

Log line: Jess is puzzled and envious when her seemingly sedentary boyfriend, Josh, begins inexplicably getting in shape while she tries to do the same through rigorous exercise. Little does Jess know that her other half is actually exercising as well - in his sleep.

Josh - Early 40s. Starts out slightly chubby and soft, but gets fit and muscular by the end of the film. Must be able to run and work out while looking asleep.

This being a student production, we can only offer compensation in the form of credit, a copy of the film for your reel, and plenty of coffee and craft services on set. Our 5 day shoot is scheduled to happen in March in Seattle. Specific dates TBD.

Thank you,
Dan Howes

The fairies at The Moonpaper Tent are putting on their annual carnival -- an interactive, improvised, carnival - themed production.

One weekend of performances (February 24th, 25th, 26th) will be family - oriented. Two weeks later, March 11th, we will be throwing a wild party called Levoluna for grown-ups. We will be using the same sets, material, and characters that we have created for the circus. We will be having 3 rehearsals at most.

We need 7 performers who are physically capable, comfortable with improvising, able to produce with very little rehearsal, and who have a specific performance skill set.
