Seeking African American Actors – The Piano Lesson – Equity!

Seeking submissions from Actors’ Equity Members only for these auditions.

THE PIANO LESSON – Yale Repertory Theatre New Haven, CT LORT D; Theatre pays $1125/week *
* housing or NY New Haven Train Fare provided.

1st rehearsal: 12/27/10. Runs: 1/28 – 2/19/11

Synopsis: Pittsburgh, 1936. An ornately carved upright piano sits in the home of Berniece Charles, who plans to pass it along to her daughter. But her brother, Boy Willie, has another plan for the prized, hard-won heirloom: to sell it for the hard cash to buy the same Mississippi land that their family once worked as slaves. The Piano Lesson is the intimate story of a brother and sister and their struggle to embrace or deny their epic inheritance.

Note: The Piano Lesson was one of six plays in August Wilson’s 10-play cycle chronicling the African American experience in the 20th century to premiere at Yale Rep. Director Liesl Tommy made her Yale Rep debut with the critically-acclaimed production of Eclipsed in 2009.

Seeking:
Doaker: Late 40s/Early 50s. African-American. Berniece and Boy Willie’s uncle. Railroad cook by profession, but retired from the world. He tries to be neutral in the family argument over the piano but also knows – and re-counts – how relevant the piano is to their legacy. This character has many lengthy monologues so actor must be very technically proficient with language.

Boy Willie: Early 30s. African-American. Berniece’s younger brother. Boyish with an infectious grin. He is brash and impulsive. He is talkative, and somewhat crude in his speech and manner. This character has many lengthy monologues so actor must be very technically proficient with language.

Lymon: Late 20s. African-American. He doesn’t talk much but when he does, it is with a disarming straightforwardness. He is Boy Willie’s friend, but doesn’t plan to return with him to the South. He wants to make a life for himself in Pittsburgh.

Berniece: Mid-30s. African-American. Her husband died 3 years ago, and she is still in mourning. Single mother and strong woman who wants the best for her daughter. Fiercely protects the piano and the family legacy it represents. This character has many lengthy monologues so actor must be very technically proficient with language.

Avery: Late 30s. African-American. Preacher. He followed Berniece to court her. He is honest and ambitious, and well-suited to the city.

Wining Boy: Mid-50s. African-American. Full of zest and sorrow, he wanders in and out of the house depending on his financial situation. He is a musician and former recording star, and a very gifted story-teller. Actor must be able to carry a tune and sing some blues.

Grace: 20s. African-American. Boy Willie’s pick-up during a night out. Attractive, spit-fire.

NYC auditions will be held on an upcoming date to be determined, by appointment only.

Casting Details for BitterSweet Monday!

‘Bittersweet Monday’ is a non union feature film about friendship, love, betrayal, and hope.

GINA (Principal, late 20s to mid-30s): She’s the girl everyone wants: beautiful, smart, warm, and inviting. She’s sweet in her demeanor, but very ambitious and driven. She’s a working model who met her husband JEREMY, a photographer, as she was starting out. At the current stage in her life, she feels that she is far ahead of Jeremy, and his lack of ambition is a bit bothersome. Their life revolves around Gina, and she is not apologetic about it.

PETER (Principal, late 20s to mid-30s): He’s the man every girl wants. He’s smart, handsome, confident and charming. A successful corporate lawyer, he sometimes comes off a bit cold in his demeanor. But he’s actually a very devoted husband and friend. Married to his college sweetheart MONICA, Peter holds a secret from his past, which eventually catches up with him.

JUDE (Supporting, late 20s to mid-30s): He is the sweet and creative type, who is careful in every word he says and cautious in every action he takes. An executive editor for a travel magazine, Jude finds himself in a situation, where he asks MONICA, his ex-girlfriend, for a favor.

Casting will take place in early September 2010 in NYC (by appointment only), and we’re hoping to start shooting in late October or early November 2010.
