Actor Melbourne
I am urgently seeking actors who could play an Indian character above the age of 40 for a romantic comedy, Victorian College of the Arts (VCA) short film.
Please contact Nick on 0404-071-937 to audition.
Auditions are being held this Wednesday the 27th of August, but other times are available if you cannot make it to the VCA then. The film is being shot in Melbourne on Thursday September 4th and Friday September 5th.

Actors, Sydney
FOR THOSE ABOUT TO ROCK, WE SALUTE YOU!!  ….   
Ah, sorry,   wrong notice.
Shakespeare?  ‘The Merry Wives of Windsor”, that’s it!    
I’d like to invite those dedicated actors out there that are full of energy, life and are willing to play, to become part of a Pratt’s vision of a version of, well, Shakespeare.  It’s different and definitely politically incorrect.  

Experience would be nice but every person has a part to play in a play, whether ‘tis this play or not is yet to be known.  So don’t let fear hold you back, after all, ‘All the World’s A Stage” and there are no small parts only small actors.  

Personally, I loathe auditions so I intend to strive to make these auditions as painless as possible.  All I ask is that you memorise a monologue from any Shakespeare play, I don’t care which one but please familiarise yourself with ‘The Merry Wives of Windsor’.  Then turn up and forget what you think you know about Shakespeare and be ready to play!  

Auditions shall be held on the weekend of the 30th and 31st August, 2008.  The location should be Regatta Park, River Road, Emu Plains.  If wet down the road a bit at Lewers Gallery.  The time, 10.00 till 2.00 pm both days.  

Thanks for your time, Wayne Pratt.   Note:  Slackers with weak hearts and prima-donnas need not apply and finally ROCK ON!!   For enquiries contact:  Wayne Pratt 0405654276
