Directed by Pam Amodio
SEEKING: Female actress for the role of “OUISER” only. All other roles have been cast from our canceled production in May 2020.OUISER (female, 60’s-70’s) – wealthy, eccentric, and forceful. She doesn’t suffer fools easily. If misery loves company, it adores Ouiser. She is the engine in this (and any) room. She says that men are “horrible creatures,” and pretends to have moved on past that concern in her life. Ouiser thinks that she’s as independent as they come. She says that she’s been in a bad mood for forty years and that the sooner her body wears out the better off she’ll be. She’s a southern woman, who wears a funny hat, an ugly dress and has hands like t-bones from gardening in the soil.AUDITION DATE: Wednesday, August 25th at 7:00 p.m. (please be prompt)SHOW DATES: Oct 15, 16, 17, 21, 22, 23, 24, 2021REHEARSALS: Begin August 30th

The World Premiere of “OUTCASTS, LONERS AND GEEKS”
Written & Directed by Pam Amodio
Based on “Give A Boy A Gun” by Todd Strasser

SYNOPSIS: BANG! Gunshots echo through the gym. Two heavily armed students, Gary and Brendan, hold their classmates hostage at a high school dance. Their targets: the football players and teachers who have tormented them. Their weapons: semiautomatic rifles. Their motive: revenge. In “Outcasts, Loners and Geeks,” the interwoven voices of students, teachers, friends, and the gunmen themselves re-create the harrowing crisis at Central High and the reasons behind Gary and Brendan’s rampage. A tragedy that rings dreadfully true to life. A stunning work of fiction taken straight from today’s headlines, “Outcasts, Loners and Geeks” is a stirring wake-up call to stop the violence in the lives of teenagers.

SEEKING: Adults, teens, and adults who look like teens. 20+ roles available. Bring resume and headshot or recent photo if possible.

AUDITION DATES: Friday, August 27 at 7pm, Saturday, August 28 at 7pm & Sunday, August 29 at 2pm

SHOW DATES: November 20, 21 (2-3 performances) for invited audiences of VIPs, Board of Education members, guidance counselors, principals, etc. to showcase the production for future presentations in local schools and communities.
