(Satire)  By Karani Marcia Leslie  Directed by Tony  Sias  Jelliffe  Theatre

 March 2 - March 25, 2007  Preview Nights February30th & March1st

This play was voted one of the top ten Off Broadway plays, this bristling
political satire puts racial stereotypes on trial-literally!  A young
professional African American files a law suit against two negative images
of Black women: Mammy and the sexually licentious, Safreeta Mae. The
courtroom satire uses humor and history to get to the truth of the images
African Americans face daily.

Audition Dates:

TUESDAY, December 12 @ 6:30pm & THURSDAY, December 14 @ 6:30pm  

  And SATURDAY, December 16 @ 10:30AM

MUST PREPARE A MONOLOGUE

6 black females     and     1 black male (may play other male parts listed)

VICTORIA MARIE DRYER: black, ageless character, but,  played well by woman
late thirties, strives to be socialite, cut  above the rest attitude,
subtext of isolation and ashamed

THE PROSECUTOR: black, age irrelevant, she's a shrewd competitor, stays on
in circle of well-to-do blacks and whites

THE DEFENSE (Zora): black, very afro centric, loves a  good debate, well
read on history and race relations

SAFREETA MAE: black, must be young, very sexy, nineteen  to twenty-five,
uneducated but bright, not a tragic  mulatto

MAMMY LOUISE: black, age fifty, the usual  Mammy

THE JUDGE (Mabel Wilson): black, straight from the  projects, worked her way
up, no nonsense and demands  respect 

LEROI JOHNSON: black, he is confident, smooth,  calculating, product of the
eighties me generation, would climb the ladder of success and  once on top,
set it on fire and take the ashes with  him.

Message-ID: <17170322.1165431134977.JavaMail.root at elwamui-ovcar.atl.sa.earthlink.net>

I have a client looking for a Marilyn impersonator to flirt and schmooze, and possibly someone to dress up and do the "Bad Santa" character from the movie for a Company party (small, about 50 people) on Dec. 14th from 6-7 pm in Cleveland.

Please reply with photo and/or bio/resume of experience.  Thanks!

Leigh
