Although, expect that we will have a read-through/informational meeting during the week of December 14<sup>th</sup>. While it is our intention that all filming will be able to be done from home via the Zoom app, however some limited filming may need to take place at the theatre depending on the needs of the production. Any on-site filming would be limited to a single performer, the director, and a representative from the theatre, would be dependent on the individual actors comfort level. Cast members will also be asked to pick up any costumes, props, or small set pieces (expect something similar to a picture frame, or small furniture piece) at Cassidy Theatre in January. If you have any difficulties with picking up items from the theatre, contact the director and he will make reasonable accommodations for you.</p><p class="ydp260f1db4MsoNormal" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; line-height: normal; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"> </p><p class="ydp260f1db4MsoNormal" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; line-height: normal; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><b><u>Electronic Requirements</u></b></p><p class="ydp260f1db4MsoNormal" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; line-height: normal; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">All performers must have a device with a web camera and reliable internet access. <b><u></u></b></p><p class="ydp260f1db4MsoNormal" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; line-height: normal; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"> </p><p class="ydp260f1db4MsoNormal" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; line-height: normal; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><b><u>Available Roles</u></b></p><p class="ydp260f1db4MsoNormal" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; line-height: normal; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><b><u><span style="text-decoration-line: none;"> </span></u></b></p><p class="ydp260f1db4MsoNormal" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; line-height: normal; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><b>NARRATOR<span class="ydp260f1db4Apple-converted-space"> </span></b>– Similar to the criminologist in Rocky Horror<b></b></p><p class="ydp260f1db4MsoNormal" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; line-height: normal; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><b> </b></p><p class="ydp260f1db4MsoNormal" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; line-height: normal; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><b>WADSWORTH</b><span class="ydp260f1db4Apple-converted-space"> </span>– a traditional British butler in every sense: uptight, formal, and “by-the-book.” He is the driving force of the play.</p><p class="ydp260f1db4MsoNormal" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; line-height: normal; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"> </p><p class="ydp260f1db4MsoNormal" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; line-height: normal; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><b>YVETTE –<span class="ydp260f1db4Apple-converted-space"> </span></b>a loyal and sexy French maid.</p><p class="ydp260f1db4MsoNormal" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; line-height: normal; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"> </p><p class="ydp260f1db4MsoNormal" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; line-height: normal; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><b>MISS SCARLET</b><span class="ydp260f1db4Apple-converted-space"> </span>– a dry, sardonic DC Madam, more interested in secrets than sex.<span class="ydp260f1db4Apple-converted-space"> </span></p><p class="ydp260f1db4MsoNormal" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; line-height: normal; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"> </p><p class="ydp260f1db4MsoNormal" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; line-height: normal; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><b>MRS.
