CASTING NOTICE Playwrights Local (http://playwrightslocal.org/) seeks multiple cast members for a rehearsed reading presented online via Zoom on Wednesday, March 24 at 7:00 pm THE CANVAS Written by Justin Lazor Directed by Melissa Crum Event Page http://www.playwrightslocal.org/winter-roundtable-series-2021/ Logistics - There will be 2 rehearsals and 1 on-book reading, all conducted via Zoom. - This is an unpaid position, but a great chance to be a part of a new play! - Reply with a cover email and headshot/resume to the director at melissatcrum(a)gmail.com. Please include your availability for March 10-24. Synopsis The Canvas is an examination of what we mean by “art” and a journey toward and across the thin line that separates art from violence. A scholarship student at an elite art school, Deborah finds it hard to fit in amongst her pretentious classmates, Gabriel and Michelle, who ostracize her for both her socioeconomic difference as well as her ideas about what constitutes art. When their flamboyant teacher, Professor Poisson, unveils his latest masterpiece, a completely blank canvas, Michelle and Gabriel fawn over his genius, but Deborah feels compelled to call “bullshit” and point out the fact that the emperor has no clothes. This sets into motion a heated battle of wits between teacher and student, which ultimately culminates in Deborah creating a shocking work of art that none of the others will ever forget. Open Roles Deborah: College-aged, early 20s, female. Nerdy and introverted. Professor Poisson: 40+, male. Flamboyant and arrogant. Michelle: College-aged, early 20s, female. Spoiled, rich brat. Gabriel: College-aged, early 20s, male. Pretentious but insecure, because he's not as rich as Michelle. Narrator/Stage Directions: Any age, etc. About the Roundtable Reading Series http://www.playwrightslocal.org/winter-roundtable-series-2021/

The shoot is to begin in March so respond ASAP to receive script and start getting familiar with eh character and the dialogue. The partner character only has a few scenes int eh film but is very very important to the emotional core of the film.
