***All roles are paid, albeit at a low rate for the POC. (rate for Harvard will be $200)*** David Manocchio, a multi - award winning film director, is shooting a Proof of Concept for the feature film "*Revolver*". We are searching for an African - American actor to play the co - lead role of Harvard Sanders (HARVARD - Age: 28 - 45. Smart , articulate, man with a plan). We are also looking for 2 Caucasian men for the roles of BRUCE and TOBY (Age: 22-40), 2 Latino men for the roles of GANG MEMBERS (Age: 22-40), as well as a Caucasian OR Latina female for the role of TRACY (22-35). "Revolver" can be likened to a modern day "Butch & Sundance" in which you have two very likeable guys who happen to be on the wrong side of the law and their plan to pursue their legit dreams before it's too late. It's a hip neo - noir crime drama. It's a one day shoot with the target filming day on Sunday, September 7. This cannot help but be excellent exposure for any actor looking to build up their resume and demo reel. David taught Film Acting and Film Directing at the Cleveland Playhouse for 8 years in their adult Education Dept. His films have played at the Cleveland Intn.

Morris, and Janice Paran. Four of the authors (Miller, Sublett, Maher, and Morris) interviewed their parents about their relationships. The play is based on those interviews. The play is a charming, heartbreaking, and hilarious account of each relationship, looking at how they met, got married, and eventually divorced, and the events in between. “In YOU BETTER SIT DOWN the truth about these four defunct marriages is laid bare with simplicity and honesty” – The New Your Times “Relentlessly entertaining” – The New Yorker “Wryly entertaining…absorbingly candid.” – The Village Voice What the critics say about this play: In the original production, the four children presented their parents’ stories, portraying the parents. Our actors will be doing the same. Natalya Duncan plays Caitlin Miller and her mother Mary Anne; Conner Sutton plays Robbie Collier Sublett and his mother Janet; Lisa Georges plays Jennifer Morris and her mother Beverly; and Samuel Roter plays Matthew Morris and his parents John and Frinde. For more information about the cast and upcoming shows, follow us on Facebook. The production is directed by D. Keith Stiver, who has previously directed Love, Loss and What I Wore, Three Tall Women, and Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf, all for Twin Masks.
