PRODUCTION DESCRIPTION
Casting "Saber." A struggling actress driven by family crisis manipulates into the audition of a lifetime--n audition that forces her into a face off with a charming director that goes to violent extremes to find a survivor for his film. (Yeeaaaahhhh... see... already, I'm like, "I think I see where you're going with this, and the answer is NO.")

REHEARSAL AND PRODUCTION DATES & LOCATIONS
Production dates runs Aug. 27-Sept. 27 (including online auditions).

SEEKING TALENT
Claire: (Lead) a force of nature, a rare breed who goes through life, unbreakable, but ignoring the important personal things (like slightly shady casting notices?), right now she finds herself at a crossroads, and her strange experience with Mike and Jay may help her decide what she really wants. (Again... I have to say, "I doubt that.") 

AUDITIONS
Seeking submissions from: Toronto, ON; New York, NY

AUDITION & SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
Submit a video audition of yourself performing the sides; selected candidates will be contacted with callback information.

SIDES(Editing a little here...)

SABERSIDES-CLAIRE
INT. STIENBERG PRIVATE THEATER INSTITUTE- STAGE
An old-fashioned stage complete with dusty floor boards and
red velvet curtains. Right at this moment, however, the
entire theater is shrouded in darkness.
A harsh 300 watt stage light SNAPS ON revealing: Claire,
standing behind a solitary table on it: her portfolio and
Mike’s white mystery box from earlier.
Shes wearing a bright silver sci-fi suit. She adjusts the
awkward-fitting HELMET and BOOTS.

...She takes a moment to compose herself, then she goes right
into it, giving her delivery all the conviction of Richard
Burton’s Hamlet.

(Ok... serious face... serious face, people. Now, I don't want to give it all away, so here is just a delicious soupçon with a photo I added just because sometimes a visual helps:)

...My men weren’t witness to
three hundred rounds of uranium
taring through an orphanage...
...tonight, I’m
shoving the regulations so far up
inside your cute little twat your
wife won’t be able to tell who she
tasting when she’s kissing you
goodnight.


Oh, god, that is perfection. I need a cigarette...
