CASTING FOR Waiting...

Casting is currently underway for Waiting... A NEW MUSICAL - An Official Entry in The 2013 Boulder International Fringe Festival this September.

Auditioning for the following roles:

*PROF* GG's father and Grace's ex-husband. 36-45. He was a brilliant university chemistry professor. Grace's affair (they had been having problems right after they adopted GG) sent him over the edge. He couldn't deal with it. So he "medicated" himself with meth and pot. He is now homeless. Smart, witty, but under a drug induced fog. GG feels responsible for him but doesn't know how to help him. Prof feels guilty and can be passive-aggressive. GG calls him on his shit without going overboard. It's his way of showing his father that he loves him. BARITONE

*MARCUS* A masculine, confident, gay black guy, 25-35. He is putting himself through grad school to be a social worker by bartending at a local gay bar. He does it because he is attractive AND smart - he's using what he's got to make what he needs to survive. He's also taking care of his elderly grandmother who takes a lot of his time (and patience). So time is money in Marcus' world. He is attracted to GG because of his art and who he is. Marcus also supports himself by selling pot on the side. He gets GG involved because GG asks him to let him make some money to support his graffiti (paints/transportation). Plus he's entranced that someone so confident and attractive is giving him attention. BARITONE

ABOUT THE SHOW:

Waiting... is the story of GG, a young Hispanic graffiti artist in the environs of the City of Angels, Los Angeles. Prof, Grace, Izzy, and Marcus are all "along for the ride" in this story about a week in the life of these Angelenos. A mix of latin/jazz/pop/rap music. It's about ALL the characters and their stories and the meshing of cultures we all experience in people, art, and music. Additionally, it's about the disconnection we feel as a society, even with people we know best, occupying space right along side us.

Waiting... is timely one-act musical with a cross-pollination of Latin | Jazz | Pop | Rock | Hip hop serving as a musical palette and canvas for its storytelling. With the city of Los Angeles mixed into the stew pot (almost like a sixth character), Waiting... is on its way. Rated R.
