RockUs Entertainment is casting for “The David Bowie Christmas Special 1977 LIVE! ...From Space!”, a stage version of the holiday special that was “pulled” from network television for being “too freaky.” We are looking for actors, performers, comedians, improvisers, entertainers, cover band singers, and karaoke rockstars.

All performers should be confident and comfortable engaging a large and rowdy audience. This show is an over-the-top comical farce and its success depends entirely on the ability of the performers to sell the show to the crowd. Look-a-likes and singing ability are good, but not as important as strong characterizations of these pop culture heroes. The music will be performed by a live band and will mostly consist of Bowie & Queen hits. Performers should be comfortable learning some simple choreography. Remember, we are looking for confident and energetic characters!

Auditions will be held September 13th and 14th at the Dougherty Arts Center. Late afternoon and evening audition slots available until 9pm. Please submit audition availability with headshot and resume, as well as which roles you feel are appropriate for you to RockUsAustin@Gmail.com. Please bring to the audition a CD with your choice of a 30-second clip from an appropriate 70s song with which to sing-along.

Performances will in December (no later than Dec. 21), with rehearsals beginning mid-October. There will be a cast readthrough in September. Rehearsals will be fairly flexible and likely only 3 weekday evenings per week until tech week, so please bring conflicts to the audition and we can try to work with you if cast. Principle actors should also be able and available in November/December to go out to downtown bars on the occasional weekend to help promote the show/get krunk!

ROLES:
David Bowie - (Male or Female Actor) David Bowie obviously carries the show and so must be able to confidently command a stage by him or herself. An erotic or sensual presence in required, as is playful physicality with the audience. Ability to do own makeup is a plus, as Bowie will transform between his many iterations, This role will be physically demanding and will require singing and dancing. Remember, we are looking for men or women for the role, the more androgynous, the better.

Annie Lennox - This is the short red-haired Annie Lennox everyone is familiar with, so we are looking for female performers willing to cut/dye their hair (tight hair-buns possible). The actor must be able to maintain a high, nearly-psychotic emotional energy. Singing ability not terribly important, but strong movement will be helpful.

Bizarro Bowie - (Male of Female Actor) Looking for over the top character actors to play this alien whose weirdness inspired Bowie’s entire persona and career. Androgyny is acceptable for this role as well. Singing ability not terribly important, but if you've got it, we might write a song for you.

Mick Jagger - Mick is a narrator of sorts for the show. A friendly nature is encouraged.

Freddie Mercury - Requires a confidence in singing on key and close to Freddie Mercury’s range (without sounding awful). Ability to grow a moustache is also encouraged.

Iggy Pop - Must have dark hair and visible chest muscles, and be comfortable being shirtless and acting drugged up.

Marianne Faithfull - Blond, beautiful, and British (or at least the accent). Should be in early 20’s

Charo - Blonde and busty. Pretty much sums up the real Charo too. Small but fun part if you don't mind playing into this characterization.

Bing Crosby, Buster Poindexter, Nipsey Russell - Looking for one strong, comedic character actor to handle all the smaller roles. Any ethnicity, but it would be easier to justify a white actor playing Nipsey than a black actor playing Bing Crosby.

Seeking Editor with an accessible Final Cut set up to help me finish up my short film. I have a rough cut, but just moved here from NYC and don't have the tools to lock picture! We are aiming to make the Sundance submission cut off by September 15th, so need to start working sooner rather than later. Co-Editor credit will come with the job. Email me at ekrififi@gmail.com or call me at 347-993-8618 for more information. Thanks.

Scrooge: The Musical is a 1992 stage musical with book, music and lyrics by Leslie Bricusse. It was adapted from the 1970 film Scrooge starring Albert Finney. Bricusse won an Academy Award for the song score he wrote for the film, and most of those songs were carried over to the musical.

The musical and film are both adaptations of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol in which Ebenezer Scrooge undergoes a profound experience of redemption over the course of a Christmas Eve night by being visited by Jacob Marley and the other three ghosts.

Rehearsals will generally be held Monday through Thursday, from 7-10pm, and Saturdays from 1-5pm. Performances will begin November 19th, and close December 30th. Performances are Friday and Saturday evenings at 7:30pm, and Sunday at 2pm, with Weekday shows at 7:30 PM on Dec. 9, 15-16, 21-23 & 27-30 and a matinee on Saturday, Dec 18th at 2pm.

Columbia University Graduate Film Students looking to shoot 4 spec commercials in the Austin area in early October. Auditions will be held September 7th and 8th. Sides will be provided. We are extremely professional and hope this will be the beginning of future collaborations as we plan on shooting a thesis film next Spring as well. We will provide meals and a copy for your reel. Please take a look at the following breakdowns and, if interested, specify a role and send a bio+headshot to:

Contact: Connor, casting@sandboxhero.com

The Breakdowns:

1. Callaway Golf - Spec Commercial

Driver: Thirty-something year old male, out of shape, used to playing second fiddle to his better-looking guy friends. Dry sense of humor. Sort of a Paul Giamatti from the movie Sideways.

Passenger: Thirty-something year old male, handsome, fit, charming, carefree, ladies man. Think Bradley Cooper from The Hangover. Golf experience necessary.

2. Wrigleys – Spec Commercial

Guy: Male, mid-20s to 30s, goofy and lovable. Not the brightest crayon in the box. Good comic timing necessary. Kind of like Bill and Ted of Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventures or Ashton Kutcher in Dude Where is my Car?

3. Enemy Territory Spec Commercial

Jim: Mid-30s, quirky, intelligent, closet gaming fanatic.

Sally: Mid-30s, proud new professional mom. Always dressed to the nines; sophisticated, intelligent. MBA type.

Extras: Looking for a variety of ages and races… to be the friends and family of Jim and Sally. Need grandparents in their 60s, and friends and siblings in their 30s.

4. Zoosk – Spec Commercial

Cupid: White male, overweight, out of shape, goof ball. Must have excellent comic timing. Could go in the direction of something in the vein of the character Cameron in Modern Family or like Jack Black in School of Rock. Role calls for someone with a lot of physical comedy.

Romeo: 20 – 30 something, guy next door. Wholesome, eager, humble. A dreamer and helpless romantic. Think John Krasinski from the TV hit The Office.

Juliet: 20 – 30 something, girl next door. Pretty but understated.

Contact: Connor casting@sandboxhero.com
