Over The Boardwalk
Auditions will take place at The Jersey Shore Arts Center on Main Street and Main Avenue at the entrance to Ocean Grove on Thursday and Friday, June 19th and 20th at 7:30p.m. and on Saturday morning, June 21st at 10:00 a.m.

Guild Theatreworks announces auditions for the Jersey premier of a Broadway bound musical.  In the summer of 1963, just before JFK s shot, before the Beatles come to America and everything changes, three generations of women - and an assortment of friends - come together in a grand battle Over The Boardwalk when their way of life is threatened by a ruthless developer. Over The Boardwalk is a new Broadway-bound musical by Jersey-shore-raised Lea Ann K. Behan that takes its audience "down the shore" to a beach boardwalk amusement pier where life gets as sticky as the salt water taffy, and the characters as colorful as the plush animal prizes at the spinning wheel booth.  The Guild Theatreworks is presenting the New Jersey premier of Over The Boardwalk this September as a backers' preview showcase for future New York productions. Actors should prepare a short song demonstrating range and personality; some prepared to dance and perform a cold reading from the script. All roles are open, and include 5 females and 4 males in the late teens to early twenties; 2 females (late to early forties), 1 African American male in his early twenties, 2 males between forty and sixty years of age, 1 female in her mid-sixties and two 9 or 10 year old girls. An ensemble of a diversity of types and races needed, and all roles require singing. Show dates are September 19, 20, 21st and September 26, 27, and 28th at the Jersey Shore Arts Center. For additional information go to www.overtheboardwalkthemusical.com. Questions regarding auditions should be directed to The Guild Theatreworks at 732-774-3800.

Meanwhile, In Baghdad - FringeNYC
Coleavens Industries is casting for the world premiere of Meanwhile, in Baghdad, which will appear as part of the 11th annual New York International Fringe Festival. Written by Joshua Cole. Directed by Nick Leavens.  The play examines a world where the blind lead the blind, and one country's War on Terror is another's war against itself. When the bombings come home, who becomes the insurgent and who the liberator? With this critique on questionable "war," everyone becomes implicit and viewers are left wondering if they are who they believe themselves. Meanwhile, in Baghdad is a highly dramatic play breaking away conventional storytelling through a combination of theatrical and mixed media elements. The production will provide an excellent platform for actors that wish to pursue a positive, hearty artistic experience. Both Equity and non-Equity actors are welcome. Coleavens Industries is a new Brooklyn-based production company whose goal is to raise the questions that no one seems to be asking, and to hold the looking glass to our spectators' faces in hopes of a true reflection. We express ourselves through a variety of media, including ∆ but never limited to ∆ stage, screen, and happenings. Seeking: Older male Arab actor (40+) to play 55+ Iraqi. Middle aged female Arab to play Iraqi 35-40. Middle aged male Arab to play Iraqi 35-40. Young female Arab to play Iraqi 25-35. Young male Arab to play Iraqi 25-35. Please email and/or mail headshots and resumes to meanwhileinbaghdad@gmail.com or Joshua Cole, PO Box 3725, Grand Central Station, New York, NY 10163.
