Fest. Casting Director: Danielle Bauman. Non-Union. Duration: June 15 - Aug.
10. Pay: credit/copy/meal. Please submit to: mouslie@aol.com. Synopsis: All
Frank asks is to be left alone in his new house. But some members of his
community conspire to force him out, one way or another -- whether he likes it
or not. A two-act comedy of menace exploring the virtues of loneliness and the
danger of manners. Seeking: FRANK MASON: Recently released from prison.
"Recovered" pedophile. Keeps to himself or at least tries to. Late
20's - early 30's. WINSTON: Franks Parole Officer. Dry humor, a bit jaded due
to the nature of his job. He is sick and tired of baby-sitting criminals but if
he doesn't do it who will? Character is supposed to be in his 50's but someone
who has the chops and a good make-up kit can play this role. DEBRA: Franks
neighbor. His exact opposite- extremely social. Is afraid of silence and being
alone. She has a daughter so she needs to look like she should be in her late
20's-early 30's. ED: Winton's "assistant." He is also a
"recovered" man. Large in stature with a wild look in his eyes- a
volcano that could erupt at any moment. Should look older and be physically
larger than Frank. MELISSA: Debra's daughter. Loves being in dance recitals and
having her picture taken. She appears twice briefly. She is in her pre-teens.
