Alice Teeter and Kathie deNobriga are making a little movie of one of Alice’s poems, “The 103rd Birthday of Emma Regina DeGraffenreid Smith.” (read it at http://www.percontra.net/13teeter.htm). The poem (a double sestina, for those in the know) was published by StarCloud Press in When It Happens to You…. by Ms Teeter, adjunct professor of poetry at Emory University.
Now it’s soon to be a Major Motion Picture, if by “major” you mean 20 minutes long and shot with one camera in one location with local (that means Atlanta) talent.
They need 4 adults (ages 30-55); 1 senior (70+); and 8 youth (ages 6-18). People will have to memorize ONE stanza (six lines, mostly). We plan on filming at the Clubhouse on Saturday, January 28 (also doubling as Alice’s birthday party). There will be one rehearsal earlier that day, with a few short rehearsals throughout January. (Schedule will be negotiable.)
Auditions will be held at the BeachHouse (call Kathie at 678-427-9673 for info and directions): you only need to come to one audition, and you don’t need to prepare anything.
- Saturday, Dec. 3 from 12:30-1:30pm
- Monday, Dec. 5 from 7:30-8:30pm
- Tuesday, Dec. 6 from 4:30-5:30pm
Costumers and other assistants also needed.
They are encouraging actors with children to audition as a family!
