Casting! Mirror Mates: A Two Faced Farce

Seeking:  Rupert/Rayne – A dual role - All other roles are cast.

Rupert: (Late 50’s) Long term Maxie’s Dinner Theater actor.  He’s Maxie’s former go-to “leading man” who’s moving into character actor territory.  Actually he’s bitter aging queen who’s tired and having second thoughts about how he spent his life.  He’s re-examining his values and has integrity issues. 
Rayne:  (Late 60’s) a long term resident and permanent fixture of the Mega House home.  He’s an aging queen with psychological issues who has run away from life.  He’s sarcastic, sardonic, nosey, bossy and always ready with a comment or quip, but he’s not truly bitter, more self satisfied.
Start at the very beginning:  Join in on the very first “living-room” reading of this outrageous farce by Bill Toscano.  (Get in on the ground floor.)   Other readings will follow with plans developing for a staged backers audition in the spring of 2011.   This first reading will take place on December 6th 2010 on the upper west side of Manhattan at 6:30pm until finished (– a few hours) – and surely some drinks at the end.  (– no pay)

Synopsis:   "Mirror Mates: A Two Faced Farce" is set in two rooms, at different locations, placed side by side on stage.   These separate rooms are surrounded by a myriad of hallways and doors which completely overlap.   One room is the “dressing room” backstage at a mid-level musical playhouse called “Maxie's Fabulous Dinner Theater.”  The other room is the “Rec Room” at “Mega House: Home for the Chronically Mentally Ill.”   Each of the businesses are having a particularly difficult week and ultimately “crash into each other.”  

If you are right for the role and available please email: headshot and resume to bltnyc@gmail.com   Of course, if you know me, give me a call!  Come play!
