| Lancaster over Derwent Reservior Posted: 28 Sep 2012 07:57 AM PDT Searching for some transparencies recently, I discovered these, which I had totally forgotten about. It was many years ago (possibly 1993) and was to celebrate the Dambusters, who practiced their low flying technique over the reservoir.   What amazes me is the way in which my scanner and the "Digital Ice Technology" have removed all the nasty dust and scratch marks. |

| Casting Call: Old Joint Stock Theatre Posted: 28 Sep 2012 03:56 AM PDT CASTING CALL Friday 5th October at The Old Joint Stock Theatre Here at the OJST we are currently casting for our one woman Christmas play, The 12 Dates of Christmas, which will run from 5th-9th, 11th-15th December, directed by Richard Poynton. About the Play What happens when Mary sees her fiancĂ© making out with his co-worker on national TV at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade? She dumps him and drops her engagement ring into a Salvation Army kettle. She then spends the next year being set up, hooked up, strung up, and fed up as she navigates her life "alone" as a New York actor in her thirties—Sex and the City for real people, with no Mr. Big in sight. A delicious one-woman show about how much the holidays suck after your heart's been crushed. (For more info: www.the12datesofchristmas.com/about) We are casting the role of Mary; the actress must have a playing age of between 28-35, be very versatile and perform with convincing accents such as New York and Southern American. Rehearsals will be weekends and evenings to be arranged. The actor will be paid a percentage from the box office takings. If interested, please send a recent head shot and a short CV to twelvedatesofchristmas@gmail.com. |
