oops.. I meant to send the following sooner -- sorry. Hope some of you can help Yassaman out on this project:

From: Yassaman Hajivalizadeh <[email protected]>
I am a third year law student at MSU, and in order to raise money for the House of Promise (which houses victims of human trafficking) I am putting on a dance and theatrical show in March called CRIES FOR FREEDOM A Depiction of Modern Day Slavery in the U.S.

Luckily, I have enough dancers, I am only short on actors. A few of my actors have dropped out last minute and I am desperate to replace them. I was informed that you may be able to help me find actors, I appreciate any help you can provide.
All the dancers and actors are volunteering their time, the show will be raising funds for the House of Promise.

I would like the actors to be at least 18 years old. The following is the list and description of the roles:

        5 Police Officers: Male or Female, age 18 plus. There will be two scenes, with none to very minimal speaking. The Scenes will consist of the officers walking on the stage and arresting people.

        4 Jons. Male, age 21 plus. Very minor speaking parts ( a sentence or two).

        1 Prosecutor. Female, age 25 plus. She will have two scenes with speaking parts.

Here is  the rehearsal schedule, I understand that the actors may not be able to attend these times and I am willing to work around their schedule.  Currently, the rehearsals are being held at MSU College of Law, however, as the date of the event gets closer, rehearsals will be held at one of the dance studios on campus.

Actors ONLY
        Sunday Feb 16 @ 1:30-3:30pm viewing of all the completed scenes
        Monday Feb 24 @ 5:45-7:15pm viewing of all the scenes in the show

About TTE:  Transforming Theatre Ensemble is housed in the Office for Inclusion and Intercultural Initiatives.  We use theatre to initiate dialogues about bias, privilege, and oppression.  TTE performs various interactive sketches that depict campus life, so we are looking for a diverse group of actors to fill roles ranging from students to faculty to staff.  This is a paid acting job, though we welcome folks with little to no acting experience.  The time commitment varies depending on the number of performance requests and your availability.  We are flexible in terms of scheduling and work around classes, work, and any other commitments.  All are encouraged to audition, though we are particularly looking to add seasoned/mature actors to the ensemble who can play faculty.
When:  Sun. SEPT. 15th, 5-7pm   &   Mon. Sept. 16th, 5-7pm. 

                 Call 517-353-3922 to sign up for a ten minute time slot.

Where:  MSU, Snyder-Phillips Hall, Abbott Room, 1st floor on the Phillips side, near the entrance of The Gallery cafeteria. 
What to bring:  Your complete work/school/other schedules and a resume. 

What to be prepared for:   This will be a very laid-back, low-stress audition in which you do a "cold reading" from a script that we’ll provide for you.  We’ll also do a brief interview so we can get to know you.  Please avoid wearing perfume, cologne, essential oils, or other scented products to accommodate those with allergies and chemical sensitivities.
