3. Please email me
improvbostonfilm@gmail.com back with the SPECIFIC CHARACTER you are interested in reading for.
***YOU MUST BE NON SAG.
THE FOLLOWING CHARACTERS WILL NEED TO BE CAST:
-Principal Goldwater- He's a by the book kind of guy. Served in the Marine Corps in the Vietnam War. A right wing Republican, who doesn't tolerate any nonsense. He is very strict and believes one's life must have structure.
-Mrs. Wilkinson- Mother of the high school graduate who the Clowns will be performing for. A very benevolent and spirited woman. She is nice enough to allow the band to transform her basement into their own backstage, where they can party with all their friends. She is in her upper 30's/lower 40's and happens to be attractive.
-Ms. Tapioca- She is the town mayor, and it seems like she's been around as long as the town has. She's in her upper 60's and is one of the sweetest women you'll ever meet. Truly a good person. Warm, kind-hearted, but a bit naïve.
-Two girls at the poker table with the band in one of the first scenes- These two are yet to be named. They are very similar and are both in their lower 20's and attractive. They met the Clowns a night or two before at a bar and took a liking to their bizarre personalities. They are smarter than most of the band members, but happen to be outwitted by them. The Clowns leave them in a state of puzzlement. They might as well be one person, but for the scene to work we need two girls. One of them finds Danny attractive and later learns that he's gay.
-Set designers, Becky and Caitlin. They are both very down-to-earth. They love being surrounded by creative people and have very mellow attitudes. One of them finds Quintin charming. You guessed they are both attractive, but in a more bohemian/artsy kind of way. They take their fashion seriously, but don't dress like snobby, high-class girls. Both recently graduated from college, so they are in their lower 20's.
-Two record executives- One of them is a woman who finds the Clowns hilarious and enjoys their music. She's good-looking. When it comes down to it though, she is a businessperson. The other is a man whose only concern is the number of record sales they have. He tries to earn the Clowns trust, but he only wants what's best for his company. The woman is in her mid 30's, while the man is in his lower 40's.
Thank you so much, I look forward to hearing from you!
