Zeitgeist Stage Season kicks-off with Albee
Zeitgeist Stage Company will kick-off its eight season with the American premiere of the original three act version of Edward Albee's Seascape, October 3 through 25 at the Boston Center for the Arts Plaza Theater.
Seascape is one of Edward Albee's most expressionistic works, depicting an encounter between a retirement age couple picnicking on a beach when they meet another couple, who happen to be lizards – as in reptiles – coming up from the depths of the ocean. Mr. Albee originally wrote Seascape as a three act play, and that version was presented in Vienna and The Hague prior to the show's Broadway premiere. The author was directing the original Broadway production, and he decided to cut it from three acts to two. As Mr. Albee told The New York Times in a 1975 interview, "At one point, part of it took place at the bottom of the sea. It was not necessary, too fantastic and very hard to construct a set that could transform itself. It was turning into a play about set changes." With the excision of the underwater act,Seascape became the well known two act version which went on to win the 1975 Pulitzer Prize. Zeitgeist Stage is pleased to have received permission directly from the playwright to present Seascape in its original three act version for the first time for an American audience. (Talk about a coup de theatre!)
Both the length and technical challenges of the three act Seascape are embraced by Zeitgeist Stage Company, renowned in Boston for their recent epic productions of Stuff Happens and The Kentucky Cycle, which both won Elliot Norton Awards for Outstanding Fringe Theater Productions. The Seascape cast features Peter Brown (Stuff Happens, The Kentucky Cycle) and Michelle Dowd (The Story, Bee-luther-hatchee) as the retirement age couple, with Claude Del (Flesh and Blood) and Emma Goodman (The Kentucky Cycle) as the lizards. The production will be directed by Zeitgeist Stage Company's Artistic Director, David J. Miller.
Bad Jazz, by Robert Farquhar, chronicles the lives of young artists in pursuit of a shared dream, as an actress takes a role that puts her sanity at risk, an actor struggles to remain true to his artistic ideals, and a director drives his company past the point of reason. When the lines between reality and performance begin to blur, relationships are tested and this group of desperate souls is forced to ask themselves how far they're prepared to go for art's sake. In The New York Times, Neil Genzlinger wrote, "The play is an all-out assault on pretentious theater directors and the idiot actors who follow their commands in the interest of realism. And Mr. Farquhar has a wonderful way of being droll and outrageous at the same time." Zeitgeist Stage will present the New England premiere of Bad Jazz from January 30 through February 21, 2009 in the Plaza Black Box Theater at the Boston Center for the Arts.
Spring Awakening, the play by Frank Wedekind, has been called the most censored play in theater history. The complete, unadulterated text was not performed until 1974, eight-two years after it was written in 1891. The play explores the conflict between repressive adulthood and adolescent sexual longings in a provincial town in Germany at the turn of the last century. Wedekind's play was the basis for the Tony Award winning musical of the same name. Zeitgeist Stage will be presenting Wedekind's original play in a new adaptation by Artistic Director David Miller based on a direct translation by Reinhold Mahler, who is both Mr. Miller's partner and a German native. The play will be presented April 17 through May 9, 2009 in the Plaza Black Box Theater at the Boston Center for the Arts. The run will overlap a few weeks with the musical Spring Awakening's National Tour which will play the Colonial Theater in Boston from April 28 through May 24, 2009. Read More / Comment

(a letter from Doug Allen, National Executive Director and Chief Negotiator, Screen Actors Guild)
August 3, 2008
Dear Screen Actors Guild Member,
Your negotiators are working every day to successfully conclude negotiations for a successor agreement to our TV/Theatrical contract. We have not yet closed the gap with the employersÂ’ negotiators, but National President Alan Rosenberg, the National Negotiating Committee co-chairs from the Regional Branch Division, New York and Hollywood and I remain focused on this effort.
Right now, that involves small group meetings and exchanges with the employers, their AMPTP representatives and a core group of leaders in both organizations. Substantive progress is more likely in a less formal atmosphere. Negotiators can talk more productively, exchange ideas and define a short path leading to a conclusion. Informal communication is routine in labor talks and, in fact, occurred in other GuildsÂ’ negotiations this year.
The full committees and relevant staff of the AMPTP and SAG together number more than 100 people. This large group is extremely effective in framing the issues in negotiations, but unwieldy as we transition to focused, directed discussion. In fact, the full 100-member negotiating group probably will not need to meet across the table again until we shake hands over a deal.
You will not doubt read spin suggesting that there is dead silence between our sides. Progress doesnÂ’t have to occur directly across a table. Discussions through alternative channels are ongoing as we work toward a fair deal for actors as soon as possible.
Your interest in and support of the key issues like jurisdiction and residuals for all new media have been invaluable to our negotiations, as was the 68-0 vote of our National Board in the resolution of July 26, 2008. This unanimous vote from the board members who represent you in the Regional Branch Division, New York Division and Hollywood Division was a meaningful reaffirmation of SAGÂ’s unity. Solidarity by the SAG Board and SAG members sends an important, powerful signal to management that efforts to divide us arenÂ’t working and that actors are united on the issues.
We also know that you remain concerned about other key bargaining priorities such as, for example, product integration, force majeure, stunt performers and background actorsÂ’ issues. Be assured that these and our other priorities continue to be in the forefront of our efforts on your behalf.
We will stay in touch with you to report on our efforts and hope that you will also stay in touch with us. Continue to email your questions and comments to Contract2008@sag.org (this is an email address not a web link).
Thank you for your continued support and solidarity.
In unity,
Doug Allen
National Executive Director and Chief Negotiator
P. S. If you have not signed on to the Solidarity Statement in support of your SAG negotiators please do so today by sending an email with your name and SAG member ID to Contract2008@sag.org.
Also, check out the list of more than 5,300 actors who have signed the Solidarity Statement. You can see the list by going to www.sag.org and clicking on the Solidarity Statement box.

In Rhode Island a Tax-Cap was passed regardless of many attempts to stop it by many of my friends. Recently a DVD series "The Clique" has decided to film elsewhere after filming the pilot in R.I. due to that same Tax Cap.
The writing on the wall is clear! If do not make our support vocal we stand to lose much more than we gain.

The Meadow, a 20-minute independent film to be shot on the Red camera, is seeking three principle actors. Shooting will take place in the Boston area from January 10th to January 16th. The film is about two lovers and the pact that they made to return to each other no matter what. We watch the protagonist, Ryan, travel literally through hell to reach the woman that he loves. Parts being cast are:
RYAN: Mid-20Â’s to mid-30Â’s. White, medium height and build. Clean cut, not overly confident or aggressive. Despite his laid back and shy nature, Ryan will do anything to reconnect with Bridget, the love of his life. He is dedicated and optimistic, and believes that the pact that he made with Bridget will allow them to overcome any obstacles.
BRIDGET: Mid-20Â’s to mid-30Â’s. Medium height, slender. Sexy, but in an understated way. Bridget is a bartender, and is very good at her job. Confident and self-assured. Wants to be with Ryan, but views the world more realistically than he does, and understands that it may not be possible.
CLIVE: Mid-30Â’s to late 40Â’s. Built like a brick house: tall and thick. Has a mean, tough, devilish exterior that matches his interior. He is a realist to the point of being pessimistic, and snarls more than he speaks. DoesnÂ’t care about anyone but himself.
Auditions will be held on Friday, November 7th, from 6:00-9:00pm at 150 Boylston Street, room 117 and on Saturday, November 8th, from 2:00-5:00pm at 150 Boylston Street, room 113.

Casting Call for Independent Short Film
Turning Point, an independent short film set in BostonÂ’s Chinatown, is seeking four principal actors, as well as two minor childrenÂ’s roles. Shooting dates are yet to be finalized, but would take place over 3-4 days in early January 2009. Please note that script is action-heavy, and so all four principal actors MUST be comfortable doing their own light-to-moderate stunt work. Characters needed are:
BRIDGET: early-to-mid-20Â’s. Main female character. Has just become engaged to her boyfriend, Ryan, when the couple are attacked in an alley by two thieves. Actor MUST be comfortable doing her own light stunt work.
RYAN: mid-to-late 20Â’s. Main male character. Has just proposed to his girlfriend, Bridget, when the couple are attacked in an alley by two thieves. Actor MUST be comfortable doing his own stunt work.
PORTER: early-to-late 30Â’s. Tall, thin, pale. One of the two thieves who attacks Bridget and Ryan. Has some sense of regret during the attack. Actor MUST be comfortable doing his own stunt work.
STEPHEN: early-to-late 30Â’s. Looming, dark, scruffy. One of the two thieves who attacks Bridget and Ryan. Shows no remorse during the attack. Actor MUST be comfortable doing his own stunt work.
BIGS: Child, can be between 8-12 years old. Mysterious and dark. Bigs is homeless, with a muddled back story, and “owns” the alley in which the attack takes place.
YOUNG RYAN: Child, can be between 8-12 years old. Only needed for one flashback scene.
Casting will take place on Sunday, October 26th, from 6:00 – 9:00pm at 150 Boylston Street, room 114 and on Tuesday, October 28th, from 6:00 – 9:00pm at 150 Boylston Street, room 232.
Attached is a .pdf version of the script. Please read through and select a portion that you would like to read as an audition. Although the two children's parts do not have lines, we are still asking all child actors to come to an audition so that we can get a sense of how you act without dialogue.
