Hi all!
Greenhills Variety Group are currently rehearsing for the panto 'Snow White and the Artful Dodgers' which will be staged in Greenhills Community Centre from 4-9th Jan 2010
We are in desperate need of a man (!) to play Garda Moriarity, a guard form the country who spend his days ensuring everyone is on the right side of the law. Being panto, he doesn't always get it right!
We have a fantastic cast on board and it's shaping up to be a great show
If you are interested please PM me for all the details!
Hoping to hear from you soon!

Hi we're a troupe continually requiring dancers.
Our main areas are Can Can (burlesque), Go Go, and Theatrical.
Our Go Go project is the most demanding at the moment :
The troupe has 5 women so far, but we want more so we have 8. We have a short sixties style Go Go routine in full Go Go dress and boots.
The aim of the group is to have a good time and a bunch of gigs -- as well as a bit of charity performing. This is completely open to different levels of dance experience.
If you are interested, please send a private message to me with your details. I will provide more information about us.
Our next rehearsal (try out) is 9 December, and each Wednesday after. Excluding the holidays.
Thanks!

Extras are required for a scene in a short film which is being filmed in Dublin on the 9th February.
The film is a short film which is a student project. It is an exciting scene based in a dark mystical market. The market folk are the extras that are needed.
The extras will not be paid unfortunately but it will be a good day and great experience for anyone who wants to take part.
To note: All extras will be provided with a DVD and a credit! Thanks
For Further info contact: cleomc@gmail.com
Thanks so much everyone !

I'm the PA on this production.
I'm sure if our production was to win, actors would then receive some sort of payment, as it's only fair.
Cast and crew who have worked on the production would be entitled to a share of the prize fund.
However, for the time being, considering our budget is at zero, we won't be able to offer any on screen talent payment.
What we can offer any actors interested is a high-quality piece for their CV, a copy of the production and a friendly working environment.
We also hope to provide any food or drink requirements free of charge.
Thanks for responding Fair play for considering that...I recommend then that you mention it in your call that a set amount (however small) will be given to cast and crew, should the project win. You don't have to quote the amount on here, but you should let actors know this before you shoot. If not it is yet another *nebulous* factor imo!
You do mention 'on screen' talent. Just curious as to whether any key crew are being paid?
The director mentioned that he/she is a first time director. I humbly suggest then that unless the actor is a first time actor, they may have more experience than the director, and are not *guaranteed* a 'high quality' piece for their CV (not saying you won't make one! Just there is no guarantee, and less so with a non-experienced director).
A non contract shoot should always provide a copy of the completed film (it costs about 3 quid)...
To be honest, saying you will provide food and drinks 'free of charge' is quite insulting. Food is a NECESSITY on any shoot, not some kind of payment.
There is a movement in Equity and among many other groups to change this culture of 'No-pay' 'work' for actors.
Also an absolute basic should be transport costs, and accommodation, if overnight.
It's crazy to think that an actor should be *out of pocket* for working, yet many do it, and that's half the issue (another story, but often you do get what you pay for!!).
Both professional actors and amateur actors, as well as those in between, check the boards. Perhaps first time directors should advertise for first time actors etc?
Plenty of bad habits can be learned by a new actor on a novice set.
Sorry if I seem harsh, but if it were any other profession, (some having trained sometimes for 4 or 5 years at your skill, not to mention experience), this situation would not be the norm.0 -

As much as i do appreciate your reply, and yes should the production win of course the actors would be compensated,HOWEVER i dont appreciate you saying that because i am a first time director, i will not produce a top quality piece, i am currently working my ass off to get the best possible cast, i have the best crew i could ask for, who are behind me 100% if my piece was noit considered to be good, it would not have gone into production. simple as. Now I AM a first time director but im certainly not new to this, i have worked on many shoots before, ive done every other job there is to do, i am well experienced. and perfectly capable. thank you.
Now i do not want to get into a boards debate, i have taken the positive points out of your posts, i.e what i should have posted. and am happy to leave it at that, and Andrea, Fair play to ya!
So if any Actors Novice or experienced are willing to help out, i will consider all.
Thank you0 -
