    I am ready for another wonderful adventure in the heart of humanity and to show my passion through theatre, and to inspire others to love with unity and grace :) I am passionate and eager for a challenge.

  10. I know that God has blessed me with a gift to act. I am really eager and excited to get a chance to show my natural gift. I have not had any professional experience, but I have directed and participated in several church plays, was a memeber of the drama club in high school, and took a theatre class in College. If I could act everyday for the rest of my life that would be a dream come true. If I was able to get up everyday and truly do something for a living that I absolutely love doing would be the best thing ever! I am a humble individual, that loves life and I would love to share my talent with you!

I am in Advanced Theatre at school, as well as the Theatre Club. I have also trained with JRP and i have a full resume ready to go. I am available and ready to act!

  12. I have done a few gigs when I was a child and was told that I was a natural at what I would love to be given the chace to see if you a

  13. I feel that I should be considered to play Cassie. I have the potential to be whatever I put my mind to. I love acting amongst several other things. I’ve acted in my college production of For Colored Girls.

  14. I can do all things in Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13
    I am the new face that Hollywood and the entire world has been waiting for and I have talent that is beyond one’s wildest dream. I am a hard worker and love people…hey…I’m your girl… TRUST.

  15. This is my time! I want to see what is in ME! I want what’s on TV. I want to fly, perform and be free. That’s why the next big African American Actress (pardon…acTORR) should be me!

  16. I am a playwright searching for an African-American male actor in his forties
    or fifties. The one act play, “The Ousiders” will be performed in the Arts Center
    in Sandisfield, Ma. on July 9. Relatively little rehearsal required. The character
    is that of an ex-civil rights worker turned cynic in the late 1980s. Please contacdt
    me directly with a phone number. Sandisfield is in western Ma. near Great Barrington.

  17. I should be considered as an actress in this African American play because I have the potential, ambition and the faith that it takes to get there. Acting has always been an extremly-high quality that I’ve possessed. It wasn’t until I was asked a question by a, friend, “When are you going to start living in the reality of your dreams?” That I realized that it was in that moment it became clear to me that in order to get what I’ve never had, I must do what I’ve never done. This will not only be the first step I take in pursuing my dream but also proving to myself that I can be considered for the African American actress audition.

  18. I should be considered for the African American Actress audition because I fit the criteria for both Cassie and Olivia. I am 28. I can be light skinned or dark skinned, depending on who I’m standing next to. I believe I fit the fast track qualities of Olivia; I’m a mother of two, full time job (military) and I am a full time nursing student. I am from Mississippi, so I know I possess the smart talking qualities of Cassie. Acting is what I’ve always dreamt of doing. I would be honored if you give the oppourtunity to experience my dream.

    Thank you.

  19. I would love to be considered for this Audition because I am greatly passionate about acting. I perfer the dramatic style versus comical because I am a very dramatic person. Many people compare me to the female version of Johnny Deep because I love playing characters that have a weird , odd , or generally unusal air about them. I have taken part in many school productions and currently take classes at Hartford Childrens Theatre ( Acting classes, plays, and Vocal lessons).
    I never leave the stage with a bad review and if I do i must make sure that I make up for it. I always five 100% and never expect anything less wether it be form directors or other cast members. My Personality is Spunky and super Nerdy but I can be morphed to fit any role, I am not limited.
    Thank you

  20. LITERACY Through EDUCATION is my theme for wanting to audition for plays and movies. Not only am passionate about acting in the film industry, but I am passionate about educating our kids. As a educational administrator, I would like to empower all students to enjoy reading, acting and speaking, as those three are liken to faith, hope and charity, with the greatest being charity and of those three, acting is the greatest. Overall, I have interpersonal school, very discipline and most of all creative.

  21. I believe I should be considered because acting is a large part of my soul. I haven’t been in any plays or musicals since high school which was 8 years ago, but the desire and excitement of becoming one with an unknown character is still very much strong. God bless it…I hope I get it.

  22. I would love to be considered for the African American actress audition because I am ready to step out on faith and see what my dreams look like in reality. I’ve never acted before professionally but, I would love the opportunity.

    Thank You
