Project: Gift Horse

Hello all!

I am helping to cast for writer-director DJ WALKER's latest short film, GIFT HORSE.

Please help us share this casting call far and wide! :) Most roles have been filled but we are still looking for a few! We are especially looking for teenagers, and they do not have to be professional actors.

    • Devon (14-19, Black, Male)
      Black fair-skinned. An air of sadness and curiosity. Values his group of friends as his chosen family.

    • Jabari (14-19, Black, Male)
      A tad timid compared to the rest of the group. When his caution is thrown to the wind, he's goofy and childlike.

    • Rick (14-19, White, Male)
      Hip-hop loving and Devon's main partner in crime. Never turns down anything that could turn into an adventure.

    • Sasha (14-19, Female) Emo looks with a punk personality. Prefers hanging out with the guys.

      Caring, warm wanting to get to the bottom of Devon's childhood trauma.

    • 40s Paul (39-49, Black)

      Younger version of a character who also shows up in his 60s in the script. Self-involved and hurt, but doing his best numb himself to avoid feeling the weight of all the loss he's had to experience.

    • 60s Paul (59-69, Black) Older version of a character who also shows up in his 40s in the script. Tired, wanting to heal his relationship with his son Devon while he still has time left.
    Haunted by a night of reckless joy with his friends, Devon, now an adult, struggles to reconcile the carefree thrill of their youthful adventure with the lasting scars it left behind. As he grapples with his troubled past and a strained relationship with his father, Devon must face the events that shaped his life and find a way to move forward.

    Project: THE STORY OF RUTH : A New Adaptation with Music

    The Salvation Army Times Square - Theatre 315 is now accepting applications for its upcoming stage production of The Story of Ruth, a new adaptation with music. This ancient biblical short story is a deeply moving narrative that explores daring faith, deep friendship, and true love when two widows band together to overcome impossible odds.

    Performance dates are Thu, Fri, & Sat evenings from Oct 31 - Nov 23 for a total of 12 shows.

    Rehearsals are scheduled every Saturday from Sep 14 - Oct 26, including two evening Dress Rehearsals on Tue Oct 29 & Wed Oct 30.

    We are seeking a total of 5 Actors for our cast.

    AVAILABLE ROLES:

    ANGEL (21 - 35, any ethnicity) the song leader and narrator of the story, who mysteriously appears and disappears throughout the show. Strong singing ability required. This role doubles with the role of Orpah.

    ORPAH (21 - 35, any ethnicity) a Moabite widow and daughter-in-law to Naomi who initially decides to join Naomi on her journey to Bethlehem. However, she ends up changing her mind and remaining in Moab. This role doubles with the role of the Angel.

    NAOMI (35 - 60, any ethnicity) a Hebrew widow and mother-in-law to Orpah and Ruth who decides to return to her home in Bethlehem after losing her husband and sons. She has endured devastating defeat and sees no way to recover from her life’s tragedies. Her name means “pleasant” but when she returns to Bethlehem she insists on being called Mara, which means “bitter”.

    RUTH (21 - 35, any ethnicity) a Moabite widow and daughter-in-law to Naomi who insists on returning with Naomi to Bethlehem. Despite Naomi’s pleading, and despite the fact Ruth will be viewed as a foreigner in Bethlehem, Ruth’s loyalty to Naomi wins out, overcoming her objections. Ruth’s continued faithfulness catapults these two widows into a promising life and unexpected ending in Bethlehem.

    BOAZ (35 - 55, any ethnicity) a wealthy Hebrew landowner in Bethlehem, and relative of Naomi. His name means “strong” and his character is impeccable. He risks his good name and reputation to help Ruth, and ends up falling in love with her.

    OVERSEER (30 - 60, any ethnicity) a servant who manages the workers harvesting in Boaz's field. He is a trusted steward of Boaz, and subtly operates as a kind of mentor as well. This role doubles with the role of Kinsman.

    KINSMAN (30 - 60, any ethnicity) a Hebrew man in Bethlehem, and relative of Naomi. He is in a unique position to help Naomi & Ruth in their widowhood, and Boaz compels him in front of the whole town to make his decision and changes the course of history for everyone.
