The Muses: Memories of a House is a collaborative piece that centers around a home and the different people who have lived their lives inside it. While traveling around this beautiful house and sculpture garden, audience members will happen upon moments in these individuals lives, blurring the line between real life and the theatre.

An angelic revolt, urban chaos, social disorder, and personal struggle all figure prominently in Jose Rivera's 1991 drama Marisol going up in late September 2008 @ the Off-Center.

Without her guardian angel, Marisol ~ an Everywoman ~ struggles to live her life with some sense of normalcy.

We are casting for the following roles:

Marisol-Hispanic American Female, young and beautiful, unaware of her strength.

Angel-African American Female, a fallen angel and Marisol's guardian.

June-Irish American Female, works with Marisol and caretaker for her brother Lenny.

Be A Zombie in Hazmat J's Downtown Shoot Sunday the 25th

Attention horror fans!

This is our last big zombie day for Hazmat J, until we begin production on the third episode, Doin' It With Stiles, several months later.
This will be a fun day complete with gut-ripping, car bashing, Hazmat chasing, and frightened newsmen. We're recreating a scene from Zombabies, but with a very new, comical approach to it. If you were in the alley scene in Zombabies, your participation in this scene would help SO much.

We need at least 40 zombies for this day! Bring a friend!

We are meeting in the alley between 6th and 7th, on Brazos, right across from the Driskell. Parking is free on Sundays, so parking shouldn't be a problem for anyone. We expect make-up to be done by 10:00 a.m., and to shoot until 3 p.m. We will have plenty of bottled water and food.

Please RSVP to let us know if you're available. This way, we can keep a tally for how many meals will need to be provided.

Thanks to everyone who helped make the battle at the Capitol a success. That was definitely a fun day, to say the least . If you were a part of the Capitol shoot, it'd be great to have you back for the alley shoot, too!

Thanks everyone,

Justin Warren
Director

Synopsis
Britney is pregnant. See, there was this party. In a spirit of fun and fancy free and whore-ishness, she decided to have sex with four different guys at that party: Travis, the community college student who divides his time between his one class and seducing high school girls, Marcus, the wanna-be rapper but current Verizon employee that talks a lot of game, as long as his girlfriend isn't around. Brett, a reservist, recently returned from Afghanistan who uses his military status for sympathy, and Jerry, the god-fearing church youth group intern.

None of this was good news to Britney's overbearing, steadfastly catholic, lawyer of a mother, Mrs. Parker. Nor would it be good news to Britney's father, Mr. Parker, that is if he hadn't given up on life long ago, and didn't spend his days in his bathrobe drinking and wishing Mrs. Parker would give him back some portion of control over his life. Mrs. Parker decides that rather than just have them take simple DNA tests, she would like to meet the four boys, and destroy them (or their spirits, at least). She invites them over to the Parker residence and interrogates them one by one as only a lawyer would. Only, they're not as intimidated, or as cooperative as she would like.

We are seeking actors for the following roles:

BRITNEY PARKER- about 18, White

MARCUS - early 20s, Black

JERRY - early 20s, White

BRETT- mid 30s, White

MRS. PARKER - Mid to late 40s, White

MR. PARKER- Late 40s, White

PASTOR TIM- late 30s, White - Youth Pastor at a big church. Less concerned with ministry and more concerned with being cool and playing golf.

LATISHA- early 20s, Black - Girlfriend of Marcus. She comes in near the end and busts up the scene. She isn't afraid to let her opinion be heard.
