Casting Call

Got this in the email box for a reading in New York:

Hello Friends!

As
many of you may of may not know, I am getting ready to launch a theatre
company I co-founded with my pal, Ryan Victor Pierce: Mixed Phoenix
Theatre Group.

We launch our reading series October 7th with
three one-act plays. One play, which is part of our evening of
one-acts, Broken English, has been a bit challenging to cast.

We
are seeking a Korean actress in her 40’s-60’s to play a mother of a man
in his 20’s. The story is about a son who struggles to be accepted as
American while holding onto acceptance from his mother’s traditional
ways.

It is a small 10-minute one act which will require one
rehearsal and be performed October 7th at Bar on A (11th Street &
Bar on Ave A) as part of our theatre company launch.
I have attached our flyer which includes our mission statement.

Please tell your friends and make reservations!
We will send our formal email blast later but this is a call for an actress which I hope you may be able to help cast.

Thanks so much and hope all are well!

Cheers,
*Danielle Soames

From PR-Inside:

Sarah Palin: 40% Chance to Take Over as President // McCain Has Only 80% Odds of Living Out A Presidency

The chances that Vice President Sarah Palin would have to take over from President John McCain if they were elected could be as high as 40%, since McCain has about a 20% chance of dying in office, and a much higher risk of becoming disabled from a variety of conditions, including a stroke or Alzheimer’s, both diseases which can impair judgment and where the risks increase very rapidly with age, notes Professor John Banzhaf of George Washington University.

Register to Vote
Sarah Palin is a great lesson on why voting matters. She won her election in Wasilla by a couple hundred votes. Only 1500 of the 7000 residents voted. Had a few more actually taken an interest in local politics back in 1992, we may not be in this very awful and potentially dangerous position we are in today with another nutjob idealogue hypocrite so close to being the most powerful person in America!

VOTE! And if you haven’t already REGISTER TO VOTE! It matters.

From MoveOn.org:

10 things you should know about John McCain (but probably don’t):

  1. John McCain voted against establishing a national holiday
    in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Now he says his position has
    “evolved,” yet he’s continued to oppose key civil rights laws.1
  2. According
    to Bloomberg News, McCain is more hawkish than Bush on Iraq, Russia and
    China. Conservative columnist Pat Buchanan says McCain “will make
    Cheney look like Gandhi.”2
  3. His reputation is
    built on his opposition to torture, but McCain voted against a bill to
    ban waterboarding, and then applauded President Bush for vetoing that
    ban.3
  4. McCain opposes a woman’s right to choose. He said, “I do not support Roe versus Wade. It should be overturned.”4
  5. The
    Children’s Defense Fund rated McCain as the worst senator in Congress
    for children. He voted against the children’s health care bill last
    year, then defended Bush’s veto of the bill.5
  6. He’s
    one of the richest people in a Senate filled with millionaires. The
    Associated Press reports he and his wife own at least eight homes! Yet
    McCain says the solution to the housing crisis is for people facing
    foreclosure to get a “second job” and skip their vacations.6
  7. Many
    of McCain’s fellow Republican senators say he’s too reckless to be
    commander in chief. One Republican senator said: “The thought of his
    being president sends a cold chill down my spine. He’s erratic. He’s
    hotheaded. He loses his temper and he worries me.”7
  8. McCain
    talks a lot about taking on special interests, but his campaign manager
    and top advisers are actually lobbyists. The government watchdog group
    Public Citizen says McCain has 59 lobbyists raising money for his
    campaign, more than any of the other presidential candidates.8
  9. McCain has sought closer ties to the extreme religious right in recent
    years. The pastor McCain calls his “spiritual guide,” Rod Parsley,
    believes America’s founding mission is to destroy Islam, which he calls
    a “false religion.” McCain sought the political support of right-wing
    preacher John Hagee, who believes Hurricane Katrina was God’s
    punishment for gay rights and called the Catholic Church “the
    Antichrist” and a “false cult.”9
  10. He positions himself as pro-environment, but he scored a 0—yes, zero—from the League of Conservation Voters last year.10
