The Boards -- CASTING -- Sunday

[apples-n-poetry.livejournal.com]

Given the... diversity... of the auditions he had received on Wednesday, Genesis was in a fine mood as he picked idly through his scripts today. He smirked a bit, wondering at what reactions they would get upon seeing his chosen script for the play. Everything, of course, was already set up.

The people of Fandom were certainly enthusiastic, even if the majority of them had little skill to speak of. But some of them, some of them had potential.

And some of them just greatly amused him.

Which was its own value, push come to shove.

Casting for Snow White
Cast and crew needed! Free food and drink available!

As people do, oui.

Casting

For those wanting to act!

Jack meandered into the theater. "There is food and drink available?" he asked hopefully.

That part of the sign had stood out to him. Casting for a play...less so.

Re: Casting

[apples-n-poetry.livejournal.com]

Genesis smoothly closed the script he'd been rereading and glanced at the man.

... And resisted the urge to sigh. What was he wearing?

"For those who wish to tryout for the play, yes," Genesis said smoothly. "Would you be interested in that?"

Re: Casting

[capt-maxfactor.livejournal.com]

"It depends," Jack decided after a moment of thought. "Is it very good food and drink?"

Triela, for once, didn't have orders to do something she wasn't excited about doing. It wasn't that she was opposed to the idea of acting, but she decided that trying something more... official might enhance her skills.

And wouldn't that show stupid Alessandro?

"You're looking for cast." Yeah. Good opening line, Triela.

Re: Casting

[apples-n-poetry.livejournal.com]

"And you can read," he said, smirking. "Well done. Are you interested in trying out?"

Re: Casting

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

"Yes."

Wait.

"What is involved?"

Re: Casting

Elphaba hadn't arrived to audition or any such thing. She'd come to see how the theater compared to those back in Oz, and for that she hung back a bit, and looked everything over. It wasn't like the traveling theaters you got in Munchkinland, that was certain. But it had something rather interesting about it all.

Lurline help her if anyone noticed her lurking, though...

Re: Casting

[apples-n-poetry.livejournal.com]

Genesis noticed her lurking. He also took in the way she lurked and how little she wanted to be noticed and rolled that over in his head while deciding how to deal with that.

He could use another actress, after all...

"Good afternoon," he said lightly. "A fan of the theatre, are you?"

Re: Casting

[didntchewgrass.livejournal.com]

"I haven't had enough of a chance to become one," Elphaba said. "But I would say I find it more enjoyable than the television, if you ask me."

She may have been lurking, but that didn't mean she wouldn't speak her mind.

Robin came in, very excited at the opportunity to audition for another play.

"Hi!"

Re: Casting

[apples-n-poetry.livejournal.com]

Genesis... heard the voice.

And looked around. Then looked down.

...

"Are you... quite alright?"

Re: Casting

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"Uh huh!" Robin said, not un-used to this reaction. "My name's Robin. I'd like to audition for the play."

It was, in point of fact, Sara's dream to be an actress one day, and why wait until that nebulous someday when an opportunity such as this presented itself right here in Fandom, right now?

Now that she wasn't distracted by mean-spirited root vegetables, she was only too happy to traipse down to the theater -- garbed in one of the brilliant red dresses her father had sent her from Paris, which all of Carlisle looked upon in scandalized horror, and a wreath of flowers crowning her hair -- and present herself with a flourish.

"Is this where we sign up to audition for the play, I'd like very much to try out, if you please," she announced in her most charming tone.

Re: Casting

[apples-n-poetry.livejournal.com]

Genesis had thought, truly he had after talking to the frog, that he was done being surprised by who was interested in trying out for the play.

The difference, in this girl's case, was that Genesis was bemused by her obvious dressing up for the situation. At least, so he assumed that she did not always dress as such.

"Then, of course, you will get to try out," Genesis said, offering the girl a smile as he approached. He was a tall man, with auburn hair wearing a long red leather jacket over a great deal of black. "I am Genesis Rhapsodos, the director."

Re: Casting

[isntabitpretty.livejournal.com]

No, she didn't normally dress up to this extent, but having limited experience with actually trying out for plays (read: none at all, unless you counted the Carlisle school concerts, in which everyone was required to take part anyhow) Sara had deemed it necessary to make the best possible impression. Truly, the impression made upon her by his striking outfit was considerable itself.

"Genesis Rhapsodos," Sara echoed as if trying out the sound of the name; it must have sounded fine in her estimation, since she beamed. "Sara Stanley, and I'm pleased to meet you, sir. I've several things memorized, unless you'd prefer I read something else entirely; I don't mean to sound terribly green, only I've never actually had a chance to audition for something before."

It was too exciting! Rinoa had to scurry downtown and at least try to join this play that seemed to be going on. How wonderful!

And so Rinoa swept into try-outs, trying not to seem nervous. But she was more excited than anything else, so there.

"Am I too late?" she asked.

Re: Casting

[apples-n-poetry.livejournal.com]

"Absolutely not," Genesis said, glancing up from where he'd been reading. "As I'm the one that sets the hours, you're right on time."

It helped that he lived above the theatre. Made things easy if they ran late.

"I am Genesis Rhapsodos," he continued, getting up with a faint bit of a smile. "The owner and director."

Re: Casting

[angelo_wings]

"Rinoa Heartilly," she said. "Student. Strategist for a resistance movement."

And Sorceress, but that one didn't get such a great reaction out of people. (At least, not back home.)

"I don't have anything prepared," she admitted. "Were we supposed to?"

Crew (-ing)

[apples-n-poetry.livejournal.com]

For those wanting to be part of the crew!

Talk to Genesis

[apples-n-poetry.livejournal.com]

If you have something unrelated to the above options to say to him!

Re: Talk to Genesis

[raspberryturk]

Reno wasn't here to audition, no.

Hell, Reno wasn't even here to offer his skills in any aspect of the theater here, really. But there was a name that he'd heard on the radio, and it had damn near made him choke on his drink at the time when he'd realized that the name 'Genesis' was being mentioned in conjunction with the playhouse, and maybe there wasn't just some kind of freaky similarity going on, there.

And so he'd grabbed an apple from the food table, and was now idly tossing it back and forth from hand to hand, keeping an eye open to see if he could spot the director. So far as he could figure, if it was the same guy, he wouldn't be easy to miss.

Re: Talk to Genesis

[apples-n-poetry.livejournal.com]

The director had taken a momentary break from pacing on the stage to go up and inspect his lighting. The girl, Claudia, had not been impressed by it.

He didn't know enough about it to know why she was so dismissive of it but it was his property and so he'd been looking up a few things and trying to guess how it might have failed to be adequate in her eyes.

Nonetheless, a break couldn't last for long and soon enough he came back down, looking exactly how he was supposed to look and most likely not at all what his new--visitor--cared for.

"Turk." Both a greeting and a question and dismissal all in one work. Genesis was good at that.

OOC

[apples-n-poetry.livejournal.com]

I will be out for, like, two hours this afternoon, but otherwise around all day.

SP for any thread here is utterly awesome and I swear I will not drop your threads. Unless LJ eats my notifs again, in which case poke me to pick it up as it is not deliberate, I swear.
