LOUIS SR [50s] - Native American. Louisa's father. He regrets watching his daughter go down the same path. Great sense of humor and uses it to his advantage. Works as a counselor and sometimes forgets not to be on the job with his family. Rotund. MAN [60s] - Native American. Trickster. Wild. Smart but sometimes does not see the outcome of his actions.

Any suggestions as to where to post an ad or who to call would also be appreciated as well! thanks so much for your help!

Friday, July 16. 2010PA Project Audition
Vik - late-20's/early 30's - male - Caucasian - prefer athletic body build but will consider smaller, leaner body type
Vik is hot, arrogant, controlling, and sometimes violent. He feeds off of people's weaknesses, but, he also knows that he 'needs' these people around him in order to feel good about his misused existance. Image is everything to Vik, which explains why he is so demanding of his average, girl-next-door girlfriend, Casey. Vik expects everything to be done for him, as he likes it, when he likes it. He definitely has an Adonis-problem. Vik takes great care of his physical appearance and never allows a hair out-of-place. He's all that and he knows it - and doesn't mind flaunting it either. He takes great pride in his image, body, mind and status. He has a younger sister named Sacha, who makes him feel uncomfortable, a syndrome that's plagued him since childhood. Vik is Russian by nationality but prefers the European life, or high American life, most of all. Since he has turned his back on all things Russian, he doesn't have any accents or habits that would label him as such. To everyone around him, he is "Vik"... the suave, sophisticated, arrogant, American playboy. **Role demands that the actor be willing to have free Russian voice coaching for occasional use of authentic Russian dialogue and that he be versatile in level of emotions, such as arrogance, desperation, brokenness, and sophistication. AUDITIONS are Thursday, July 22nd at 3:30pm (sharp), on the 3rd floor of the Student Union Building on the UNM main campus. If cast, the actor must be able to attend the 2nd cast/crew meeting the following Sunday, July 25th, at 3pm. Anyone interested should send their electronic headshot/resume (and demo if available) to: paproject@hotmail.com ABOUT The PA Project: The PA Project is a new TV show, created by Bre Stephens, that will be airing on ABQ Channel 27. The goal of the show is to showcase all of the talent that resides in and around Albuquerque. Position is UN-paid but the EXPOSURE has great potential. Not only will the show be shown on local TV but it will also be streamed live on the station's website. With this online presence, the show can potentially go world-wide.
