"In This Place" is a story about the effects of globalization on the individual and family life.

Synposis:

Jane moves back home to help discover herself as an artist, only to be left alone as each of her family members announces their departure. With each of them retreated to different corners of the globe, Jane uses her imagination to escape the loneliness and isolation she feels and in so doing discovers what she ultimately wants: a stronger connection with her family.


Characters:

Jane: mid 20's, undergoing a quarter-life crisis. Earnest, spunky, and imaginative- but lost. The eldest.

Harrison: early 20's; eccentric, brilliant, understated, zen-like. The middle child.

Mark: late teens/early 20's, self-centered (mostly because he's the youngest). Gets by on his good looks and charisma, though often hides behind an air of indifference.

Grant administrator: M/F, mid 30's-mid 50's. Tongue-in-cheek.

Mr. and Mrs. Stampe: M & F, early-mid 50's. A bit out of touch; young at heart, but definitely not hip.

West African security guard: M/F, mid 20's- mid 40's. Stoic. Non-speaking role.

Dates:

The film will be shot on 35mm and 16mm, in early December. Auditions will be ongoing over the next several weeks.

Please contact the director for sides and an audition time.

American Premiere
OPHELIA

Five women portray different fragments of Ophelia’s shattered mind while creeping between the pages of Shakespeare’s Hamlet.

The performance will run 3 weeks at the Blue Theatre, from Nov. 6th – Nov. 23. Rehearsals begin September 24. This production will also be submitted to numerous fringe and international festivals.

This production of Ophelia is written and directed by Artistic Director Dustin Wills (formerly of the Teatro L’Arciliuto in Rome, Italy)
