New crew member and an unrelated pigeon!

And only crew member.  With minimal persuasion and only one stick beating I’ve got the mighty Dan Simpson to join in with the Experiment bandwagon.  Despite the technical requirements of the play being beneath his quite phenomanal talent he has agreed to help out on the Sunday.

Unfortunately for him he fails to understand that since the last time he worked with me I’ve turned into an obbsesive blogger and once did a wee outside.  He will learn the hard way.  (That’s not a gay joke)

The actor search has begun in earnest, and I am hopeful that one or two will be on board by the end of the fortnight.

Right, serious stuff out of the way.  Here’s the first picture that came up when I put interesting pigeon into Google image search

Its a blue fan-tail!

Isn’t the internet amazing?

Still looking…

Still trying to appeal to Birmingham based actors who want to appear in my little play in May.  My mother has offered to talk to her friend about her friend’s son and his friends possibly appearing, but I thought it couldn’t hurt to put something on here, in case my Mother’s friend’s son’s friend’s can’t do it.

The first artwork for the play

I need one woman and two men between the ages of 20-25 and able to commit themselves to the performance at the Roundhouse theatre in London on the 24th May 2009.  Due to the amateur nature of the festival I am unable to offer expenses/any kind of money – although I may stretch to a drink after the performance ;) Because of these restrictions I would suggest that the role is more suited to students, but if you are not that doesn’t mean you won’t be considered!

For more information on the festival click here and scroll down the blog for a little more information about the play itself.

Anyone interested should contact me through the blog first, then based on interest I’ll see about setting up auditions sometime in April.

Loves

Phil
