Actors needed for short drama based in Hulme and Manchester
The drama 'Assume to Presume'(working title) is being made by students from the WFA Media & Cultural centre as their final project on the City & Guilds National Diploma.
The Drama takes place in a cafe where there are a variety of different characters who are leading quite different lives. We see these characters through the eyes of the cafe owner who is quite a judgemental person and the audience are lead to assume certain things about the characters, but as we became more aware of who the charcters are we realise just how wrong we were to assume.
Auditions will take place on Tuesday 24th May between 10am and 5pm at the WFA ( http://www.wfamedia.co.uk/comevisit.html)
*If this is inconvienent and you really are interested please ring to make other arrangements
If selected, rehearsals will take place 1st+2nd June
Shooting begins week commencing Mon 6th June (days not confirmed)
