CALL FOR SUBMISSION: FRINGE, AUDITIONS - TORONTO
------------------------------------------------
JASMINE
Playwright: Norman Lup-Man Yeung
Director: Keira Loughran

Seeking 1 female actor of to play The Mother.  The character is Chinese.
The actor should be 30 - 60 and comfortable speaking Cantonese.  The
play is 99% English.  Accents are not a problem.  No need to read
Chinese.

The Mother is a lead role that offers the actor an enormous amount of
material to explore.

Performances: August 2 - 12, 2007, at SummerWorks Theatre Festival in
Toronto
Rehearsals: beginning mid-June, flexible schedule

JASMINE is produced by the same team that staged the critically
acclaimed, box-office success PU-ERH at SummerWorks 2005.  JASMINE is
the sequel to PU-ERH, which NOW Magazine designated a Critic's Pick and
Outstanding New Play.

JASMINE: 

Mother cannot forgive her son for abandoning the family.  The son
returns after years of absence.  Although she is lonely and would love
to have her son come home, Mother is reluctant to make amends.

JASMINE examines what it means to be young and ambitious in China during
the Cultural Revolution, young and limited in Canada as an immigrant,
and being married and a 
mother for the rest of one's life.  

JASMINE is a portrait of a Chinese-Canadian family who are not recent
immigrants, but long-established Canadians who have endured the
destructive effects of moving away.  JASMINE is the North American
Dream, the New World Dream, shown in realistic light.

Auditions will be held on Sunday, April 29, 2007.  We could possibly see
you at another date (we'll discuss).

Submit your headshot and resume until April 25 to:
jasmine.play at gmail.com

We will contact you with further details and excerpts from the script.

The production will work under Equity's Fringe Waiver arrangement.

Equity members participating in this production will be signed to a
Fringe waiver and all net proceeds from the production will be divided
