Actors Wanted

Page 13

Bob Rock Productions is placing a casting call for its upcoming early

summer production of The Missing Bell of Batoche. This play-teleplay

(which will be aired over the provincewide BBS Saskatchewan Television

Network during the fall of 1996) will premiere on stage at the Carlton

Cafetorium in Prince Albert, Sask. from June 28-30. The teleplay

portion will be recorded between June 15 and June 28. Rehearsals begin

on June 8.

The Missing Bell of Batoche was written by Bob Rock, who is also the

project's creative director and video director. Darryl Lindenbach is

the stage director and Jacqueline Guedo is the play-teleplay's stage

manger, set artist, storyboard artist and graphic artist.

Bob Rock Productions is searching for a Louis Riel type of

approximately 40 years old. The character has dark hair and a dark

beard. Experienced Metis actors and actresses will be given first

preference for all roles.

Other performers are sought to fill the roles of a female storyteller,

aged 15 or 16; a SUNTEP school teacher, aged 40 to 45. Auditions for

the show will be held in early May in various locations around

Saskatchewan.

If you think you might be right for any of these parts, memorize a

passage from a well-known work such as The Trial of Louis Riel, perform

the passage into a portable videocamera and send along a VHS copy (along

with a resume of your acting experience) to Bob Rock, 309-21st St. West,

Prince Albert, Sask. S6V 4J2

If you would like to volunteer for parts as extras or as voluntary

stage crew call the numbers listed below. All extras and stage crew

will be recognized on the teleplay's credit roll.
