I am casting on Thursday, May 8, Saturday, May 10, Thursday, May 15 and Saturday, May 17

 PLEASE send only talent capable of playing the roles (although this one also needs a lot of quirky “Napoleon Dynamite” actors for one-liners).  Any actor that confirms an audition and does not show up without an excellent reason will be put a ‘no audition’ list for the future. If they can’t show up to an audition, I have doubts that they will show up on set
