An Evening With My Comatose Mother

Dorothy Pritchard thought she had it easy: housesit for the Poe's on Halloween night while making out with her boyfriend. But when her boyfriend dumps her, and Mrs. Poe's comatose mother demands attention, Dorothy's night just got a whole lot more difficult... especially when it
turns out she's spending the night with the hosts of Hell.

Auditions will be held on Wednesday, August 4th. Craze Agency has a specific time slot of 1:40PM through 2:45 PM.

CHARACTERS:

Dorothy Pritchard: A mature, attractive, and personable girl in her late teens with an edge.
Dorothy has a lot of spunk, but at the same time, she is no hero. She's been asked to housesit the Poe's household during Halloween night, and the job seems easy enough. That is until the Poe's introduce her to the comatose Grandmother who rots away in the upstairs bedroom. Dorothy's night just got a lot more complicated, and to make matters worse, her boyfriend dumps her on what was supposed to be a fun, unforgettable Halloween night. The only thing that can make the evening worse is the
fast approaching thunderstorm... and an evil clown doll.

18-24 (if not this age, must be able to look it), Female Caucasian, but open to other ethnicities to portray the character. Think Neve Campbell from the "Scream" franchise Mature, but still a teenager
Has a bratty side. Not a waif. Needs to have a commanding presence. Ability to show fear, and strength. Needs to have good comedic timing. Would love to find a girl who has "star" potential.

Alice Poe: A sophisticated woman with class and personality. In the Poe household, she's the go-getter. It's her house, her designs, and her way. Through her contacts, she's contacted Dorothy to come housesit the home during as she and her husband go out to the Halloween ball at the Governor's mansion. Unwittingly, she forgot to tell Dorothy about her comatose mother that lives in the upstairs bedroom... the mother who still has a bizarre hold of her even after all the years that she's been staring at nothing but a fly on the wall.

Mid 40's to early 60's, Female Caucasian. Must have a great personality, and their own personal sense of style. Perhaps a bit flirty. Looking for a very, very good actress who can flip on the switch between
comedy and drama in an instant.

Russell Poe: The husband of Alice Poe. Russell is an easy-going, successful man. He lets his wife do all the talking because life is just easier that way, especially if he can eat cereal whenever he wants. In the end though, Russell is the sensible one of the couple, and is the perfect compliment to Alice. Now, if only Russell can get those damned stuffed animals out of Alice's mom's room... especially that big ol' clown doll.

Mid 40's to early 60's, Male Caucasian. Needs to have a sense of humor. Can pull off being successful with effortless charm

Tiny Tim:
God blesses everyone. Except, it seems, Tiny Tim. He's a rambunctious little brat, more creepy than he is charming. Yet, he sure would be a cute kid... if his eyes weren't gouged out.

Male or Female child, 6-13. MUST be able to do an English accent.Would prefer longer hair. No braces

Grandmother: The only thing worse than bad plumbing is a comatose Mother living in your upstairs basement. Surrounded by her collection of dolls, Mother isn't too much of a burden, particularly because she doesn't really talk much. Yet, it seems as if that despite her constant staring off into the deep abyss of nothingness, she can hear everything that happens in the house... and she especially seems to dislike house-sitters.

Male or Female, late teens to early 30's. Must be tall, slender, and athletic. The more gaunt the better
Will be wearing heavy prosthetic makeup. Needs to be able to cackle, and bring a wicked sense of humor to the role. If you are a fan of the Evil Dead trilogy, you have a big leg up on the
competition. Willing to endure long hours in heavy makeup under hot lights
