Producer/Writer Tobias Elmore and Lantawood Films will be holding an open audition for roles in their upcoming modern adaptation of Shakespeare's "Othello" to begin filming in Birmingham late this summer or early in the fall. The auditions will be held on July 17 at The Mt. Calvary Baptist church, 1133 Tuscaloosa Avenue in Birmingham, from 1pm to 3:30pm. Actors will be compensated, receiving a percentage share of the film's profit once is distributed. Experience is not necessary, just desire and dedication so if you've ever thought about performing in front of the camera come out to audition for any of the following roles:Othello- (African-American; early to late 30's) A strong, intimidating presence Othello is a warrior who's ferocity earns him an unusual position. He is a trusted, respected Capo working for the Italian mafia. He's usually very cool and steady in all situations until Iago uses his love for Desdemona, the daughter of another Capo, against him. Eventually paranoia and jealousy will lead him down a path of destruction that threaten everyone around him.
Iago- (Caucasian; early to late 30's) Othello's trusted right hand man, he's fought beside Othello for years. But, when Othello is promoted to Capo Iago expects a step up to be his Lt. That is until Othello selects Cassio instead, leaving Iago as a lowly street soldier. Iago refuses to be dismissed and plots to get rid of Cassio and make his old friend pay for overlooking his loyalty.
Desdemona- (Caucasian; early to mid 20's) Despite having grown up with a father in the mob Desdemona remains sweet and trusting, always focusing on the good and others and quick to give them the benefit of the doubt. The strength and nobility she sees in him leads her to marry Othello despite the objections she knows their relationship will bring.
Cassio- (Caucasian; mid to late 20's) Smart, capable and ever the lady's man Cassio is a young book maker/loan shark type who, while no stranger to violence, hasn't proven himself a soldier yet. Despite that Othello sees enough potential in to promote to his lieutenant. However, before he can truly make his mark as a soldier he will have to prove himself by "making his bones".
Emilia- (Open; early 30's) Tough and cynical she doesn't take much off anyone. Anyone except her husband Iago who she would do almost anything for despite the way he insults and berates her. Despite her cynical nature she can see the see the kind heartedness of Desdemona and seeks to protect the vulnerable young woman from the harsh realities of the lives their husbands lead.
Roderigo- (Open; mid to late 30's) A haggard, rouge, undercover federal agent who has allowed his obsession with Desdemona to drive him over the edge. It's his obsession with a woman he can never have that allows Iago to transform him into a pawn in his game of revenge.
Supporting Cast:
Bianca- (Caucasian; early to mid 20's) Cassio's love interest, physical a ringer for Desdemona.
Brabantio- (Caucasian; late 40's to early 50's) Desdemona's angry father.
The Duke- (Caucasian; late 50's or over) The Boss of Othello's family.
The Coucil- 2-3 men the same basic description as The Duke.
Gambler- Man who owes Othello money and finds out the hard way not to hold out on him.
There are also many other numerous parts for body guards, messengers, police and even a rival crew to be "whacked". For more information or to submit headshots send an email to Info@Lantawood.org with "Othello Audition" in the subject line.
