Cittadini e Amici!
We have been in the process of planning an innovative theatrical experiment for Melioria: the presentation of scenes from the controversial 18th century play "The Marriage of Figaro" by Pierre de Beaumarchais. We are at the point that we need to recruit movement actors and a stage manager. Rehearsals will be in June-July and first performances in mid-July.
The following roles are available for "movement actors" -- players who take part in presenting the play by moving their avatar around the stage, using specific poseballs and animations at certain times to match with recorded dialogue that will be streamed into the sim--no actual acting, reading, or writing of dialogue in chat or voice is required
Personae:
Count Almaviva, Spanish nobleman
Figaro, servant to Count Almaviva
Countess Rosine, wife of Count Almaviva
Suzanne, servant to the countess, betrothed to Figaro
Doctor Bartholo, who wishes revenge upon Figaro
Don Bazile, a music master
Cherubin, a Page, enamored with the Countess
Marceline, a woman enamored with Figaro
Beuamarchais - the playwright

We also need a stage manager who will have the following responsiblities:
Stage Manager: (in SL production)
1. Attends all rehearsals, recording the stage action for future reference.
2. Makes certain all Actors know when rehearsals are scheduled
3. Works closely with the Director
4. Runs the production on the day(s) of performance, which involves:
- Giving the signal for the start of the show, making sure all actors are there and accounted for.
- Prior to the show, checking the stage and that all pose balls and animations are working properly
- Making certain all Actors are present
- Making certain all Actors are in right places for entrances during the show..
- Making certain all Actors have the appropriate props for the scenes.
- Making certain the stage set gets changed between Acts.
- Liaises with appropriate persons if there are technical difficulties during the show.
