As the tan fades and the summer nights get shorter, kick off a new season—and a new school year—with classes at Taproot Theatre’s Acting Studio. Featuring the popular Drama with Your Mama for toddlers and their caregivers, a number of opportunities for kids and teens, and the brand-new Professional Actor Conservatory for adults, there’s something for all ages this fall quarter.

Going Deeper with the Basics, the first class offered by Taproot’s Professional Actor Conservatory, provides adults with scene work study that will help them delve into characters and deepen their storytelling skills. Taught by Los Angeles actor and director Marianne Savell, students will learn techniques and skills from a master storyteller that will unlock new doors in their performance ability.

Fall quarter runs September 9 through December 7. Registration is open now. Classes are held at Taproot Theatre (204 N 85th St.) and Timberlake Church-Ballard (1460 NW 73rd St.) in Seattle. Drama with Your Mama is taught in both Seattle and Shoreline. Registration forms and class descriptions are available online at www.taproottheatre.org, or contact Taproot’s Acting Studio at (206) 529-3668 or studio@taproottheatre.org.

All the characters are friends and players in a Dungeons & Dragons game. The play tells the story of what happens when one of the group enlists to go to Iraq, and the group comes apart as a consequence.

NOTE: With the *possible* exception of JOHN ALEX, none of these characters are stereotypical geeks. They are attractive, relatively well-adjusted adults who happen to play D&D

JOHN FRANCIS (This role has been CAST): Late 20s - early 30s, good-looking, intelligent. Sensitive and introspective. The Dungeon Master.

JOHN ALEX: Late 20s - early 30s, good comic timing, almost any type. JOHN FRANCIS's best friend. Curses almost as an artform. His character, SPANGO, is simpler and more heroic -- the man JOHN ALEX wishes to be.

JASON: Late 20s - early 30s. A sensitive, intelligent "jock". Should be handsome and athletic. One character calls him "A good Marine waiting to happen".

TARA: Late 20s - early 30s. A smart, attractive young woman with a huge (mutual, unconsummated) crush on JOHN FRANCIS.

LINDA (This role has been CAST): Late 30s - early 40s. A curvy Earth Mother-type. Curses like a sailor, totally at home in her own skin. The mother of the group. She and BRANDON are about a decade older than the others.

BRANDON: Late 30s - early 40s. LINDA's husband. Average dad, a Redskins fan. Doesn't care a whit about D&D, but plays because his wife loves it. Quiet, unassuming, and very wise.

'Fatima has a hard time remembering her job, but she never gives up and her perseverance wins her the respect of all the other fairies.' 

OPEN CALL: Sunday, June 27th at 6:30pm at Faith Lutheran Church in Redmond.  (9041 166th Ave NE, Redmond, WA, 98052-3709)  Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script.
