Initial Itch returns to the 13th Note on August 2nd with Resident Musician Matt Regan and we're looking for folk to fill the bill.

This is an invitation to

PERFORM your own writing; stand-up comedy; monologues
PLAY music; games; musical games
SCREEN films; documentaries; powerpoint presentations
RANT about local politics; about the mercury prize nominations; about Comic Sans MS

These are all, of course, only examples. You've got 10 minutes, do what you will.

Looking for an actress for thirty page show reel film, shot in and about Glasgow. The film is entitled Lounge Lizards and portrays cynical modern romance and relationships.

I'm looking for an actress, 21 to 28, reasonably attractive (are you allowed to say that?) , funny, for the lead role. The plan is to shoot for one day a week, more than likely a Sunday, in the studio for the six days, then location for a further three days. With a couple of days of rehearsals before hand and a few hours mid week , it is quite a big commitment but to make you feel better you should probably look at it like lots of little commitments.

If you fancy getting involved in on what is hopefully an enjoyable collaborative experience that you can be proud of and be able to stick on you CV, then this is for you.

This is sadly unpaid, but if you have a real interest and want to read the script, give me an email on richie.cunningham@live.co.uk or a text/ call on : 07981502665.
Cheers

Writer and Performer Gracey Flair will perform her debut play in
Sloans Bar
108 Argyle Street, City Centre
Glasgow
On Saturday 14th August
At 7.30pm

“D’Yi Mind? A’m Tryin’ ‘Ae Blossom Here!” is a completely unique sparkling piece of work. Gracey strips away the layers of her life, dishing out laughter and tears with such an honesty that the audience are taken on a rollercoaster of emotions. What others are saying: “The new Vagina Monologues”, “Shakespeare fae the Streets”, “Rabbie Burns’ wee leza friend”, “The lovechild of Billy Connolly and Pam Ayres”.
Gracey Flair, a rising star? DEFINITELY. One not to be missed!

Also performing earlier that night, as an act in her own right and later with her ‘soon to be released’ unique song ‘To Blossom or to Bloom’, specially written for Gracey’s play, is Glasgow artist Lynnie Carson in her acoustic guise. "Voice of Velvet" "Simply Beautiful"
