Anybody got a "bench seat"?

We're looking for a specific set piece for our February show. It would be great to get our hands on a 70's era car bench seat, but really any car bench seat would do the trick.

If you have one to lend, please get a hold of me via my mobile number 021 124 1794.

Cheers,
Walter

Auditions for February Swillage

The Six O'clock Swill is happy to announce auditions for its February installment. Send us an email or give us a ring if you are interested in being considered for any of the following:

Two short plays from Neil LaBute's "Autobahn" collection, directed by Walter McGinnis

Bench Seat - A trip to lovers lookout.
Girl - In her early twenties. Has worked instead of going to university. Charming, able to drive a conversation. Appears naive, but one never knows.
Guy - In his mid to late twenties. A grad student. Makes his living as a tutor. Does he have an ulterior motive?

Merge - A man and a woman in an expensive car. He is asking her questions about what she remembers from the night before.
Woman - A business professional. Around her mid-40's. Evasive.
Man - Her husband. Suspicious of his wife's story. Possibly a good bit younger than his wife.

Two new works written and directed by Thom McGrath:

Tie and Mirror
The Groom - Male. Late twenties, well presented. Naive and light-hearted, yet reasonably self assured.
The Best Man - Male. Thirties, unpresentable. Obnoxious and two faced. Selfish and a bad sportsman in 'the game of life'.
The Caterer - Male. Twenties - Thirties. A sports fanatic making ends meet on a dead end job. A friend of The Best Man and similarly inconsiderate.

Panama
George - Male. Retired widower. Enjoys travelling and smoking. Wants to make one last expedition before he accepts his age and becomes a recloose.
Omar - Male. Slightly younger than George. An old friend of George's who has come to stay with him and cheer him up after George's wife past away. Enjoys fishing and geography.

Auditions will be scheduled by appointment for Saturday the 19th. If you can't make that day, please let us know.

Happy New Year past, present, and future swillers!

Last year's Six O'clock Swills were rockin! Thanks everyone who has
been apart of the Swill so far for your great work. Thanks also to
everyone that came along to the shows. We've had some really
excellent crowds.

If you haven't checked out http://sixoclockswill.com/ yet, mosey on
over there to see photo highlights from 2007.

As you have probably noticed we took a well deserved break in January,
but we are now gearing up for another round of our monthly
installments. We'll be starting again in February as a part of the
Fringe Festival on Wednesday the 13th and Thursday the 14th at 6pm.
So it's time to whack this puppy together, but quick.

First up, we're looking for directors. Both for February and for
upcoming months. So if you, or anyone you know, would be interested
email us. We would like to solidify February's
line up by this Friday, so let us know ASAP if want to be considered
for next month.

Secondly we are looking for short plays to produce. February is
mostly chosen, but we may have room for one or two more pieces under
15 minutes. If you have something like that, definitely send it along
as soon as you can.

We also have our eyes out for exciting one act pieces for March. If
you have something already written or are interested putting together
new for the Swill, let's have a chat.

Last on our shopping list (but oh so important!) is casting. We'll be
sending out another email about auditions as soon as we finalize our
program for February. I expect we'll be starting them as soon as next
week, possibly even this weekend. So stay tuned to this Radio Free
Swill channel!

Mucho Gracias,
Walter & Mark
