A hilarious satire of television and a touching romantic comedy, it begins in a television studio where a hospital soap opera is being taped. One actor starts speaking gibberish; he is an "actoid," a robot, and his programming is off kilter. Adam, the young nephew of the producer and an aspiring writer who worships the director (once a great movie director and now a broken-down has-been), is on the set. Adam starts chatting with Jacie Tripplethree, the actoid (serial number JC333) playing the nurse and finds, to his surprise, that not only can she carry on a conversation but, due to what she calls a fault in her programming, she has a creative imagination. Adam wants to build a new television series around her, but the studio will not hear of it. He also finds he is falling in love with the charming robot! Will Adam get the green light on his series? Will love prevail?</span></b><b><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'><o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:6.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt;margin-left:0in;line-height:18.0pt'><b><u><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;letter-spacing:-.15pt'>Available roles: </span></u></b><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:red;letter-spacing:-.15pt'><o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>NOTE: All characters present with an English accent except where indicated.<i> </i>The actors playing Lester, Turkey, Marmion, Trudi also double up on a variety of minor roles.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:6.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt;margin-left:0in;line-height:18.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>○ <b>Adam Trainsmith</b> <i>(young writer, 20s)</i><br>○ <b>Chandler “Chance” Tate</b> <i>(American director, late 50s-late 60s)</i><br>○ <b>Lester Trainsmith</b> <i>(Adam's American uncle, 70s-80s)</i><br>○ <b>Marmion</b> <i>(American, speaker for Lester Trainsmith)</i><br>○ <b>Prim Spring</b> <i>(programmer, 30s-40s)</i><br>○ <b>Trudi Floote</b> <i>(technician, 30s-40s)</i><br>○ <b>Carla Pepperbloom</b> <i>(high-powered executive, late 30s-late 50s; a cougar)</i><br>○ <b>Jacie Triplethree</b> <i>(actress android, seemingly mid 20s)<br></i>○ ‘<b>Doctor’ </b><i>(actor android, mid 30s/mid 50s)<br></i>○ ‘<b>Mother’</b> <i>(actress android, 40s/50s)<br></i>○ ‘<b>Patient’</b><i> (actor android, early 20s)<br></i>○ <b>Hotel desk clerk</b><br>○ <b>Hotel waiter 1<br>○ Hotel waiter 2<br>○ Man in dress shop<br>○ Woman in dress shop<br>○ Dress shop assistant<br>○ Prostitute<br>○ Turkey <i>(pimp)<br></i>○ Technician</b></span><span style='font-size:14.0pt'><br></span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif'>Production director:</span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:black'> Gary Hoffman </span><a href="mailto:ghoffma1@nycap.rr.com"><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif'>ghoffma1@nycap.rr.com</span></a><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:black'> <br><b>(P</b></span><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif'>lease reach out to Gary with any questions)</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif'> <br></span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:black;background:white'>SLCA-CTP can be reached at 518-674-2007<br><b><i>Everyone participating in the show will receive a small stipend</i></b>. </span><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-family:"Courier New";mso-ligatures:none'>Brian Sheldon<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-family:"Courier New";mso-ligatures:none'>Executive Director<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><img border=0 width=110 height=48 style='width:1.1458in;height:.5in' id="Picture_x0020_1" src="cid:image001.jpg@01DAED68.8119BBE0"><span style='mso-ligatures:none'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
