[Capdist-auditions] Update: CASTING CALL: Auditions for Independent Short Superhero Film

[Jacob Brode]

In light of the responses we have received thus far, we have decided to
open an additional role for casting:

PRAXIS – A playful hacker and dangerous combatant, Praxis is the apparent
leader of the evil robotic forces plaguing the city. Age and gender are
flexible, but must be comfortable with some staged combat.

Once again, open auditions are *Monday, June 27th* and *Wednesday, June
29th*, at *6pm* at the *Clifton Park-Halfmoon Library*.  If you are
interested in taking part in this exciting project, then please contact
jacob.brode at gmail.com and fill out this Google Form
