Casting call

Auditions for “White Eyebrow and the Destruction of Shaolin” stage play.

This period piece involving martial arts takes place in 18th centaury China. The Shaolin Temples battle the Manchu during the Ching Dynasty, resulting in the demise of the Shaolin Temple.

All characters that are being auditioned for are open to any race, and just about any age. All applicants must be trained in martial arts (Chinese styles preferred) for a minimum of 2 years or very well traversed with their bodies. Both speaking/fight roles and fight crew roles (just fighting) are available. We’re looking for actors that know martial arts, non-fighting actors for a few roles, and just martial artist for fight crew.

We are auditioning for 3 female speaking/fighting roles, 6 male speaking roles (1 doesn’t fight), and for fight crew (non-speaking); 7 men and 3 women.

The auditions will take place on Thursday the 8th of July at the Atlantic Theater Company Acting School. Its located at 453 W16th Street between 9th and 10th ave. Auditions start at 5pm and end at 8pm.

\*\*For roles that speak and fight, come with headshot/resume, a contemporary and classical monologue, along with a 30 second - one-minute form/set/kata.  
\*\*For fight crew role, come with a one-minute to 3 minute form/set/kata.  
\*\*For one of the speaking-only roles, come with headshot/resume, and a contemporary and classical monologue.

Come to auditions with clothes appropriate to the movement, not the monologue. There will be a warm-up room provided.

Actors participating in this play will NOT be paid. They will, however, get in great shape if their not already from great martial art training, have the opportunity to join M.A.T.E. Inc. (Martial Art Theater Ensemble), connect with others in the business that are always working on new projects, gain great experience doing a play whose style is rarely seen, and possibly be seen by invited agents/casting directors.

Final words! This will be a great time in the making, and we’re all very excited to get it up on its feet. We will be doing the show in a Thursday -Sunday run for 4 weeks starting Sept. 16 - Oct. 9th at the Looking Glass Theater on 57th street. If you don’t have headshots or resumes, it’s not as important as the monologue/form you perform for us. You can send your headshot/resume to us, and we can confirm a spot in the auditioning time slot.  
Email at [Whiteeyebrowplay@yahoo.com](mailto:Whiteeyebrowplay@yahoo.com)

See you there!

Wushu is a government sponsoring program.

It is easier to get job in public shools and film industry.

TMCA, you are on your own.

The other one is San Da.

Wushu is taught as in physical education or PE classes.
