I can’t remember if I’ve mentioned this before, but four of the pieces from Hope and Other Dangerous Pursuits are being staged in November at the Beverly Hills Public Library in Los Angeles. The event is part of Sally Shore’s New Short Fiction Series, which is now in its tenth year.
Anyway, the reason I’m posting about it now is that Ms. Shore is currently casting the shows and she is looking for male and female Arab-American actors. Interested actors should be based in L.A., and should email their picture and resume to bbprods AT newshortfictionseries DOT com no later than June 14th. Good luck.
