Hello! I am producing and directing an independent production of Shakespeare’s HENRY V.

If you are an actor, thespian, or want to learn how (for free) you are welcome to message me!

No one will be paid (not even me) but you can use this opportunity to score some headshots (i have a Nikon camera), use this on your resume, or use this experience to apply for scholarships/programs and tell them you were in Henry V!

Or just score some free acting lessons, learn about Shakespeare, cross an item off your bucket list.

There will not be a requirement for accents, you are welcome to be as American as you are, or if you came to our country from somewhere else, that is fine too!

If you speak French or would like to learn some, let me know! (The french characters speak some french in the play)

I am editing the script for time, changing some of the lines, and overall the goal is to make it easier to perform. However, Henry V appears to have the least archaic diction and grammar of the Will S plays ive seen and read.

Since we are going to find a smaller venue to perform at, the costumes will be the set pieces and they will be made with the actor’s measurements in mind. Since i will be sewing these (former Jo-Ann’s employee, i survived the coupon wars) you don’t get to keep them… i may have to sell them, depending on life.

But, if this goes swimmingly, i want to do Macbeth and Midsummer Night’s Dream too! However, you can take selfies, get some free headshots for your portfolio, and vlog about the experience on your socials (please be respectful of others tho)

There are no skin color or gender requirements, the main lead of Henry V and the villain Le dauphin are already filled by POC. Black, white, asian, cis, trans, all are welcome so long as you are respectful, tolerant, not a bad faith actor, and not a creepy addict or pervert (i am a rape survivor and none of that will be tolerated, at all, in any capacity)

also, i have no issue casting women or trans in male character roles, and would love for you to have your chance to shine! There will also be nonspeaking roles, if you want to be a soldier and go to war with a foam sword, it will be team red vs blue (England/Britain vs France)

We are still in the infancy stage, soft goal of a December performance but we will wait till everyone is ready!

The only minimum requirement is you must be an adult. And not an awful person (no narcissists, sociopaths, or machiavellians need bother)

Little about me:

I am autistic and it was a late in life revelation. As it turns outs, the innate skills of “scripting” and “masking” are supercharged cheat codes for performance and public speaking.

I would like to make a life of struggle outside my own thespianism to have a meaning - to teach others how to speak public-ally, speak clearly, act and perform, and maybe give adults a chance they never had when they were younger.

I am donating a lot more of my time this year to helping people since i have to take a step back from school due to ptsd.

Let me know if you are interested,

Jason

(If you have never seen Henry V, look up “anonymous 2011 life of henry v” on youtube for a wonderful little blurb)

(Also if you saw The King on netflix with Timothee Chalamet and Lily-Rose Depp, a large part of that film is based on this very play!)

Last post of a similar vein was removed because it involved people’s “names” and that is not allowed.

Please tell me your story without naming him or her

Mine:

I reported a phd grad student who groomed, rǎped, and gaslit me. I am special needs.

Did what i was told and reported to title ix and the police. No response. It’s been a year. He is still out there doing it.

My life has disintegrated since. Therapy, meds, about to give up on school for good. Thank you, CSU. I view you the same level as i view that Rampist.

I was raped by a CSU phd student last summer. Found out after the fact he us a high profile science personality there. Went to the police and filed a title ix.

Nothing. CSU’s title ix office did not follow up. The police were only interested because he tried to roofie me, then dropped that angle because… ?

After going to therapy and taking antidepressants, i gave up and emailed a copy of the police report to the parents of my attacker. That is all i get. They deserve to know who they raised.

If you get attacked by a CSU phd or staffer, go to the news. The police dont care. CSU absolutely buries this shit, there is more than one predator on that campus.

For the record, i am autistic. Thanks, Alan. You raped an autistic man.
