Theatre UAF announces its final open casting call for extras in The Messenger, a movie written and directed by UAF faculty member Kade Mendelowitz. Community members above 16 years of age of all genders, ethnicities and body types are encouraged to come be a part of this unique opportunity. No lines to say, but you do get to clap, boo,“awwwww” and laugh.

Interested parties need to check in at 12:30 p.m. at the Theatre UAF box office in the Great Hall. The shoot will last until approximately 6 p.m.

In the movie, this scene is the studio audience of the hottest talk show in America. Extras should show up on set dressed in semi-casual, attractive clothing one might wear out in the evening. Skirts, pants, dresses and nice jeans are all ok. Please no holes or tears, no Carharts, cargo pants or hoodie sweatshirts. Colors welcome but avoid extremely bright shades. Limit black, especially on top and no white please. No obvious logos or graphic images. Patterns ok (large patterns; please avoid stripes). Avoid strapless or spaghetti strap tops.

The scene takes place in Burbank, Calif., so short sleeves or lightweight long sleeves are most appropriate. Please avoid heavy work boots and chunky, outdoor winter shoes. There are places to store your coats/sweaters at the theatre and restrooms available for changing.

More information is available online or by calling the Theatre Department office at 474-6590.
