THE VIRGINS
A comedic feature film written and to be directed by Amazon Studios Award-Winning Filmmaker Matthew Wilson. Filming will be three weeks from August 26 - September 15 in the Seattle area.
LOGLINE: A young couple save themselves for marriage, even though they will only have one night together before the groom has to leave for the Army. The night of the wedding they get locked out of their honeymoon cottage and end up on a wild adventure. All they want is to make it back to town so they can find a hotel for the night, but everything they do seems to push them further away. And things get far worse when their family members find out and offer their "help". They saved themselves for the wedding night, and now they'll have to save themselves from the wedding night. The two people who did everything right are about to have everything go wrong. A comedy about waiting and waiting and waiting some more.
Auditions will be held at Taproot Theater Company from June 10 - 14. Send headshots/resumes/reels to virgin...@gmail.com with the role you are submitting for in the subject line. If booked, the pay is $100/day.
CHARACTERS:
NICK - 17 DAYS
-22. A young man full of confidence and hope for the future. He is determined to live a life that honors God and country. He is very much in love with Mary and excited about becoming her husband, even though he has no idea what that will entail. He believes in doing things the right way, and when things go wrong it takes him by surprise.
MARY - 17 DAYS
-Also 22. She has all the beautiful charm and naivety of a young woman in love. Consequently, she has no qualms about rushing in to marriage with Nick. He is the man of her dreams, so why wait? But she also loves her father, who is not convinced Nick is the right man for her. Though she is caught in a tug of war between the two, her relentless optimism (or perhaps naivety) makes her believe it will all work out.
THOMAS - 9 DAYS
Mid 40s or early 50s. Mary's high-anxiety dad. He is terrified that his little girl, who he loves most in the world, has made a huge mistake by rushing in to marriage with someone leaving for war.
TOAD - 9 DAYS
-24. Nick's older, cynical brother. His attitude towards Nick's marriage is - 'what's the big deal?' He wants to make sure Nick knows that even though he is married now, he is still his little brother.
LIAM - 6 DAYS
-40s or 50s. A loud, proud Scottish man who believes in loyalty at all costs. He has come to America on a mission to fulfill his father's dying wish. He also plays the bagpipes.
GRANDPA HENRY - 5 DAYS
-70s or 80s. A tough old man who is proud of his grandson for joining the Army and for saving himself for marriage. He wants him to have a great time tonight, and will beat down anyone who gets in the way. He also likes to brag about his sex life with his wife of 50 years.
HAMISH SINCLAIR - 1 DAY
-Mid 70s. Originally from Scotland, he left as a young man and has lived in America ever since. Now in the twilight of his life, he has grown crotchety and irritable, but he still has a quick wit and sense of humor.
COLONEL BENTSON - 2 DAYS
-40s or 50s. A twenty year Army veteran. Having risen up the ranks to high command, most of his job is now telling people what they do not want to hear. It falls on him to tell Nick his honeymoon is cancelled.
BRIAN SINCLAIR - 2 DAYS
-17. Hamish's grandson. A teenager who is always in a bad mood. His grandfather heckles him relentlessly and generally makes his life difficult, so when someone comes along and makes his life even more difficult, he does not take kindly to them.
ROBBIE SINCLAIR - 3 DAYS
-15. Hamish's other grandson. He is equally as testy as his brother, but, rather than use words, he expresses his anger with a BB gun.
YOUNG NICK - 1 DAY
-Nick as a 12 year old boy.
YOUNG TOAD - 1 DAY
-Toad as a 14 year old boy.
MARY'S FRIEND - 1 DAY
-21. Mary's best friend. She is nervous about Mary and Nick's relationship.
