SUMMARY:Proportional Representation Town Hall
DESCRIPTION:This Thursday\, July 30th at 6pm at the Flint Public Library’s Friends of the Library room Nicholas French will be presenting us with information on the VNP long-term plan of initiating Proportional Representation in Michigan elections.\n\n\nProportional Representation can be easily defined as: Proportional representation is an electoral system that elects multiple representatives in each district in proportion to the number of people who vote for them. If one third of voters back a political party\, the party’s candidates win roughly one-third of the seats. Today\, proportional representation is the most common electoral system among the world’s democracies.\n\n\n\n\n\nPutting it into effect is a different story altogether and will take time\, money\, and people who can speak clearly about it to family and friends. So let’s learn and get started.\n\n\nSign up here: https://www.mobilize.us/vnp/event/994748/\n\n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Buckham Alley Theatre Plant Security Auditions
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for auditions for our first show of the season!\nGenre: Comedy\n\nLogline: When a loyal\, wisecracking security team at a 1980s Midwestern auto plant learns their jobs may be outsourced to a cheaper outside firm\, they have until year’s end to prove their irreplaceable value — one stolen chain\, one phantom defecator\, andone very drunk Hungarian at a time.\nCast size:13 Total – 5 WOMEN\, 8 MEN\nPrimary Players:\nCAPTAIN ED MUSIELEWICZ (pronounced MUSE-a-lev-itch) (50s) is the unflappable Navy bred Captain of the Plant Security team. A man whose authority derives entirely from character rather than rank\, who is street-smart and cares about his work and crew.\nBILL BARNES (40s) is the colorful and loyal sergeant from Kentucky with unvarnished realism.\nKATHY CLARK (30s) is a single mother\, a loyal hard working security guard\, with a sense of humor.\nCHRIS HANKS (20s) is an effective point-of-view character for the audience — a young\, curious\, and still learning security guard.\nSTEVE BLAKELY (20-30s) is the play’s antagonist. He’s a rising star with big ideas\, good hair\, an Ohio State MBA\, and more than a touch of arrogance.\nMR. KOWALSKI (40-50s) is the ambitious manager over plant security\, and hopes that Steve is his ticket to executive row.\nSupporting Players:(Ages 20s to 60s) These actors have speaking roles as secondary characters in one to two scenes\, and may play more than one character. Through costume changes they will also be needed as background performers posing as employees – coming and going through the employee entrance and working in the plant area.\nJAKAB and MAGYAR ORS (30-50s) Jakab is a lamb of a worker until he drinks\, and Magyar (aka: The Hungarian Battleaxe) with her curlers and babushka\, fears no one.\nHAROLD COOPER – (50s) an executive and former fellow altar boy of Captain Ed. He hires Steve Blakely to investigate outsourcing the security services.\nTHE VISITOR – a nicely dressed business woman who is mistaken to be a government inspector\nMERYL MADISON – a dimwitted worker who gets trapped inside a wall\nAILING MAN – a large worker who appears to be having a heart attack in a small space\nSupporting Players with a few lines or as a featured background performer. They will also portray multiple employees.Note: These are great starter roles for new actors!\nWORKER NO. 2 – A fast food coupon kingWORKER NO. 3 – Coupon accomplice to Worker No. 2CHAIN-MAN – An employee with more than a back problemCHAIN-MAN ACCOMPLICE – employeeTODD – A Blakely spy who gets lost in the plantBINKERSON GUARD – escort for The VisitorBREADMAN – A vendor who leaves more than bread during deliveriesLARRY KRUTZ and PAUL O’BRIEN (30s – 60s) – two drunk pals at Christmas partyVENDOR NO. 1 – A green grocer deliverymanHERCZOG – A worker who sneaks in his accordion or concertina with his troublesome monkey to a Christmas party (no lines).

SUMMARY:Buckham Alley Theatre Plant Security Auditions
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for auditions for our first show of the season!\nGenre: Comedy\n\nLogline: When a loyal\, wisecracking security team at a 1980s Midwestern auto plant learns their jobs may be outsourced to a cheaper outside firm\, they have until year’s end to prove their irreplaceable value — one stolen chain\, one phantom defecator\, andone very drunk Hungarian at a time.\nCast size:13 Total – 5 WOMEN\, 8 MEN\nPrimary Players:\nCAPTAIN ED MUSIELEWICZ (pronounced MUSE-a-lev-itch) (50s) is the unflappable Navy bred Captain of the Plant Security team. A man whose authority derives entirely from character rather than rank\, who is street-smart and cares about his work and crew.\nBILL BARNES (40s) is the colorful and loyal sergeant from Kentucky with unvarnished realism.\nKATHY CLARK (30s) is a single mother\, a loyal hard working security guard\, with a sense of humor.\nCHRIS HANKS (20s) is an effective point-of-view character for the audience — a young\, curious\, and still learning security guard.\nSTEVE BLAKELY (20-30s) is the play’s antagonist. He’s a rising star with big ideas\, good hair\, an Ohio State MBA\, and more than a touch of arrogance.\nMR. KOWALSKI (40-50s) is the ambitious manager over plant security\, and hopes that Steve is his ticket to executive row.\nSupporting Players:(Ages 20s to 60s) These actors have speaking roles as secondary characters in one to two scenes\, and may play more than one character. Through costume changes they will also be needed as background performers posing as employees – coming and going through the employee entrance and working in the plant area.\nJAKAB and MAGYAR ORS (30-50s) Jakab is a lamb of a worker until he drinks\, and Magyar (aka: The Hungarian Battleaxe) with her curlers and babushka\, fears no one.\nHAROLD COOPER – (50s) an executive and former fellow altar boy of Captain Ed. He hires Steve Blakely to investigate outsourcing the security services.\nTHE VISITOR – a nicely dressed business woman who is mistaken to be a government inspector\nMERYL MADISON – a dimwitted worker who gets trapped inside a wall\nAILING MAN – a large worker who appears to be having a heart attack in a small space\nSupporting Players with a few lines or as a featured background performer.
