Laurie Eliscu: Actor, director and playwright in New York.

CASTING - I'm looking for an Italian-American looking actor to play a supporting role in an Equity Showcase I'm directing. If he can play guitar or accordion, even better, but the character is mid 30's-40, a womanizer, yet under his Mama's control, steals money from the family deli, can be the brother-in-law from hell - for "Mama's Boys" a new comedy by Bill Holland, showing April 12, 14, 15 at Roy Arias Theater Festival, with possible extension. Travel stipend. Already in rehearsal. Flexible schedule is good. Contact Laurie Eliscu, Director at HudsonRiverRep@aol.com

Hey Laurie, a few days ago we implemented a new privacy setting to give you the option of accepting private messages only from users within your network. Today, I discovered a bug with the way this option is set for new users. I just wanted to let you know that the bug is now fixed, so all members are now able to receive private messages from any other member (the default setting). If you'd like to receive private messages only from users within your network, you can change this setting here. Also, you can access your privacy settings at any time from the drop-down menu that appears when you hover over your profile photo in the upper right-hand corner of the page.
