Event Details:
"FADE TO BLACK” PLAY FESTIVAL SPOTLIGHTING AFRICAN AMERICAN PLAYWRIGHTS OPENS IN HOUSTON, TEXAS, JUNE 13-15, 2013.

Obsidian Art Space launches “Fade To Black”, a ground-breaking 10 minute play festival celebrating the original works of African American playwrights. This exciting event was developed as a creative collaborative between Denise O'Neal of WMGE, LLC and Leighza Walker of LeighzaLand Productions.
It will be a historical "First of Its Kind" for the City of Houston's theater community!

In March 2013, a nationwide search was conducted to find 10 finalists who would be selected by a panel of esteemed judges for the production's world premiere.

The event is set for production during the city's Juneteenth holiday, June 13-15, 2013 at Obsidian Art Space, 3522 White Oak, in Houston, TX.

The theme and subject matter of the plays submitted were opened to the playwright's imagination.
African American playwrights from all over the U.S. have responded by submitting impressive works for our judges to review. A grand prize winner will be chosen by the ballot results of attending audience members and awarded $100.

“ONE GOOD MAN”
“A story about real love, real life issues, real friendships, but most of all real faith in God!”
Debra L. Atkins, the Writer and Director of So Many Secrets, So Many Lies; I’m Sorry I’m Not Good Enough; Still Not Good Enough; Family Secrets; Everybody’s Man, Everybody’s Woman, and When Love Walks Away, is back again, with the hit gospel stage play “One Good Man” that is coming back to Houston by popular demand!

Saturday, June 1, 2013 – 3:00 pm and 7:00 pm

The Living Word Faith Center (Apostle John Hickman)
7900 West Fuqua
Missouri City, Tx. 77489

Even though this play is the sequel to hit stage play “When Love Walks Away,” this play independently stands along with a brand new plot, a new cast and a new story line that now focuses on the marriage of Tyrice and Phoebe. “One Good Man” ministers greatly to anyone that is experiencing marital problems or anyone who is dealing with any type of broken relationships. This play is very serious in nature, but it is also filled with lots of comedy from some of the other characters in the play. Ultimately “One Good Man” is just a compelling love story about real love, real friendship and most of all real faith in God!

Starring Houston’s Own: Frederick Foy, Felecha Williams, Reginald Johnson, Yolonda Martin, Kourtney Hunt, Macaria Branch, Andrenetta Marshall, Shatara Hale and LaShay Minigan.

Tickets are now on sale and you can purchase them at www.workingtogetherasone.com or from one of the cast members or production tea or by call 832-423-9090. Tickets are $25 Pre-Sale and $30 at the door. Group rates will be available for groups of 10 or more.

If you need more information please visit our website at www.workingtogetherasone.com or to find out more about Working Together As One Productions and the other gospel stage plays we perform or you can email us dawtao@yahoo.com or call us at 832-423-9090.

One of Broadway's outstanding hits. "It is solely and honestly meant to entertain…As purely purposeful diversion it ranks with 'Dracula' and sometimes sets your spine to as much tingling…chilling." NY Telegram.

THE STORY: The scene is a small Southern town where Colonel and Christine Penmark live with their daughter, Rhoda. Little Rhoda Penmark is the evil queen of the story. On the surface she is sweet, charming, full of old-fashioned graces, loved by her parents, admired by all her elders. But Rhoda's mother has an uneasy feeling about her. When one of Rhoda's schoolmates is mysteriously drowned at a picnic, Mrs. Penmark is alarmed. For the boy who was drowned was the one who had won the penmanship medal that Rhoda felt she deserved.

If you have any questions or issues that you'd like to discuss directly with a live person, email Please bring completed audition form with you on the day of auditions.

If you prefer to audition for a dance only role, and don’t want to be considered for an acting/singing role, you may register for a dance audition only.

Auditions will be performed in front of an audition panel including the director, music director, choreographer and producer. Please bring a resume with a headshot stapled to the back of the resume.

Auditions are open to the community. No part has been pre-cast, and we always welcome new faces! All parts may be cast with actors of any ethnicity. All actors cast in the show will receive access to unlimited discounted tickets.

AUDITION PREPARATION
Auditions will consist of a one-minute memorized monologue and a musical theatre vocal selection (16-32 measures) in the style of the show (not from the show). To be fair to other actors who are auditioning, we ask that you limit your monologue to one minute. Please bring a printed piano accompaniment or an accompaniment CD without vocals. A pianist will be available at auditions. No a cappella please.

DANCE AUDITION (Mandatory for all actors)
Dance auditions will consist of performing a series combinations led by our Choreographer. Expect to stay about two hours. Some people will be asked to stay longer to work on more complex combinations, but early release is not an indication that you will not be cast. There are several roles that involve more complex numbers and we need to evaluate dancers as well as actors/singers. Please wear clothes that do not prohibit movement. Men please wear sneakers or jazz shoes (and if you have knee pads, feel free to bring them). Women please wear jazz or character shoes.

CALLBACKS
Callbacks will be held by invitation only on Tuesday, May 14, 2013, from 6-9 PM. Callback invitations will be posted on the HFAC website (houstonfac.com) audition tab by Monday, May 13 at noon. Callbacks will consist of a cold reading from the script and singing a portion of the song(s) sung by the character for which you are being considered.

The show features a large cast with roles for adults, teens, and children. There are 24 named roles: 14 male (ages 18-65), 10 female (ages 8-85).

We're working on the set for Six Degrees of Separation at Country Playhouse. The next set building day is Saturday, April 20, from 2:00-6:00 PM. It's a simple build, but many hands make light work. Bring your drills or your painting talent, and come out and have fun.

Country Playhouse is at 12802 Queensbury Lane in the Town and Country Shopping Center (CityCentre), Houston. Country Playhouse is a volunteer organization, no pay, just glory - and a fun experience.

Tech volunteers can call Jim at 832-894-1843 or email Jim Tommaney at edgetheatre@earthlink.net

Still casting for Six Degrees of Separation

Jim Tommaney is guest-directing John Guare's Six Degrees of Separation at Country Playhouse, opening May 10 for three weeks. It has a cast of 17 - we have cast twelve but still need five younger male roles, mostly college-age. Here are the roles.




  • Rick, aspiring actor, living with his girlfriend Elizabeth. Rick can be older than college-age, Caucasian or Hispanic.

  • Trent Conway, MIT student, educates Paul as to how the upper class lives and thinks. Can be a colorful characterization, eccentric.

  • Woody, son of the well-off Kittredges, has articulate contempt for his father.

  • Ben, son of the well-off Larkins, hates his father and tells him off.

  • Understudy, college-aged African-American male, charismatic and charming with commanding stage presence.

  • Hustler, in underwear - we are cutting the nudity. An amusing, brief cameo.





  • The play is essentially a sophisticated comedic drama. All the available roles are easy to learn. The play is done with no intermission and its impact is from a breezy amusing, ironic sweep rather than set scenes. We are rehearsing Mon, Tues, Wed and sometimes Thursday and new actors could rehearse just once a week, or twice if they had the time, more often during tech week. Rehearsals are at 7 pm at Country Playhouse, 12802 Queensbury Lane in the Town and Country Shopping Center (CityCentre), Houston. Country Playhouse is a volunteer organization, no pay, just glory - and a fun experience. Actors can call Jim at 832-894-1843 or email Jim at edgetheatre@earthlink.net.
