Project: Human Barbie

The purpose of this project is to find actresses to act out the role of a female who has a spell placed on her that causes her to slowly shrink and become a Barbie doll.

The story is about a materialistic and narcissistic girl who treats people badly and has a spell placed on her by someone who she has disrespected. The spell causes the girl to slowly shrink down and become a Barbie doll, which is poetic justice because of how materialistic the girl was before.

Project: Mop & Bucket Blues

This play examines the importance of sports programs and the creative and performing arts through the multifaceted production, “Mop and Bucket Blues”. “Mop and Bucket Blues” brings awareness to Chicago’s inner city gun violence, poverty, food insecurity, absentee fathers, and the lack of funding for sports and the creative arts in public schools in high-crime areas. By analyzing the thematic elements, artistic techniques, and socio-political impact of the play, this production seeks to shed light on the potential of theater as a powerful medium for social change and educational reform.

There will be 18 show dates. Opening night is October 16th, 2025. Shows are on Thursday and Friday evenings at 7:30 pm. @ shows on Saturdays and Sundays. 


Set in present-day Chicago, Mop & Bucket Blues follows JJ, a wise yet weary high school janitor who quietly witnesses the struggles of students and staff in an underfunded inner-city school. Through his mop and bucket, symbols of cleansing and renewal, JJ narrates a story filled with heartache, humor, and harsh truths. As gang violence, poverty, and systemic neglect plague the school, students like Terrance and Little C stand at a dangerous crossroads: pursue their dreams or surrender to the streets. Meanwhile, dedicated educators and coaches stretch themselves thin trying to protect what’s left of hope. When a gifted student ends up dead, the fragile line between survival and success shatters, forcing everyone to confront the real cost of a broken system. Mop & Bucket Blues is a raw, honest, and emotionally charged play that amplifies the voices of underserved youth and the silent heroes who fight for them every day. It is a call to awareness, a cry for change, and a tribute to those who dare to care.

Project: Wicked Witch Melting

Looking for actresses to do their own take on the Wicked Witch melting from The Wizard of Oz. This version should be thought of as the actress melting as her normal self and not as the traditional wicked witch. The actress will need to come up with creative camera angles to give the illusion that she is melting/shrinking into her clothes and her clothes are getting bigger on her. The scene needs to end with just the clothes the actress was wearing in a pile on the floor to make it look like she fully melted and disappeared.

Project: Witches Mouse Transformation Scene

I am looking for actresses to do a female version of the mouse transformation scenes from the movie The Witches (1990). Actresses can pick between the tranformation of Bruno or Luke or both. Here is a link to Bruno's scene: https://youtu.be/Rtf8uPmgq0A?si=5HzKYXY2qcXGhKR3 Here is a link to Luke's scene: https://youtu.be/VpK8lMH0lhA?si=gydjyvlNEsHCI-yx In both scenes, the actress only needs to re-enact the role of Bruno or Luke. The other people in the scenes do not need to be accounted for. The scenes need to end with just the clothes the actress was wearing in a pile on the floor, just like in the scenes.

This is for a film editing project through my university.

Project: A Very Southern Church

LOGLINE

A modern, young pastor from NYC becomes the new lead pastor of a small traditional church in the Deep South, his will to fit in is crushed by the to him greatly opposing world views of the people he meets.

OUR MISSON

Yes, we think more funny Christian movies are needed, but the meaning behind the movie is much deeper. The message of the movie is to show that even though we may be completely different on the outside, in the end we believe in the same thing and that should unite us.
