If you have ever wanted to work on a Denzel Washington film, here is your chance! The actor has teamed up with his Broadway co-star Viola Davis to transform their Tony award-winning play into a feature film. Casting directors are looking for real bartenders to work on the paid shoot. Not only is the Academy Award winning actor starring in the movie, he is also directing it! This is an incredible opportunity to work with the actor.
Brodway.com describes Fences as it “centers on the Maxons, an African-American family living in Pittsburgh in 1957. Patriarch Troy, a sanitation worker, is an embittered former player in baseball’s Negro Leagues. Matriarch Rose runs the household, stretching Troy’s meager paycheck to keep things going. Their teen son Cory is being recruited to play college football, a source of contention with his father. Also on the scene are Troy’s older son Lyons, brain-damaged brother Gabriel and drinking buddy Bono. The main action of the play takes places over a two-month period that changes the nature of the Maxons’ marriage and Cory’s path in life forever”.
Casting directors are looking for real African American bartenders who are between the ages of 21 and 50 years old. You would need to be available this Thursday and Friday as well as May 26th (you will only work one of the dates, but the shoot date is not set in stone, it has been narrowed to one of those three days). If your specialty is mixing drinks and you are available, please email a current photo to fencesextras@gmail.com with Bartender in the subject line of the email. The movie is filming in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, so you must be within 2 hours to be considered. In the email include your name, phone number, current photo, height, weight, bartending experience and age
