new play read-through?

[ceelove.livejournal.com]

Hey, Davis Square. Five years ago, my musical Never After played at the Somerville Theatre; a couple of years ago, I invited you to a read/sing-through of another musical, Fire and Ice. Now I'm looking for readers for a NON-musical play, Twelve Nights.

To be done properly, it will require twelve readers, six female-presenting and six male-presenting (plus one for stage directions). There are no small roles, nor any big ones, really. I already know that I'll rewrite the play with six roles, as it's too unwieldy, but I believe it'll be fun for a read-through now regardless. If there's sufficient interest beyond twelve readers, I'll reserve a room at the library (as I did with Fire and Ice.

What's this play about? Friendship, sex, religion, and mid-life crises. It's a comedy of manners, a modern take on what happens when a love potion a la Midsummer Night's Dream sends a group of friends into a tailspin. I'm told that it's witty, interesting, and timely.

Comment or email me at ceelove [at] speakeasy (dot) net, and I'll get you a PDF of the Twelve Nights script.

realtor rental listings-are they shared amongst realtors?

[somerfriend.livejournal.com]

For *rentals*, do realtors in Somerville share apartment listings or do they each have their own?    Would it be a mistake for a landlord or a tenant to use a smaller realtor, because they would not achieve critical mass of prospective tenants/apartments?   If that is the case, which realtors have a sufficient volume of listings/tenants?
