A casting call for the Oxford Film Festival’s second community film — THE SHOW MUST GO ON — was held on Saturday, October 8.

Scripted roles are listed below — however, as in the first film, there will be plenty of opportunities for “ad-libbed” speaking parts for extras (still needed).

Filming will be DECEMBER 9-11 JANUARY 5-7 (exact schedule TBD, extras needed in the afternoon of Saturday, Jan. 7) at the Powerhouse Community Arts Center. At least one table read will be scheduled before filming begins, tentatively December 7 (Wednesday), also at the Powerhouse. There are still opportunities for volunteer extras and crew.
