The 8-Ball Play

Posted By Tom on July 21, 2010

I am searching for a new set of actors to perform the play based on Scratchin’ on the Eight Ball. Yes, Reason Nelson came to life at the Joyo theater last December and we had 400 folks watch the show!

So now I need Reason: (13-15) Vince (13-15) Collin (13-15) Randy (13-15) and Boone (19-23). Also a female probation officer (22-45). Once I have these main actors, I may add a few actors to the play.

We will start rehearsals mid-August, and hopefully be ready to perform the 3-4 scenes by October. This show must go on!

Don’t apply if you don’t have at least 2 nights per week to dedicate to this project. We have fun, but we do take this seriously, so no slackers please.

Anyone interested, please call me at 464-0164.

One down and 3 to go!

In our first mission for Wild Hearts Rescue we found a good home for the Pitbull puppy that my friend Dearle donated to our cause. On our first visit,  the puppy did not play well with Keith and Nicole’s toy poodle. But they wanted to give the pup another chance. They even bought a copy of Kody’s book plus gave a $50 donation to Wild Hearts.  Nicole called last night to let me know Queenie, (their new puppy) was getting along well with Hardy the toy poodle.
 
Yesterday afternoon, I received a $25 certificate from a Vet down the street from Keith and Nicole’s place, so I gave it to them to use for the puppy’s next shots. I put the $50 Donation in the Wild Hearts account. Now all I need to do is find a home for 3 more of Dearle’s pups, 2 spotted females and 1 all brown male. If I do, we will be just $300 shy of the non-profit corporation. I have them posted on Craig’s List and on Pitbull Positive.
 
I could have used some help transporting this first puppy, because as it was I had her in my lap on the ride over. By the time I was through, I smelled like a can of dog food. 

So, while Wild Hearts Rescue is off to a good start, so too is Gun and Cannonball with its first book ready to go to press by the end of this week.  Our first book is a collection of short stories written by a retired Florida cop. The Hike will soon be available on the Gun and Cannonball Productions site.

Gun and Cannonball Productions!

Since we started GC Productions site nearly a month ago, we’ve had  around 4-5 hits per day. No big deal compared to the 2600 hits I had last month on my site regarding the Wild Hearts book, written by 14-year-old Kody. So I thought I would put in a plug for this new site.

Gun and Cannonball was created by Kody and a computer whiz kid named Liam. It’s purpose is to help other kid-writers (or adults) become published authors. Granted this site is only for those serious enough to actually start a book and finish it.  The service we provide is not free. It takes time to revise, type-set and then print and bind your book. You may have a 50 page book or over 200 pages, so costs for each particular project will vary. 

For instance, we now have our first client, a writer from Florida, who has written a book of short stories. He is sending us his manuscript, so the next step is to type-set his book to give us a total page count. Once we have that, we then check with our printer to see what it will cost for the number of books our client ordered. Then we determine how much editing we have to put into this book, and come up with a total price. If our client is willing to make that investment, the show is on. 

So, if you have a book that needs to see the light of day, check out our site or email us to inquire about what services we offer. For you writers wanting to submit something to us, send your manuscript to: GC Productions, 6139 Kearney Ave. Lincoln, NE. 68507.
