I need help from an actor … or someone studing to be an actor .. one that is a romantic and will help another romantic soul perform something ‘different’ for his lady.

This could be good experience for someone who wants a small dramatic part in a public place … surely there is one romantic aspiring actor who can help me.

What am I after .. well I want an actor to be dressed in 18th century page boy costume to deliver a ‘glass slipper’ to my lady at her work in Westmead near Parramatta .. it will take all of 15 mins and if done right will be a memory never forgotten by her …

I don’t want a ‘courier’ but rather someone that will deliver this with the same passion as I would intend ..

I know this is unusual .. but .. I wanted to try … Do I have a hope ?? .. please, if your a romantic, just let me know either way

.. thank you anyway

Sigh and alas ... it appears I will not find the adventurous spirit within this vestibule of ether .. its is a shame though ... and perhaps a testament to the dying art of romance .. never mind .. I will still hold the light high above my head in my search, until another brave soul, eager to help me touch a woman's heart with sensitivity and creativity, is found ...

 
But I am curious .. Was this too difficult a task ?.. or perhaps not seen as one that would challenge ? .. or is it simply the ravings of a love struck Romeo that has no place in this modern world of cold love and sexless distintiction ? Are even actors so focused on realities rather than 'stories' to contemplate this ?

Anyway I thank all that replied or even read my message and will continue my search through other avenue's to find an 'actor' or even another romantic soul in this quest ...

Hmm. i wouldnt say its too

Hmm. i wouldnt say its too difficult a task. Because its not. And i wouldnt say that romance is dead... or dying. its as it has always been, but in a different world. with different influences. Besides you are looking for an actor. Actors a busy people... searching for professional work, working and trying to develop their skills. Perhaps you should try to find a friend or aquaintance who could help you out? Perhaps you are just looking in the wrong place.

What tha...?

:LOL: I haven't had a good gak all day. Now that was funny.

Alex - You have an admirer it would seem, and all the way from China? Want to move to China?

I know this is way off topic, but :naughty: I couldn't resist.... Mind you, it is a good pic....

Glass slipup

I'll be more than happy to. I live in Perth :) Send me the air fare and I'll do it. If she's a nice looker and takes a fancy to me and sweep her of her feet (with slipper) and take her back to Perth with me :P

.. romancing the heart

Thank you Alex for your comments .. yes perhaps I simply looked in the wrong spot :)

In my ambition to make this adventure a reality so far I have written to Drama schools, universities that have Drama majors, amateur groups and even approached the Singing Telegram places .. however, either I do not find an attentive ear or the costs of over $300 just for delivery do not allow me to continue.

In the latest chapter of this quest I have written to costume hire places in the hope that possibly one of their staff would help .. sigh .. although I found someone keen to help, again the financial consideration of $350 does not allow me to persue.

I will not give up !!! :) .. I love this woman too much not to give her this memory .. this adventure .. this fantasy !

What's wrong with paying?

If you really love this woman why not either do this yourself, or pay an actor to do it. It's perfectly simple really. Why drum up some unenthusiastic upaid actor with the hope that Steven Spielberg will be there and this would contribute something to their portfolio of work? You can't get something for nothing and if you pay peanuts you get monkeys!
