[RP TownTalk] seeking 7-10 year old actor

[Sarah Wayland]

I am conducting a workshop designed to teach camp counselors how to work
with kids with challenging behaviors. I plan to start the workshop with a
staged scenario (not announced, so it will look real) where I show the
counselors what NOT to do to a kid. The group will then brainstorm about
what went wrong, and I would like the kid to describe what *they*
experienced and what *they* think would work better. After the
"performance" I will teach the counselors more constructive scenarios for
helping kids be successful.

I am looking for a late elementary school-aged kid who is interested in
acting as the kid in this scenario. The child would have to be comfortable
with me being a completely horrible person to them, in public, and
understand that this is a staged performance.

The "performance" will be on June 18th (a Saturday) from 9:30 to 11am in
Hyattsville Maryland and I will need the child to be there for roughly the
first hour of the training. I would also like to meet with the child for a
couple of hours prior to the performance to practice the scenario.

I will pay the child for his or her time - we can discuss method of payment
preferred by the parent.

Please contact me directly (off-list) at sarah.wayland at gmail.com (I read
the list in digest mode) if you have a child who would be interested.
