The LSUS Department of Communications will present Lanford Wilson's "Burn This," says the director, Robert Alford. His production will offer an opportunity for local actors to play opposite a Hollywood veteran, Pruitt Taylor Vince.
Roles available:

Burton (late 20s to late 30s) a wealthy, athletic, self-assured, sci-fi screenwriter, Anna’s boyfriend.
The role of Pale will be played by guest artist Pruitt Taylor Vince, says Alford.

Very nice LSUS!
I did enjoy the cinematography in Constantine as a side note.
He was great on Deadwood.

acc to Alford.
I thought his role in "monster" was one of the more intense moments in a movie full of intense and uncomfortable moments. Definitely will catch this play!
