Great audition, my friends! I feel this is one of the strongest casts I have ever had the pleasure to direct for one-act competition. You are going to do amazing things.
If you have not read the play yet, please understand that it is very episodic. Most characters appear for only a few scenes. These scenes are usually very rich and packed with great acting moments, but can be few and far between for the actors. I am hoping to create some exciting ensemble moments for a few portions of the show to increase stage time and make use of your excellent group acting abilities. The original production kept everyone on stage for the entire show as witnesses to the action. I’m not sure about that approach, but we will discuss its pros and cons.
I have included two cast lists. The first is divided by gender and shows all of your multiple roles. The second cast list breaks the characters into groups so you have a better idea who your characters are.
The first rehearsal will be Tuesday, September 19, from 6:00-8:00 PM.
