As I feared, I was unable to cast everyone in this show. For those of you who did not make the show, please know it was lack of roles and not lack of ability that kept you from being cast. Do not be discouraged - audition again next year! I will also be retaining the sheets of those not cast. If someone needs to be replaced, you will be the first called.
There was some fine work at these auditions. Projection continues to improve, many of the physical auditions were quite compelling, and there was some nice depth to the character work.
I did decide to split the roles of Laurie, Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy into their younger and older selves. We'll have some interesting wig and costuming work to make some of you look like each other! I hope the role splitting and casting will allow us all to go off book quickly and have the necessary time to devote to making this a production worthy of FPD Theatre.
The first rehearsal will be
Thursday, April 14, from 6:00-9:00 PM.
