Well today is the day.....Auditions. I am writing this at 11:30 AM and by 5:00 PM it will all be in the past. I have truley enjoyed watching so many of you work so hard for auditions. You have been working and working on your monologues and getting more and more feedback. I am so proud of you!! I have never seen a group work so hard for a Shakespeare audition. I am thrilled.
However, I am also sad. I am so torn. It is so difficult to see almost 60 names on the signups and know that there will be about 25 on the cast list. This means that over 1/2 of the auditioners will not be cast members. This is so hard----I wish I could use everyone. But in order to keep the integrity of the show I need to keep the cast to around 25. (Many schools have a small cast show of 5 -10 people---my small cast show is 25 :) )
Please remember that casting a play is like putting pieces of a puzzle together. I have 60 pieces to choose from to make a picture.... each of you is an INCREDIBLE PIECE!!! You just might not fit in this puzzle. PLEASE remember there is always another show and you will find your fit if you keep trying. :)
