All Aboard ...

Well, it is official!  Auditions are over and the show is cast.  Thank you to all who auditioned and shared such great talent and emotion with all of us!  

I was thrilled with the abundance of talent that arrived at the theatre on Monday and Tuesday!  It made my job extremely difficult... I had so much talent to choose from that I could have cast the show several times over.   In the end, it came down to actor chemistry, freedom of action and group dynamics.  I chose a principal cast that really exploded on stage, but left that audition wishing I could work with nearly everyone who read for me.  I hope to have the opportunity to do so in the future!

Please review the principal and featured cast list below and either accept or decline your role no later than 9am Thursday, July 14 by e-mailing me at Lisalhw@att.net.
