Congratulations to the Cast of Urinetown!

If you are reading this entry, you have most likely seen the recently posted cast list for Urinetown.

Thanks to everyone who auditioned! With a cast of 40 talented people, it was very hard casting all of you! Most of you could have played numerous roles, and you did not make our decision making any easier.

So... congratulations to all, and I look forward to seeing all of you at the first read through on Monday, September 17th. For Monday, plan on going through Act I, playing some games, as well as going over the contract and the schedule for September. If you can not make it on Mon., or feel like you can no longer do the show, please shoot me an email or come talk to me on Mon.

Also, if you want to discuss your audition or the casting process, feel free to stop by my office on Mon. If I'm not teaching class, that is where I will be.

If you didn't get the part you were hoping for....listen, it is absolutely natural and normal to feel disappointed. Unfortunately, this is a reality of the theatre. I you want to come talk about it, my door is always open and I'll try my best to explain my rationale and, hopefully, help you improve for next time.

To repeat myself... I am thrilled with this cast and I look forward to leading you to a funny and biting production in November. We have lots of work to do, so get some rest this weekend. We begin in 5 days!

P.S. Thank you to Ms. Callan, Ms. Kuan, Ryan, and Emily for all your help with auditions and callbacks. Y'all are the bomb.

Peace. (Feel free to click on "Comment" and leave me a message regarding audtions/callbacks/casting/whatever! Believe it or not, I do listen to what you have to say :o)
