Tuesday, September 16, was the second night of auditions. We had about 15 new people so things progressed a bit slowly. Again, there were many talented singers and actors.
About 10:30, the Casting Committee dismissed us and settled down to task of casting the show. This can be a tough job, especially when there are as many good people as we had at the auditions. Once they cast the show, the committee members call those given roles to see if they will accept. If a role is refused, it’s back to the drawing board. When all the roles are accepted, the committee members then call the folks who weren’t cast and thank them for auditioning.
Here’s the list which will no doubt get tweaked a bit before the show goes up.
