Always have.
Perhaps its the excitement of the start of something new and creative on the horizon. Or, the idea that the blank canvas of the impending show will soon be filled with the color of new personalities and talent bringing the 400 year old characters to life. Whatever it is, the 'unknowns' will soon become the 'familiars'... the cast will laugh together (I hope), cry together (I hope this, as well), and work closely together for 70+ hours. The end result will be our own tiny piece of heart-filled art.
But, first we have to get through casting. Did I say I love the audition process?
In just a few short hours, we will begin the process of finding 14 actors and actresses to bring to the table... and then to the stage.
It has been over 14 years since I have been a part of a production of Twelfth Night. I have been in the production twice. I have directed it four times... All period productions. But, now, as I step out of my 'period era' comfort zone, I can assure you that this production will be very different.
Want to audition? Just visit the Audition event page on Facebook for more details. Or, come on out to the State Theatre in Springfield, Ohio on Monday, January 20th or Tuesday, January 21. Doors open and registration begins at 6:00pm.
Stay tuned for weekly updates as the weeks progress. So much more is to come.
