Last night we had another small but talented group come to the auditions for my show. In the end, we got a great group that I couldn't be happier with. We have our first read through on Tuesday and the character discovery begins. I am taking an all new approach with directing this time around to get a more organic performance from my actors. I plan to let the actors decide what set dressing their characters would have to what Jennie's wedding dress would look like. I am very excited about expanding my own experience in working with a small group instead of a cast of 15 like I am used to. I am so lucky to have such a wonderful opportunity to grow as an artist.
I did get a bit of a bomb dropped on my from the tech director from the theatre last night. They want to have a rental in on the weekend I was planning to put my set up. I do not support this but I understand that the theatre needs the extra finances this show would provide. This is just a difficult position for myself because I want the theatre to have that but it will be in the expense of my show. Hopefully, it will all work out in the end.
