...and I apologize! My resolution for this year is to start keeping it up on a regular basis!
We're holding our first set of auditions tomorrow for RABBIT HOLE, the Pulitzer Prize winning show from David Lindsay Abaire. The show deals with a family's loss of a child and how they cope...or fail to cope. It's a gorgeous show and I'm so excited to start working on it!
One thing that's hard about RABBIT HOLE is that there are 5 characters. We have a TON of talent- we have always been blessed with amazing talent at ECC- and it's very hard to cast some shows when everyone is so good. I chose RABBIT HOLE because its a challenge for me as a director and for the 5 actors- but I know there will be some hurt feelings. I hope everyone realizes that it's incredibly hard on a director to have to cast some shows. Being an actor means putting yourself out there for rejection- that's the actors life. I admire everyone who comes through that door to audition- they are so brave and so fearless. Sometimes putting up the cast list feels like a little death. It's very hard.
But enough about me moping about being OVERBURDENED with acting talent (we are so lucky)- here's to a great season!
