"Alexander" Is Off And Running! (So is "Charlotte!")

Tonight was the first cast meeting for both Alexander, Who's Not Not Not Not Not Not Going to Move and Charlotte's Web.

I was at the "Alexander" rehearsal (since I'm directing it), and it was a promising start! The cast is small - an even dozen actors - but they're a good group, and music director Mark Smith worked with them on the opening song - and it already sounds great. Pretty impressive for the first run-through!

We also introduced the newest cast member - playing the part of "Dad" is Travis McElroy, a veteran of past shows and a recent college graduate who studied theatre in Oklahoma. We're lucky to have such a talented performer in our cast!

Judging by all the laughter during the rehearsal, I think it's going to be a fun show!
