It's been a busy weekend! The auditions wrapped up today for Children of Eden, and as always I'm impressed by the talent in this area. It's going to be a terrific show, as some of the area's top young performers bring the story to life. I'm also glad I don't have to make the final casting decisions, because so many skilled young actors are in the running!
The cast will probably be announced within the next couple of weeks - I'll post it here as soon as it's available!
I also found it interesting to watch how the director, Jack Cirillo, ran his auditions - they were different from any other I'd been part of, as he incorporated quite a bit of play-acting and improvisation into the process, in addition to the usual singing and dancing audition.
Working with a professional like Jack (not to mention the rest of his terrific directing team) and staging the show at Marshall's Experimental Theater is a great opportunity for these students. Can't wait to see the finished show!
