If a recent project isn't turning out the way you'd anticipated, it's time to use your built-in escape route. Implement Plan B like the brilliant superhero you know are. A great opportunity is coming soon -- flex your flexibility!
The official auditions were a major disappointment, to be certain. But the production itself has been in full swing for some weeks now, as the behind the scenes team has been underway with work, ideas, and steadily building the show's momentum. Given the material, it seems apropos to allow it to morph organically.
Aesthetically the skeletal structure of the animal that encompasses this play's production team is growing thick and sturdy. As for the meat and the heart of the production, I am feeling set on half of my cast - both of which were in one manner of speaking or another, personally hand-picked and not due to the open call. Communications back and forth with my (tentatively) other two cast member considerations has been with ease, but less frequent than I would hope it to be.
Today marks two months until the show opens.
This makes me a little uneasy, given how challenging this material may be to pull off. My last show was assembled in just shy of three months rehearsal. By comparison, most of the production credits did change hand about five weeks out. The show was about unstable mental states, which certainly accounted for a lot of the dramas that went down outside of production.
This show is about core needs, like sex, eating, and music. A party, by comparison.
