  • As of Today
    As of today we have still not had a run through with music and the entire cast. Actually, we haven't had a run through with music and a partial cast. Things are getting interesting. On the plus side, the show has some of the best tap dancing I've seen in community theater; no, make that the absolute best! Laci DeLuca is a really good choreographer and the dancers kick butt.  I have the typical gripes; people not knowing their lines, people not acting but just going through the motions. I am pretty sure things will tighten up as people begin to get really anxious  because the show is going up in a week!

    As of today I'm not going to do the talent showcase. Just not a good time. I am way too busy and not really ready to make the move.

    As of today there is nothing except G&S to audition for. Speaking of Savoy, I have received a number of cautionary e-mails from former Savoyards warning me away. I don't know what to make of this. No one has actually written and said, "The Savoy?! Great!" It's been more about the insular nature of the company and the extremely long rehearsal time frame.
