Thank you, all who auditioned today! So much great talent, and was really happy to see so many bold choices when performing these silly roles! Here is who is called back for additional reading tomorrow. IMPORTANT: If you do not see your name on this callback list, that does not mean you are not cast!

We will gather together in the Black Box Studio Theatre at 3:20, to talk about the process, and perhaps do some warm-up/improv work, then you will have time to go out and rehearse with your scene partner. We will be finished no later than 6PM, but please be prepared to stay until 6PM.

Excellent work from everyone who auditioned! So much amazing talent! Tomorrow (Friday) we will need to call back a few folks to read a bit more. Here’s who should come back to the black box tomorrow after school (we will try to keep the callbacks as brief as possible!)

King: Jack Deason, Josh Caveney
Marguerite: Mira Jansen, Lucia LaViolette
Marie: Nobie Zur, Hallie Jones, Lucy Lorenzen
Doctor: Reed Jordan, Jack Walters
Juliette:* Portland Stock Cleaver, Luci LaViolette
*There will be a new scene to read between Juliette and The King – it’s basically Juliette’s monologue from the initial auditions, but with the King’s dialog restored. We’ll have copies of it for you all tomorrow.

Please look over the Callback scenes to familiarize them, but we will provide a list of who will read with whom. We shall all gather in the Black Box and discuss the process, then give groups time to prepare, then read.

If you don’t see your name listed in the callbacks above, remember to check back to look at the cast list Friday night or Saturday – not all roles are being called back.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Jon Ares, the director – aresj@wlwv.k12.or.us.

We are really looking forward to tomorrow! Thank you, everyone!
