This was something people could enjoy and not have to spend a lot of money on. |
Usually I order six to eight books and pick out something. Some years it's hard and other years something just jumps out. I put a little time in casting. I try to get the personality to fit an actor. Sometimes I read a play and know who belongs to a role right away. And, I've done a lot of begging in the last 20 years. |
We still won't have had the whole cast practice together up until three weeks before production. |
We're so small, everyone has to be involved in everything. These are all volunteers. No one gets a dime and they're spending their own money on gas and babysitters as well as other donations to the play. |
When I asked for participants, their first response was 'yes.' It was awesome. |
