Cake... or Bread and Butter...

“I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read in the train.” 

And, so begins another creative journey.  This time to 1890's London and Hertfordshire, as we undertake one of my favorite plays, Oscar Wilde's THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST.    Having directed this previously, I will strive to create a fresher, newer view on the play.  We will remain fairly traditional in sensibilities, setting and themes, while applying a few more modern ideals and twists.  

This delightful little excursion will culminate with production June 26th through July 6th, 2014 at Brookville Community Theatre.

During the rehearsal process, we will travel through many of the styles and themes in the text; delve into the lifestyle of the period; and (hopefully) turn this into a delectable treat to be savoured.

AUDITIONS:  May 7th and 8th at Brookville Community Theatre.  7pm.

• Auditions will include reading from the script and improvisation. 
• Those auditioning are asked to bring a resume (or experience list), photo (if possible), and a list of all potential rehearsal conflicts from May 7th to July 6th, 2014.
• British dialects WILL be used in this show and training WILL be provided.

REHEARSALS:  Rehearsals and Tablework will begin on Tuesday, May 13th.  

• We are currently looking at a Tuesday & Wednesday, with occasional Thursday and Saturday rehearsals, but this may change based on actor availability.  
• Tech and Production weeks, will likely run Monday to Thursday and Saturday, if required.  
• The formal rehearsal schedule will be created around all actor conflicts given at auditions, and not all actors will be called to all rehearsals.  
• If you have conflicts, don't count yourself out... we will try to work with predefined conflicts, if at all possible.  

I will strive to post regularly with photos and updates on the process, so stay on board!
