Casting into the wee small hours

Wow... what a turnout. It think that was a record.
We cast our next play 'Daisy Pulls It Off' last night. Paul Cullen is directing this autumn for us, returning to the fold after several years. Paul has been a member of Leeson Park Players since 1986 and is a highly experienced director, drama teacher, band manager... We're delighted he agreed to 'come back' to us - not that he ever Really went away.
The new cast has a few Returners too which is brilliant, and a few Newcomers. There were so many people to hear and consider though that the end of deliberations had to occur sitting in the car in the carpark as we'd run over time and were chucked out of the room. Anyway, job done - difficult though it was.
So, on to rehearsals and fun and learning lines and struggling with learning lines and finding props and building sets and putting on costumes and make up and running around in the dark backstage and focusing lights and On With The Show!
