The Odd Couple
CASTING PLAN
Thursday, September 13, 2012

Thanks and congratulations for the excellent audition work.  You made our job difficult, which is just the way we like it.

Please INITIAL by your name to accept your role assignment.  Hard copies of the notice will be posted on the theatre door, and on the STAGE callboard in the music hallway.

If for any reason you will not accept your role, please inform me ASAP in writing or in person.  Any personnel change will require us to do some shuffling.

If we were not able to assign you a cast position at this time, please consider working on the other aspects of the production as much as your schedule allows.  The first general stage crew organizational meeting will be TUESDAY September 18 at 2:20 in the auditorium.

If any changes to the cast are needed, we’ll notify you personally if an onstage spot for you develops – and that does happen once in a while!

UNDERSTUDIES have not been assigned particular tracks yet – we will discuss an action plan for understudies at the first set of readthroughs.  Plan to come to the readthrough matching your gender – guys to the male show, girls to the female.  If you can come to both, please do. 

CAST – you should come to the readthrough of the show you’ve been assigned to but you are welcome to come to the other one as well.

CREW CHIEFS – you should attend both if you can, to get a sense of the difference between the two.  You will be creating two separate prompt books.

The MALE VERSION readthrough is Thursday (today), September 13 at 2:30.  Plan to stay until 5pm to give us time to read the whole script.

The FEMALE VERSION readthrough is Friday (tomorrow), September 14 at 2:30.  .  Plan to stay until 5pm to give us time to read the whole script.

All casting and work assignments are based on the completion of all paperwork – application, contract and resume – by TUESDAY, September 18.  All CONFLICTS should be entered into VSM by that time as well.

Positions that are open (TBD, or To Be Determined – you’ll have the opportunity to interview for those positions.  Let me know if you are interested in any of them.

Once again, thank you for the work and effort you’ve put in to the audition process.

ODD COUPLE AUDITION UPDATE
I NEED ONE MORE SHORT AUDITION SESSION TOMORROW!

                Sorry folks, but we are not quite ready to post a final list – we have a little more info that we need from a few people.  So I am asking for the following people to come to another audition Wednesday after school – 2:20 until 3:00 or so.

Kira Appelman
Michiko Feehan
Diana Garcia-Mejia
Quiana Jewell
Abigail Kullberg
AJ Modica (absent  from callback Tuesday night)
Vidya Shaker
Anna Toretsky

Everyone else – I know it’s cruel, but we are asking you to wait a little longer for the final list – we want to get it right, and this extra session will help us do that.  The final list will go up tomorrow night, some time after back to school night.

Remember, male cast meets Thursday, female cast meets Friday – and crew chiefs come both days!
