Casting is Closed

We held auditions for Pirates of Patmos tonight.  A decent group showed up — some familiar faces and new ones too.  I’m happy to say that we filled all of the available roles.  We took a few “risks” in casting some characters, but hopefully they will pay off.  

Casting is such a difficult process, especially when you are the writer.  As I’m writing a script, I have an image of the character in my head, but I don’t always see that person in the auditions. 

Unfortunately, you have to go with what you have.  For the most part, I’m pleased with the decisions we made.  I feel very confident in the casting of the male roles, but I’m a little nervous about some of the female casting decisions.   I guess we’ll know in a few weeks after we get a couple of rehearsals under our belt.

Once rehearsals begin, I’ll take some pictures and provide a “behind the scenes” look at the production.
