Update...

As of right now, everyone I cast is all in and excited.
WHOOOOOT!!!!

I went ahead and cancelled the read through.
It would be too maddening to cope with staying out of the way of the LJJ folks.
Plus, some of our cast is in LJJ, so we wouldn't even have everyone together.
BUT, we start in a week....
And I am so pumped!!

Today's auditions

Aaaaah...
First day is over.
And it was fantastic.
We had a nice blend of new kids and veterans.
20 people in all, ranging from 7 years old to 19.
I'm sure about half of them will come back tomorrow night, which will be awesome.
That way I can mix-n-match kids from today and tomorrow.
Yay!
If tomorrow goes as well as today, we are going to have a really nice cast for the show.
James is seems concerned that only a few folks will show up for the auditions because of the superbowl.
Though that is a plausible situation, I told him, "If people really want to audition, they'll show up. Otherwise they weren't that interested in the show to begin with...."
:o)
I have a feeling, however, we'll have a good number of fresh faces with which to work...

We may not be able to do the read-through at all if Little Johnny Jones is rehearsing this week, which means we'll just go right into rehearsals on the 9th.
I really holding my breath and praying Susan decides to do the brush up on the 12th (Thursday) instead of the 10th or 11th, both of which are days we T.I. folks have scheduled for our first blocking rehearsals.
Not fun....
I'm sure it will all work out though.
:o)
Hopefully, by Monday we'll have castlist to post.....

So...

We have four days.
I can now use one hand to count down the days til auditions.
YAY!

Little Johnny Jones starts this weekend.
I would love for everyone to go out and support the cast.
If you take a non-perishable item, you get a dollar off your ticket.
The cast is dedicating the show to our troops and has adopted a troop in afghanistan, to whom they are sending a care package.
I love it.
There are adults and kids in the show, and I think it should be really great.
