Cast List
Thanks for participating in a wonderful cast meeting today. The production team is pleased to announce our final casting decisions. Some roles are double cast, and some roles have understudies. Double-cast roles will be scheduled for two performances each. When not performing, the double-cast actor will be assisting as a dresser. The actual performance dates for double-cast roles will be announced after the rehearsals in August. Understudies are not guaranteed a performance.
Scripts will be mailed to those who did not receive them within two weeks. One full script, plot summary, and reference recording was left today in the Carolina Room. If you left your materials, please e-mail Liz.
High schoolers, see the Internship Credit section to see if you wish to pursue an internship.
Thank you for all of your hard work. We are looking forward to seeing you on August 13, at 10 AM in the Carolina Room ready to work. Feel free to e-mail Liz at anytime with any question you might have.
