Delighted to launch this blog with a photo of our only cast member so far, the lovely and talented Emily Gleason, who'll be taking on the role of Lenin, the sister who doesn't die. As you know, Boomcracklefly is written by Charise Castro Smith, and we'll be producing it at Miracle next Spring. Reese and I have been talking for a few months about the play, a conversation which began with feedback from our play selection committee, Francesca Sanders, Andrew Golla and Karin Magaldi. Some of the comments that have emerged had to do with identifying motivations, learning more about the characters, and finding the core passion of the play. The conversation continues...
Auditions will begin later this week, in the hopes that we'll be fully cast by the end of August (21-25?) when we're planning to have a play development workshop with Reese here at Milagro! So, it seemed like a good time to open up the conversation to our creative team, imagining there are more questions and comments that we can discuss together.
Thoughts?
