Directing Grease again! I might have to kill myself now. I held auditions and I was suprised that I was able to cast the whole show with the auditions!
But before this happened, we have already had lots of ups and downs on this adventure. For one, we were suppose to do this LAST YEAR, and the license didn't get approved in time. Then, I had some issues with Divas in my way... and we all know that Raven don't talk Diva! Then we have too many Chiefs and not enough Indians. Then, when we had auditions full of young 10 - 14 year olds and older people! I was like... This play is going to end up being "Grease! Before high school", or "Grease! The 20 year high school reunion" show! Man.. I was like no way! I am all for casting older actors over young ones.... cause face it, I don't like Stage moms in my face....lol Eventually a group came together and feels like the T birds and the Pink Ladies and I think we got this!
Now I am trying to get everyone lined out with their jobs... Set construction, painters, Prop Director, Costume Director, Music Director and Choreographer! There is a lot to do and everyone has a job! My deal is.... I have no idea who is doing what?!? Gotta figure this out quick!
We are going to rent mics (thanks to Guymon Community Theatre) and sing with a track... which scares me... but will sound so much better! First two weeks is hard cause of the blocking. Then after that comes the RE BLOCKING! Ugh.... again, I think I might shoot myself!
Just ready to see some progress even though we haven't even had our first on stage practice yet! I might be a little impatient!
