TW6: More Casting Info!

In preparation for auditions on Tuesday 11/28, please note the following:

#1

There is casting flexibility in LOST_FOR_WORDS depending on how auditions play out and who illustrates the strongest audition and approach to the characters.  The roles of JACKY, SAM, and ALEX will be cast in one of two ways; the character descriptions should, therefore, look like:

JACKY - Male; bi

SAM - Female; straight

ALEX - Male; gay

OR

JACKY - Female; bi

SAM - Male; straight

ALEX - Female; gay

#2

Please remember that the scripts as currently written are the audition drafts. The plays are not complete.  The first weeks of rehearsal will all be about exploration of the scripts, the content, the roles, the interpretations, etc.  The playwrights and a dramaturg will be in and out of rehearsals to assess and take in feedback.  Rewrites will take place and once winter break is over, the staging drafts will be used to put the show on its feet, memorize, and elevate to the full production.  It's a thrilling process to participate in new work development, and we are eager to continue the collaboration with SW2 and offer students the experience of what it's often like to bring new plays to life in the professional theatre world!
