Thank you for all the hard work and time that you put into the audition. Casting is always a difficult process, and it was made most difficult, given the immense talent we saw on display.  Playwright Ellen Margolis and I feel that we've decided on a stellar ensemble to premiere this piece.  But we are also well aware of the many actors who are now disappointed.  My sincere wish is that those not cast take time to heal from this moment - and then jump right back into your pursuits.  And my biggest wish is that many of you will work on the show in other ways.  This is a fantastic theatre department with a deep talent pool.  Not everyone can be cast in every show...but everyone has a place in making each show a success.  We at Playwrights West feel very privileged to be in your home.  I can't wait to get to work!
