- Wow, does my head hurt. Great second night of try-outs. I see about four different ways to cast this show. Each has it's pros and cons. I'm going to let things bounce around in my head tonight. Hope to get confirmations from final cast choices by the end of the weekend, and have a public cast announced by the first of next week. Stay tuned!

- First night of try-outs were a lot of fun. It's enjoyable for me as director to watch other people bring these wonderful characters to life. It gives me another perspective on the show. We have often in the past put together an ensemble and created a production of a show that cast and crew wished they could share with the author. There have been times were we thought we nailed what he or she was trying to say. We hope to do that again of course, but this time, we'll get to find out if we are correct in our feelings. One more night of try-outs Thursday Jan 24th at 7pm, Elkader Opera House stage. Several voices yet to be heard from. Are you one of them? Be part of this world premiere event.
