Excited about all the interest! I'll start sending out time slots to the folks who have emailed on Thursday. If you cannot make auditions but are very interested and available for all rehearsals and performances, send us an email and we'll see what we can work out.

I'm almost definitely going to the auditions, but I have to ask. After two full months of rehearsals, the show will continue to hold rehearsals during the run? So, four full months of rehearsals? Whoa, that's a whole fuckton of rehearsing.

I think it will continue for at least July. It's always hard to tell how much is necessary. In Process, we've needed it because we've been taking on certain genres along the way. However, with this show and being a small case, it may not be necessary. We shall play it by ear.

The first 3:30 of this clip is a great example of typical Woody Allen round-table pontificating

"Do you have fun with me?"

An excellent example of how Woody uses more fantastical elements played in a grounded, realistic way

Yikes, I emailed about 12 hours after the deadline. If there's a slot still open, I'd love to nab it, thanks.
