RENT CAST NOTICE!!!!

RENT CAST MATERIAL PICK-UP

It's great to hear that some of you are eager to get started . . . however, you won't be able to pick up your RENT materials until

TUESDAY, 12/21, BETWEEN 1-3, IN THE BLACK BOX THEATRE

Just as my casting notice reads here :-)

So . . . PLEASE stop by the Black Box Theatre tomorrow, between 1-3 pm to pick up your cd's and music. This will be the only time that I will be available over break to deliver this to you . . . and this is material you need to be OFF-BOOK for when we return in two weeks.

ENSEMBLE: I only have a CD of a couple of the ensemble songs on it (with vocals and without vocals) for you . . . no sheet music, yet.

Okay? Okay. I look forward to seeing each of you tomorrow!

RENT CAST LIST

FIRST, let me just say (and I speak for Mr. Grier and Ms. Fisher, as well) that EVERYONE who auditioned did a great job!! We really appreciate your TIME, ENERGY and PASSION this week. After long deliberation, we have finalized our cast for RENT, with the exception of the character of COLLINS.

The role of COLLINS is still under consideration. We will hold an OPEN AUDITION for the role of COLLINS (only). Male members of the Ensemble (who would like to be considered) should attend this audition. This COLLINS audition will take place Tuesday, January 4, at 4pm, in the Chorus Room. This audition is OPEN TO ANYONE INTERESTED IN THE ROLE OF COLLINS - including those who previously auditioned.

If your name appears on this list, please stop by the Black Box theatre on Tuesday, 12/21, between 1-3 pm, to pick up your RENT package (things you are expected to learn over break).
