On Thursday, our group met at the Theatre Communications Group Offices for a Costume Conversation with Broadway designer David Woolard.
That evening we traveled the Shubert Theatre for To Kill a Mockingbird (with 2019 Tony Award Winner Celia Keenan-Bolger and Jeff Daniels).
Friday was our exclusive Casting Experience with Chad Murnane of Binder Casting and director Nicolas Minas at Ripley-Grier Studios. Nick will helm our season-opening production of Guys & Dolls in fall 2019.
Tom, Chad, and Nick talked through the process of casting before actors “auditioned” for Guys and Dolls. The group was able to experience what it’s really like in the audition room and be a part of the discussion afterward. It was really exciting to hear all the different "final cast" ideas from everyone.
