Securing The Path

Well the last month has been very challenging (to say the least.) So here are the updates:

Casting: Casting is almost complete. Casting has almost been complete for over a month, however we keep losing cast members to National Tours and Broadway. Such is the price for brining in highly talented artists. We just had one cast member leave our production becuase they have been cast as an immediate replacement in the National Tour of Wicked. To date we are missing 3 cast members. The current cast list is as follows:

Dorothy : Kelsey Crouch Pinter

Scarecrow: Ben Franklin (Ben perviously worked on our acclaimed production of CATS in 2004)

Tin Man: Chad Coudriet (A graduate of the Musical Theatre program at Baldwin Wallace College

Lion: Michael Daly (Michael was seen previously in our production of Singin' In the Rain 2006)

Witch: TBA

Glinda: Mallorie Fletcher

Aunt Em: Jessica Kadamenos (Seen in Singin in the Rain 2006)

Uncle Henry/Wizard: Michael Ianucci (Seen in CATS 2004)

Ensemble: Chip Abbot, Joey Abramowitcz, Paul Aguirre, Michael Dale, Lani Corson, Amber Mack, Katrina Newman and others

We are currently casting 10 Teenage cast members and 30 children for this enourmous production.

The Set: Has been Designed and is currently in the construction phase at our scene shop. I am attaching a picture of Robert Kovach's design (see above)

The Costumes: Wohoah...the costumes. Dale DiBernardo has taken on a huge project. Also attached are some of the prelim designs for the show. We are so excited about the production values of the show.

The Puppets: Robin Van Lear and Ian Petroni are designing and executing some really amazing and fantastic pieces for this production. In the next few days we will post images of the costumes and puppets as designed by Dale, Robin and Ian.
