CASTING!

[Nikola Barsoum]

Hello Water Works Tour!

I'm Nikola, your tour play director. I just finished my Otesha tour a few weeks ago, and I'm excited to work with all of you in preparation for your tour. It will be an amazing thing!!

Casting for the play "Cycling Through Change" will begin today, and everyone should have their roles confirmed by Friday August 3rd. That way you'll have time to prepare and memorize your lines before training week starts.

So, this is pretty simple process. Seeing as we are currently spread all over this great country, we won't actually be doing auditions. Instead, you will sign up for your role(s) below! Just type your name beside the role and hit POST. Easy-peasy. For small roles, take more than one (making sure they are in different scenes of course. You laugh, but this happened on my tour).  Don't be afraid to challenge yourself - that is what this tour all about! If you have your heart set on a specific role, sign up early! If there is more than one person who really wants a role, don't stress! Sign up, and we'll sort it out at training week (hint: you'll have a better chance at the role if you know all your lines!).  If you have any questions, feel free to ask me! 

And here we go!

Hello Water Works Tour, 

I know you are all putting lots of energy into ramping up for tour, so at this time I'd like to re-invite you to think about your role in the play. As a cycling and performing tour, the play is obviously a major component!  It will be the most cohesive medium through which your message of empowerment and open dialogue takes place. 

As you may know, we only have 10 hours in total during training week to awaken the script into being! This is totally do-able, especially if we have some key roles assigned before training week begins. Willow, Charlie, and Laure are the roles with the most lines. I'd like to make sure that they are filled by the end of this week.

Michele has volunteered to be Willow. Who would like to be Charlie and Laure?

To reiterate, these roles are totally flexible! They each can be played by either gender, and roles within the play can totally be traded among tour members once your guys hit the road!  Signing up now means that you come to training week comfortable with your lines.  IT WILL HELP SO MUCH. Less time reading off a page...more time having fun with things like blocking and props! WHoopie!!!

Beautiful days for Otesha plays, 

Nikola

Perfect!!  Thanks Sofia for becoming Laure! Now all we need is a dedicated Charlie. This is a really fun role, and might speak best to someone in the group who is really fond of a good protest or rally!

Long last the Water Works cast, 

Nikola 

[Marina Neytcheva]

Are we still missing a Charlie? If that's still the case, I can be Charlie, instead of Alyssa, Willow's mom, and Emily. Does that work? I was hoping to look at the script and start memorizing lines this weekend, so let me know :).

Marina

[Nikola Barsoum]

Hi Marina, 

Yes, we are still looking for Charlie! Thank you for stepping up to this. It's a really fun role to play, and we had an amazing girl play Charlie on my tour too. 

Well that seals the deal for the lead roles. Great timing too as TW is on the horizon! 

See you all soon!

Memorizing roles on grassy knolls, 

Nikola

[Marina Neytcheva]

One more question. Do we need to print out the script and bring it with us, or will you have some scripts on hand for us at training week?

[meriza_mb]

Hey Marina,

If you still want to play your original choices of Alyssa, Willow's mom and Emily, I was also thinking of playing Charlie. Let me know what you think.

Hi Meriza,

Sure, you can be Charlie, and I'm reverting back to Alyssa, Willow's mom, and Emily. Happy line memorizing :).

Hey guys,

I would like to be the seller and the trucker and then possibly some other small roles.  I enjoy playing multiple characters and different ones especially.  

Hope that's cool!

Hey guys,

I'd like to be Andrew, Young Charlie and Billy Ray, if that's ok.
