Well, I finished, typed, formatted, printed out, copied, and sent my new "RACHAEL RAY'S FOOD NETWORK NIGHTMARE"  script....It literally took all of last week to get done.  Auditions for it are next week (Tuesday & Wednesday/June 23rd & 24th)...So, I am preparing for that. I have been posting on my local Craigslist for actors and I got responses from that.  I need a Stage Manager, Racheal Ray, Bobby Flay, and Gordon Ramsey.  I lifted my over 18 restrictions, too.  I am allowing The Universe to work and send unto me the right people for the parts.  If you or someone you know would like to audition for my show, here is the info! (PASS IT ALONG, PLEASE)

White Rose Productions will be holding auditions for it's Fall/Winter 2009 Murder Mystery Dinner Theater Show "RACHEAL RAY'S FOOD NETWORK NIGHTMARE" at Colonial House Restaurant & Bar, 131 Howertown Rd. Catasauqua, Pa. 18032 @ 7:00PM. Needed are men and women to portray the roles of Rachael Ray, Bobby Flay, and Gordon Ramsay. A Stage Manager is also needed. No experience necessary. All roles are paid. Audition dates are TUESDAY, JUNE 23rd 2009 & WEDNESDAY JUNE 24th 2009. This show will be available for tours from October, 2009 through April, 2010. Great characters! Going to be a fun show to do! Come on out to auditions! For more info call Cheryl Lynn @ 484-221-9620.

I do pay my actors.  I am one of the very few in my area that does this.  Quite frankly, I am surprised that I am not swarmed at auditions with people.  They do not need experience.  I prefer this by the way.  Seriously, this trained actor stuff gets in the way.  I break the rules, folks!!  I am a firm believer you either got it or you don't.  No amount of teaching or classes can give you "it"...I have turned down some offers in the past to teach acting.  Goes against what I believe.   This is also a fantastic opportunity to new actors to "get their feet" wet and this experience does not hurt to be put on a resume, either.

On the downside and the reason I do pay my actors is it is a committment of time on their part.  They must be available for rehearsals and tours.   I have no understudies.  If an actor gives me a conflict date BEFORE I schedule a show, I will accomodate him.  However, this is my livlihood and I must book as many shows as I can within the tour time.   It's the business part of show business.

Anyway, I have auditions coming up next week.  Plus, Monday-Food Shopping..Tuesday& Wednesday-Auditions, Thursday-Carnival...Friday-"Lucy" Show...Saturday-Psychic Salon

No days off...

Oh well, what else is new, huh?
