Scheduling actors

The mockumentary has a large cast, which has been difficult to schedule together. Fortunately, the structure here is driven by monologues/interviews, solo actors. Otherwise I'm not sure we could do it. Reminds me of definite advantages of small cast shows.

The next project, 5 short scripts by John Donnelly, won't be as hard to schedule, I assume, since the casts are small. This will be especially fun to get away from my own writing and work on interpreting someone else's stories.

The feature for the summer seems more formidable than when I decided on it. I may rethink this. Depends on scheduling my two main actors, I think.

I am especially eager to return to the video chamber opera project. A real challenge.
