auditions have not been successful...
From the rate this goes, Jimson and I look set to be going down the Kevin Spacey way - the man wrote, directed and starred in the Bobby Darin biopic Beyond the Sea. Everyone seems uninterested in acting in the play, people are backing out at the last minute, or give tons of excuses for not wanting to commit. Everytime we set an audition date only one person turns up in the end, so in the end precious time is wasted moving around to meet these people when it could have been used for studying or just resting. In fact, we've only managed to see 4 people, some of whom were coerced to come fill in the places through pleading and begging (ironically, these people who were 'forced' were quite the potential ones).
The problem is, we want to get the casting done asap so that we can start rehearsals by Dec in time for the performance in June (most people are having exams in Nov so we need to catch these people now). Gets a tad frustrating, you know.
Jimson declared yesterday, "I am NOT begging these people to come for auditions anymore!!! We'll just get our hands dirty and act as well!"
And I thought directors are the ones who are supposed put on airs, not casting candidates...

Pearl you might have to do a Stephen Chow; act, write, produce, direct, edit, promote, everythinG! Ever thought of changing your play into a monologue? What is it abt anyway? Publish your script!
Yeah... that's a scary thought!
What's it about? Eh, obviously can't post the entire script cos 1) it's not finished, 2) if I post it here, no one's gonna come to watch mah. Meanwhile, I can reveal that the story deals with issues relating to psychiatric disorders and simply ordinary people coping with what life throws at them.
Yup, that's the result of the combined imagination of a psychology student and an occupational therapist, haha...
Will post the synopsis here in due time. Watch this space!
heh if you're acting i wanna watch! haha.. actually since you're directing already, i also wanna watch! hahah.. :)
Yay yay, come support! ^o^ Will send out the invitations personally!
Pearl, definitely can do a monologue. One person acts as 10 characters. If you're doing it and if it is in the weekends, ha ha! Send me the invitation I may be able to drop by! Who knows?
