CAST LIST
FOR
IMAGINARY INVALID
Thank you all for auditioning. Your talent and commitment made the decision very difficult. Mr. Itkin and I could have cast the show in three totally different ways but we feel that this is the best combination. Please bear in mind that this cast list is tentative; we reserve the right to make changes as we see fit depending on the best needs of the show and unforeseen situations.
Thank you again for your commitment and your talent!
ARGON Elizabeth Giron
TOINETTE Taryn Cohen
ANGELIQUE Chelsea Simmons
CLEANTE Edgar Gonzalez-Aguilar
LOUISE Diana Caldera
BELINE Vanessa Gray
DIAFOIRUS Zack Moore
THOMAS Grace MacMillan
PURGON Andoni (I don't have your last name)
BERALDE Phoenix Mason
BONNEFOI Emma Elam
FLEURANT Hayden Goldschein
Some of you might think, "Hey, but I didn't even audition for that role!" A director doesn't have to read an actor for a specific role to know that the actor would be right for it.
For those of you who were not cast, please do not be too upset. Everyone who read showed talent. We just couldn't cast everyone and not everyone - regardless of talent - will be right for every role. There are many of you who are greatly talented and would be cast in leads if we were doing Lorca or another heavy drama, but this time around it's a comedy and the comedic actors are given a shot. However, I would love to use those of you who were not cast in other roles and in other capacities.
I do not know for sure if I can get back from Burbank tomorrow and Tuesday in time for after school rehearsals; therefore, there won't be after school rehearsals on Monday and Tuesday. On Monday and Tuesday, during 6th period, we will watch The Marx Brother's DUCK SOUP, so you can get a sense of the manic energy Moliere requires. We will stay until five on Wednesday and Thursday and begin working on the first act. Elizabeth, Taryn, Chelsea, Vanessa, and Emma will stay this week.
Again, thank you for your work, your time and your talent.
Ms. Kate Bridges

Some of you might think, "Hey, but I didn't even audition for that role!" A director doesn't have to read an actor for a specific role to know that the actor would be right for it.
For those of you who were not cast, please do not be too upset. Everyone who read showed talent. We just couldn't cast everyone and not everyone - regardless of talent - will be right for every role. There are many of you who are greatly talented and would be cast in leads if we were doing Lorca or another heavy drama, but this time around it's a comedy and the comedic actors are given a shot. However, I would love to use those of you who were not cast in other roles and in other capacities.
I do not know for sure if I can get back from Burbank tomorrow and Tuesday in time for after school rehearsals; therefore, there won't be after school rehearsals on Monday and Tuesday. On Monday and Tuesday, during 6th period, we will watch The Marx Brother's DUCK SOUP, so you can get a sense of the manic energy Moliere requires. We will stay until five on Wednesday and Thursday and begin working on the first act. Elizabeth, Taryn, Chelsea, Vanessa, and Emma will stay this week.
Again, thank you for your work, your time and your talent.
Ms. Kate Bridges

Agenda for the Week of June 19th
for
Advanced Acting
Monday, June 19th:
Today we will be having auditions for the “Jerry Melton” acting scholarship during 5th and 6th period in #503. For those of you who aren’t auditioning you must either rehearse or if your partner(s) are auditioning then you must study your lines quietly. You will be informed where to meet at 1:15 pm.
Tuesday, June 20th:
Today we will determine the order of the scenes on Thursday and Friday. I will then work with the first group that’s going up on Thursday, June 22nd.
Wednesday, June 21st:
Today I will work with the next group that’s up on Thursday.
For Thursday and Friday, I have invited a few teachers and classes to come and observe your acting final.
You must turn in on the day of your performance your acting notebook which must include your script with blocking, your “person, place and thing” project, your “objective” project, your character biography and your character’s“A Day in the LIfe”. Failure to do so will result in an immediate lowering of your grade by one letter.
You are responsible for getting your own costumes, props, furniture and music. If you need help I will certainly lend assistance, but DO NOT wait until the day of the performance to tell me. You should have your costumes, props and furniture lined up and ready to go by Tuesday at the latest.
Suburban Motel, Whose Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and the monologue from Death and the Maiden will be performed at the top of the 6th period final. Mr. Itkin, Mr. Goldyn and I will be present for your audtions. Please be aware that other actors from outside your class will also be auditioning at this time for admission to the Fall Play Production Class. You may also use this as your audition piece for admission to the production class.
