Hello everyone---I hope that you have seen by now that this blog is the way I will communicate with the parents and actors during this short but special process. Yesterday we had a fabulous first read thru of the show. I love it when I hear the kids read thru their lines for the first time. With out sounding "full of myself", I left rehearsal yesterday knowing that I do a great job casting my shows. I am so lucky having wonderful help doing so, and each of us left yesterday with a smile on our face. Jungle Book is a GREAT show. I have been waiting to do it with Mt. Bethel for a long time now. I finally believe that with this group of kids it will be spectacular. Please trust my process, and know that I am always doing what is best for your child and most importantly for "OUR SHOW"!! I can't wait to see all of you at the parents meeting tomorrow in the MEDIA CENTER at 4pm!!!!!
