Producing Harriet's House 13: One More Round of Auditions

This week saw another round of auditions for the lead role of Harriet and a decision to extend our search for one more week. Director Jocelyn Wickett, Production Manager Gillian Lewis, Assistant Producer Monica Nunes and I will hold a final set of auditions for the lead role of Harriet next Tuesday April 27, 2010. For an opportunity to audition, please e-mail: gaileyroad@gmail.com

This week I also met with my colleague Marcia Johnson, playwright and producer of Say Ginger Ale and her director Sue Miner to discuss a production and publicity plan for Say Ginger Ale. Say Ginger Ale will be performed at Summerworks this coming August.

The play tells the story of Nadia who was born in Jamaica and was raised in Canada. She's a girl who becomes irked and offended when people assume that she pines for her homeland. She insists that she is happier in Canada and that there is more to a country than its weather. When Nadia makes an unexpected trip back to Jamaica, however, she discovers some long forgotten feelings about the country of her birth. This journey helps her to rediscover Jamaica while still appreciating all that her adopted country has to offer. There may even be a shot at love. Look for Say Ginger Ale this August at Summerworks.

All the best,
Tara
