It's not quite New Year's yet but I woke up on my last day of vacation over Christmas and had a sizeable panic attack about the fact that rehearsals start in about 8 weeks!!! And I still have much to do before we get to the fun part!
So I'll start with the "wanna help?" part....
1) The time to call churches is just around the corner. I am hoping to have group sales for every performance and could use some assistance with the phoning. If you've been watching this journey unfold but didn't know how to help, I will take your time and phone minutes - gratefully. No. Seriously. I will have a script ready by January 2, 2013 and would be so appreciative you were up to making phone calls for an hour or seven.
2) Time to start assembling a crew. We are in need of crew members to commit to the entire run of the show including tech week. That's most of the week (read: every night but Monday) beginning on March 12 and then for performances the second week, March 20-23. The show will run under an hour and a half. We need crew for Box Office, House Management, Run crew (props/set moving) and Wardrobe crew for fast changes and applying blood and such.
3) Unbelieveably, I need a non-union stage manager. I had a great girl lined up and she is following her dream west, to LA. Good for her. Not so great for me. This person will need experience.
In other news, I am still looking for about 4 ensemble cast members who will play disciples and various other roles. Actors need to be physically strong with a great sense of spatial relationship and need to sing well.
The business of show business is business. With that in mind, I am contacting payroll paymasters, looking into insurance and getting contract information for Actor's Equity. And did I mention tickets are on sale?? They are!!! Here's the link:

A lot is going to happen quickly in the next few weeks. Stay tuned!!!
