PRE-PRODUCTION

Bob Klingelhoefer, CATF Set Designer is continuing to work on the preliminary designs for the 2010 Festival. He has begun a conversation with Laura Kepley the director for BREADCRUMBS RE: her ideas and concept. And Bob and I are continuing to discuss and work on the preliminary ideas for INANA and LIDLESS. I am preparing auditions-sides for our New York Auditions. We will hold our New York Auditions on April 5th -April 9th. Our local AEA Auditions will be in Shepherdstown on April 12th and 13th. Pat McCorkle Casting and I have prepared the casting Breakdown for the 2010 Repertory Acting Company. The Breakdown will go out to AEA and New York agents later this week.

Our SPRING BENEFIT to help support the 2010 Festival is on Sunday March 28th. ROAST, TOAST & BOAST is a Celebration of 20 years of The Contemporary American Theater Festival. CATF actor Lee Sellars is the MC for our SPRING BENEFIT. I hope that you will join us at the Clarion Hotel for an entertaining evening.
