Well, after eight hours of monologues (one comedic, one dramatic) from 58 actors (translating into 116 monologues, some of which were the same), we have a cast of four. Yes. Originally I had eight actors. That was cut to six, then four. It should work out fine, though. We got some great actors for the leads. The girl playing Ayla is good and I like her.

I never expected that sitting through other people auditioning for you would be so damn exhausting. It was nice to meet the other playwrights (well, three of them, two didn't come) and the other directors. I finally got to meet Nick, the guy in charge of all this. Everyone was really cool, but I'm pretty sure I was the youngest one in the room (until the actors started coming in).

It feels good, though, to have it all done.
