Image: A huge thank you to Eliza Davis, Cece Cullen, Arushi Raza, Reagan Brode, and Jordan Harris for assisting with running callbacks. Cast Announcement Note Thank you to everyone who auditioned for sharing your creativity, bold choices, and fearless energy. Deciding among so many “groovy” performances was no small task. The cast list ultimately reflects a dynamic mix of voices, skills, and energies that we believe will forge the fearless ensemble we need to collaborate on this wild, bloody, and demanding musical story together. Our first week of rehearsals begins soon after Labor Day. Please review the following: Schedule: Rehearsals will begin Wednesday, September 17, from 6:30 to 10:30 in room 201. Rehearsals will be Monday through Friday evening from 6:30 pm-10:30 pm and Sundays from 5 pm to 10 pm. Fall Break: No Rehearsal on Friday, October 31. There will be a regular rehearsal on Sunday, November 2. You cannot have any conflicts from Crew Watch on Nov 4th through the run of performances. Performances are November 13-14, 18-21 at 8 pm and November 16 & 23 at 2 pm. Conflicts: Double-check your listed conflicts and, when possible, try to make alternative arrangements so you can participate fully in the rehearsal process. Off-Book: All cast members are expected to be off-book by the start of our second week of rehearsals (Sunday, September 21). Scripts: Scripts may be picked up from Clay's office, room 204, starting on Tuesday, September 2nd. Rehearsal Clothes: Actors are required to wear suitable rehearsal attire that allows for unrestricted movement and ensures safety during rehearsals. To ensure safety during scenes involving staged violence, it is essential to wear closed-toe shoes and secure or remove any potentially hazardous jewelry. Eyeglasses should be firmly secured, and it is advisable to wear long sleeves and pants that cover as much skin as possible. Once actors know their specific costumes, they are encouraged to wear clothing and shoes that closely resemble the intent of their character's attire. One-on-One Meetings: Each cast member is invited to set up a one-on-one with me before rehearsals begin at cal.com/marotta. We’ll talk about your role(s), the production, and some approaches to the rehearsal process. Congratulations! I’m excited to begin this adventure with you. Let’s build a production that is bold, hilarious, and, above all… alive. Prof. Marotta Evil Dead Cast List *Please email Chelsea back within 24 hours to confirm your role.
