We are an adult community (55 and older) and are doing Second Time Around by Henry Denker in early March. We are having trouble casting the young grandchildren in the play. Does anyone have any suggestion as to where we might find a couple in their twenties to do the parts. The rehearsals are in the mornings with performances during the evenings. I have asked community residents for grandchilren living in the area for help without results. I would welcome any suggestions. ------------- Tom S. |

Tom you could try your local community theatre in your area.
Also where abouts is your mob located, as there might be members here who can help locally. ------------- Joe Western Gondawandaland turn right @ Perth. Hear the light & see the sound. Toi Toi Toi Chookas {{"chook [chicken] it is"} May you always play to a full house} |

We are located about 10 east of Mesa, AZ in an area called Gold Canyon. I plan to go to a local Community College and see what help they might offer. Thanks for your quick reply. ------------- Tom S. |

| Not familiar with the theater situation in Arizona, but most areas where I've worked (and I've lived all over the country) had some sort of community theater alliance with a weekly newsletter or at least message board. There might even be one online at the website of whatever the big regional newspaper is. They tend to be good places to post "actors wanted" ads. I'd start there. |

Rehearsals in the morning could be a problem for most folks with with day jobs. Good luck with that. ------------- BD
