I'm so excited!


Wow! I put out the casting call for the two plays and I had "Spiderella" entirely cast in less than 24 hours and have just a couple parts left in "Caterpillar's Wish." I'm really grateful that so many colleagues are interested in adding their voices to the dialog. I had a sneaky suspicion that many of my co-workers were aspiring actors. ;)

It's the night before our LATI showcase where we complete the program and display our projects. I've just finished putting the final touches on my display board and pulled together all my supplies needed for tomorrow's event. I'm really happy with the project I've chosen. I feel it's a project that will benefit not only my colleagues from all branches, but also the young patrons and families who attend the programs. And, as if that weren't enough, it's been a whole lot of fun to work on! :)

Casting Call


A casting call has been made to my coworkers to see if anyone would like to be a part of the show. Here's what they've received:

Have you dreamt of being a star? Now is your chance! Lend your voice to the upcoming, highly-anticipated traveling puppet show for Summer Reading Club 2008: Catch the Reading Bug!

Two puppet shows are in the works and we are looking for the voices behind the magic…perhaps your voice! Do you imagine yourself as the Fairy Mothmother or the Cicada Prince in the smash hit Spiderella? How about a caterpillar or snail in the sweet story of Caterpillar’s Wish? Lend your vocal cords to this sure-to-be sensational production.

Cast of Characters for Spiderella:
Narrator
First Ladybug Stepsister
Second Ladybug Stepsister
Spiderella
Fairy Mothmother
Cicada Prince

Cast of Characters for Caterpillar’s Wish:
Narrator
Caterpillar/Butterfly
Bee
Snail

We will be practicing together as a group on Thursday, December 6th and recording the following week on Thursday, December 13th. Look over the attached scripts and let Julie know if you would like to participate. First dibs on characters to anyone who responds a.s.a.p. Any questions, just ask!

--So, we'll see the response we get...hopefully, there won't be fistfights breaking out for the various parts. ;)
