When I asked for participants, their first response was 'yes.' It was awesome.

It was an awesome game, we played flawless. Our bats are definitely awake now. I couldn't have asked for a better game.

We still won't have had the whole cast practice together up until three weeks before production.

Usually I order six to eight books and pick out something. Some years it's hard and other years something just jumps out. I put a little time in casting. I try to get the personality to fit an actor. Sometimes I read a play and know who belongs to a role right away. And, I've done a lot of begging in the last 20 years.

This was something people could enjoy and not have to spend a lot of money on.

We're so small, everyone has to be involved in everything. These are all volunteers. No one gets a dime and they're spending their own money on gas and babysitters as well as other donations to the play.
