reTHiNK update: First meeting planned, then I got them all lost

I'm not good with maps, and it appears I also have special powers in that this inability of mine can be transferred onto other people. Through the mere task of me referring to maps, others are at risk of being marooned in no-man's land.

So it was that each one of my actors and actresses proceeded to get lost due to my inability to find my way around a map.

Finally got most of my cast to meet at the end though, which is ... phew.

I really need to learn what this whole 'geography' thing is about.

Onto the meeting. It went well.

Discussed all aspects of the show and it seems like the cast are pretty damn happy with what they've read, and what they can look forward to, too.

Will be getting the acting part sorted soon. 

This was the first time I got to meet them as real people. Not just names on paper, but real, living, breathing people.

Next part: seeing how they bring their characters to life.

For a bit about the show ...

Wayward Seniors will be a comedy so obviously, need straight-laced actors who cannot make fun of themselves.

Oh man, why so serious?

On second thought, I believe it will work out.



Until next time,
