They are the ALTAR BOYZ!!!

Well, after a couple of weeks of auditions, and one of the most grueling call-backs in history (that Leonard Raybon is so good!) we have cast the Altar Boyz.

They are:
William Bryant as Matthew
Brian Falgoust as Mark
P.J. McKinnie as Luke
James St. Juniors as Juan
Keith Claverie as Abraham

I have never had such a tough time casting a show.  There were so many talented guys to choose from, each of whom really 'brought it' to the audition.  We could not be happier with the ensemble we decided on, and I CAN NOT wait to start rehearsals.  I'm really fortunate to have Leonard and Kelly as partners in this.  They are among the best of the best at what they do and they are going to make this show unforgettable.  

The hardest part is always not being able to use everyone.  I always feel terrible having to let people know I won't be able to cast them in a show.  This time it particularly breaks my heart. 

So get tickets now.  The show's not until April but you are not going to want to miss it.

Welcome to the blog!

Hello everyone!
Welcome to our new blog.  Every month or so we will be posting new information, updates, etc. to keep everyone up to date and in the know.  Just sign up to subscribe and you will be notified when we post something new.

Feel free to leave us comments, feedback, love notes... whatever you want!

A bit of an update - 
HISTORY BOYS was a smash.  The houses were incredible and (except for one night of weird sound issues) went off without a hitch.  We were really glad to see so many people turn out to support us and the show.  It means so much to know people believe in you and want you to succeed.  The reviews have also been terrific.  Even Al Shea liked it (even though he took a shot at GUTENBERG!, which I don't think he even saw.  Guess he reads Patrick Shannon's reviews). Your emails have been amazing and supportive, and we sincerely appreciate every one of them.

We are currently casting ALTAR BOYZ and I have to say I had no idea there were so many talented guys in this city.  Do yourselves a favor and get your tickets early.  You do not want to miss this show.  Hopefully we will have a cast in the next few days and I'll be sure to post an update.

Finally (for now) we are working on our shows for next season.  We have secured the rights to one already and we CAN NOT WAIT to tell you what it is.  If we get rights to the other shows on our list, next season will blow your mind.  We are hoping to have a party around Christmas and make the big announcement.  Fingers crossed.

Until next time...
