Huge thanks to Mina Momeni for her incredible photography showcasing some of the early members of The Editor cast and crew!

Featuring, from left to right, Eric Double (Arthur), Lauren Wood (Associate Producer), Jonathan Kline (Playwright, Executive Producer), and Coleen MacPherson (Director).

First, welcome Madison Walsh to The Editor! We had a ton of great auditions, and over 100 applications! Thanks to everyone who came out for an audition. Wow, Toronto is full of talented actresses.

We had our first read-through today, and it was amazing to see Eric become Arthur again. Coleen asked him to approach the text with a certain neutrality, which was fascinating to watch after seeing his well-rendered, detailed performance in the original performance. Even though the read was completely cold for Madison, she brought the strength, humour, and humanity to Sophie that the character needs.

So in summary: great job everyone. We all learned a lot from tonight's rehearsal, e.g. bring an umbrella to rehearsals on stormy days...

Coleen MacPherson, director of The Editor, will be featured in this year's HOTscrawl's festival at the Young Centre for the Performing Arts! Her new play, "The Selfsame Hour" debuts May 16, 2011, with a staged reading performed by Brainbox Theatre Associate Producer Natalie Kulesza!

Break a leg, Coleen and Natalie!
