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...
