Moving right along...

Well, after lots of arguing and hair-pulling, the four directors finally decided the season of shows for the Hangar Lab Company 2009. (Sarcasm is so hard to convey in writing. The truth is I think we probably had the smoothest and most amiable selection process ever.) We will each be directing one Kiddstuff play or musical, one play with a playwright-in-residence, and one play of our own choosing. There are four rotations throughout the summer, and the trick is that each rotation we must cast all 26 (wonderful, charismatic, insane) actors in our acting company. We also take turns serving as the Lab Producer (whichever rotation we are not directing), which entails being the point person for any troubles or issues that may arise, making sure shows stay on track both in rehearsal and in production planning/design, etc. And without further ado, I present our incredible summer line-up. (Drum roll please...)
