Every year as part of their Musical Theatre Performance Program, Sheridan College ("Theatre Sheridan") mounts "Bold Strokes".

"Bold Strokes" is devoted to producing new Canadian musicals. They produce both works written by Canadians outside of Sheridan as well as new musicals written by Sheridan students.

I am thrilled to announce that Plane Crazy will be the new musical workshopped at Sheridan College in February 2006.

This is a super opportunity for me to see the changes I've made to the script since the New York Musical Theatre Festival, up on stage! And the students get to experience working on a new piece, which means learning to adapt to ongoing changes, as well as "creating" a character on their own.

We did the third year auditions on Monday (1pm to 9pm!) and the second year auditions today. It's so much fun to be behind the table again, and these students are so enthusiastic, so fresh and so dedicated!

The workshop will be directed by Marc Richard and the musical director is Chris Mounteer. They have already started on set design and are already painting pieces of the set! Rehearsals start in January, and the workshop will run February 16 to 25, 2006.

More info on how to get tickets soon!
