I remember the old days when a theater would hold 2-3 days of auditions, the committee would put there heads together and cast the show and then you start rehearsals. Whole process took 4-5 days. We began auditions in June. Couldn’t cast so show postponed to January. We auditioned this weekend and we STILL can’t cast the show. I’ll not be directing again.

We DID have a wonderful young man audition. Parents are Eastern European (or Western Asian?) and he’s home schooled. Had a home schooled young man at my table last month as well. This is NOT your father’s homeschooling. And that’s a GOOD thing. Speaking of schooling:

The government schools (K-12) aren’t teaching anything: Math professors: Incoming students can’t even add fractions, subtract

NOWHERE IN THE CONSTITUTION IS THERE A PROVISION FOR THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO CONTROL EDUCATION: Federal Education.

CHAOS IN THE SCHOOLS: California Students Can No Longer Be Suspended for ‘Willful Defiance’:  Could Nationwide Change Be Next? It’s closer than you might think.

TEACHERS ARE #JUSTWALKINGAWAY TOO:  We’re Making Teaching Miserable for Teachers Yes. Yes we are.
