So there are always unforeseen complications when putting up a show (or sometimes having surgery).  Well this producer got a sweet one last week.  One of my lead Cougars! Monique Madrid and our director Corey Rittmaster were cast on a cruise ship for Second City.  I know.  I know, "But wait Gillian, isn't Chuck already on a cruise ship?"  Heck yes.  The ocean is swallowing up my creative TEAM!
Actually, it is a highly coveted position to get a on a boat for Second City and I am super excited for Corey and Mo.  They are not scheduled to leave until the beginning of May.  So Corey will be able to stay on as the director but that does certainly complicate Mo's schedule.  So I am in the process of recasting her.  It makes me super sad.  The role was initially written for her.  Mo is Hispanic and had commented on how few roles there were for a Hispanic character.  So I wrote one.  Now trying to find someone to replace her is a bit of a challenge.  The acting community in Chicago is certainly dominated by Caucasians.  So I have my feelers out.  We'll see, sea...
