A note from Kevin Earlywine, Director of Misery:

Thank you everyone who auditioned for our production of "Misery." We have been planning this show for many months and it was incredibly surreal to see all of the talent that walked through that door.

Nova and I were blown away by the talent in this community. Your time and dedication in preparing your auditions meant so much to us. It was also incredibly entertaining!

This is a small cast and unfortunately we can't cast everyone. Sincerely, thank you for your time. Please continue to come out to auditions at the Dakota Theatre.

We are still looking for run crew members and technical help. We will reach out to those who expressed interest.

Below is the callback list:

Tara Leonard Cook-Annie
Katie Fargo-Annie
Mindy Fischer-Annie
Jim Violette-Paul
Robbie Pieter-Paul
Joseph Richey-Paul/Buster
Garret Olson-Buster
Cole Kurcz-Buster

Respectfully,

Kevin
