Part 2 of the Zoom Script Reading of THE CHOICE

This reading was a little more complex than the last one. 

First off, the role of the twins was played by one person. Courtney Lynch held up two objects, one black and one white, to represent each twin and when they spoke in unison, she held both objects in the air to show that they were talking at the same time.

Also, Zay Jeter who was in a terrible car accident last time and could not participate in the last reading, took on his original roles of "Darius" and "Mirror Image of Darius" by wearing a hoodie for one version and removing it for the other.

Maurice Vaughan of Stage 32 agreed to join us again to observe the reading. Please check previous post to see the names and characters read by the other actors/readers.

Thanks and enjoy!!!

Update On The Choice Script and Reading

 In my zeal for promoting The Choice I forgot to explain what the script/story was about. 

The story is a farce about Heaven and Hell. The main character is caught between a wager between the two forces and must make a decision on whether to be a “glorious lamb” in Heaven or a high ranking denizen of Hell. He’s persuaded by both sides to make a “choice”.

Anyway, the reading will be broken up into two recorded sessions (on the 15th and 22nd of October)! So far, we have got a few heavy hitters to sit in on the reading so it should be interesting!

If you’re interested in seeing and reading the script before or after the reading; the script is on Coverfly.com and open to all members to see.

Be careful because October may be full of surprises!
