The Female Edison Cast List

At every audition, my belief in the tremendous talent of Bexley students is reaffirmed, and auditions for this play was no exception.  Many students auditioned, and the acting was simply FABULOUS!  All students who auditioned should be commended for having the guts to audition in front of their peers.

Casting this play was difficult, and we thought long and hard about every role.   Please note that even if you are not playing a named character, every cast member in the show has lines.

The first rehearsal will be on THURSDAY, AUGUST 31 from 3:45-5:30PM in the Cassingham Theater.  Pictures for the program will be taken on FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 1 at 3:45PM in the High School Library.  Students can leave right after they take their picture.

Rehearsal calendars will be emailed to both parent and student emails soon, and students will be added to The Female Edison Canvas page with more information about tickets, bios, pay to play fees, meal fees, merch and more.  Please let Rebecca Rhinehart and William Bowman know if a cast member cannot attend the first rehearsal.  A makeup picture date will be set for those who can't make the Sept 1 date.

Thank you again to everyone who auditioned.  Bexley is truly a talented place!
