Initial Thoughts

To be working on Stadium Devildare at LA’s Theatre of Note is a director/dramaturg’s dream. Amazing. I’ve been struck by culture shock more than a few times since relocating to Los Angeles, but Note is a place at which I feel very much at home. This is a company truly dedicated to creating great theatre.

We have cast twelve actors in our production (cast list below) because we plan to develop this as an ensemble piece. Our four main contestants will be played as written (although Dazzler Lamar will be played as a man by a woman); the narrator will be split between two women, with one man backing them up (speaking Japanese, of course); and the remaining five actors round out our ensemble.
