Yesterday was Day One and today Day Two of auditions for “Sweeney Todd” at the Bellevue Society for the Arts. Though the competition is fierce and impressive, I think I at least have a look at the lead– if not, perhaps a secondary character, and certainly a chorus role. Regardless of my personal outcome, let it be said right now: there will be some stunning talent on display in this show. Tickets go on sale July 10th.
A recent re-syndication, followed by an appearance on the fledgling Sofanauts podcast, have served as my introduction to Jeremiah Tolbert, who has invited me to read a story for Escape Pod. I’ll be taking a run at a clever tale by Samantha Henderson, and it should hit the EP feed some time this summer.
Speaking of podcasts and Mr. Tolbert, keep an ear on Starship Sofa for my reading of his far-future story “The Culture Archivist“. If I understand correctly, the story should air next week.

Good luck, Ray. Given the darkness of my predilections SWEENEY TODD is my favorite musical. It was the last show I saw on Broadway before heading Midwestward in 1979 and about a month after the show opened. It still had Len Cariou and Angela Lansbury and just blew me away.
Looking forward to our upcoming project for the StarShip.
All the best,
Larry (who really doesn’t have much of an idea about all this technical gimcrackery)
