March 1, 2008: SMP, SETC, Synchronicity
Because she conceived, co-wrote, and will direct SMP's "Southern Fried Shakespeare Co." this summer, Kara is assisting the casting of Stone Mountain Park's 2008 Spring/Summer season. She sat in on music/dance auditions and led improvisation auditions for the park's main auditions Feb. 13-15. She will attend the Southeastern Theatre Conference (SETC) next week in Chattanooga, TN, with SMP Associate Producer Michael Vaughn to help recruit additional performing and technical talent for the Park. Kara has also been "cast" as a company trainer for SMP. She will teach orientation classes for incoming employees. In just three weeks, rehearsals begin for The Van Gogh Café with Synchronicity.
