It seems to me that Judie’s answers reflect that a heck of a lot of work goes into a local play production, and we’re not even talking about a multi-million dollar studio operation here. From what I understand, the cast and crew are donat- ing their time to make the plays happen — which is a huge contrast between the likes of, say, Sony, who just released “The Interview.” But based on the poor re- view of “The Interview” that a trusted friend sent in a few weeks ago, I’m inclined to say that more quality work is probably going into our local theater production than into some national movie releas- es. And I’ll support quality work over world-wide hype any day. Monday - Friday: The Dalles • Hood River Call 541-386-4202 women’s rights is- sues/human rights such as “Death and the Maiden,” “The Vagina Monologues,” “Welcome Home Jenny Sut- ter,” “If We Are Women” and “The Good Body.” What exactly are the things a director does for a play? What does a director add that’s not already in the script? The director has responsi- bility for the overall practi- cal, managerial, and creative interpretation of the script and helping/collaborating with actors to achieve char- acterization clearly. She/he advises, inspires and encour- ages. A director works closely with the creative team that includes a stage manager, costume, lighting, sound, set design/building and house manager. As a director, I’m con- cerned with the “given cir- cumstances” — the neces- sary elements or environ- ment of the play. This in- cludes regional accents, de- sign oversight and imple- mentation and staging the play – where do the actors go on stage; their movement while on stage. In the managerial role – it’s casting, rehearsals, tech- nical rehearsals, dress re- hearsals, opening night and also taking into account the budgetary and physical con- straints of your production. The director is involved at all stages of the process. Since Good People is based in Boston, are you looking for people who can do the particular re- gional speaking accent? If so, how should one pre- pare to do that? The short answer is “Yes.” “Good People” takes place in Interview with Judie Hanel How many plays have you directed and which one has been your favorite so far and why? I have directed more than 45 shows in Hood River and many shows in Canada. Anything Arthur Miller tops my list. One of my fa- vorite shows directed at CAST was Arthur Miller’s “All My Sons,” because Arthur Miller dedicated himself to examining the moral plight of the Ameri- can working class. I’ve also directed “Death of a Salesman,” “The Crucible and Clara.” I’m also passion- ate about shows that look at Portland, too! Audition notice Judie Hanel South Boston (so the charac- ters are “Southies”) and the cast will be asked to learn that accent. I will have a di- alect coach to help them. Also, ages may play up, or down, depending on audi- tioning actors’ ranges. How many people typi- cally show up at an audi- tion and what overall qualities are you looking for to fill these roles? It wholly depends on the show. Sometimes it’s name of the play recognition or the ages of each cast member that can bring more or less people, or even a particular subject matter. When I directed “The Vagina Monologues,” I had over 30 women show up for auditions. I don’t precast a show. In- stead, I wait for auditions to see what each person can bring to that role on that par- ticular day. I think you need to own the role on that day you audi- tion, because if you don’t, someone else will. But I think you need to do your work beforehand if you’re going to audition. I suggest anyone that audi- tions take some time to re- search the show and learn about each character and how they interface with each Auditions for “Good Peo- ple,” David Lindsay-Abaire’s tough and tender new play about the insurmountable divide between those who make it and those who don’t, are scheduled for Sunday, Jan. 18, from 1-3 p.m. and Monday, Jan. 19, from 6-8 p.m. at the Columbia Center for the Arts, 215 Cascade Ave. in Hood River.
