The Cast of DARKSIDE

And just like that, the cast came together. Sunday and Monday were rough, probably more so on the actors than on the casting committee, but it wasn't easy on anyone. Hours of readings, making cuts, pairing people down, moving actors around, trying to find those moments where everything just clicks. And we did.

To those who auditioned, but were not cast, I'll say it again: THANK YOU! The committee appreciated everybody's hard work and we know a lot of very talented people went home empty-handed that night. The decision was tough, on who to keep and who to let go. Now I know what a jury deliberation feels like.

In the end, seven actors remained. And they will spend the next seven or so odd weeks preparing, rehearsing, memorizing, and creating --- and I'll be there making sure to push them, inspire them, support them, and if I have to, give them a swift kick every now and then.

We're gonna have fun.

Without any futher ado, your cast:

Randy Benge as CAPCOM
Michael Parsons as Bill Griffin
Mark Schuliger as Gunner Smith
Trygve Hoff as Ed Stone
Marla Williams as Gigi Stone
JoLayne Morneau as Beth Griffin
Doug Browell as Bob Hughes, the Reporter

I'll I'm thrilled to be working with each and every one of them. I'll tell you more about them as we get into rehearsals and eventually they'll start posting their adventures as well. So keep checking back as we --- and this pun is completely intentional --- countdown to opening night.
