What's up for next season?

Still reading and figuring, figuring and reading. I've given myself another couple of weeks to come up with the line-up for season six. It's not only about reading scripts and finding contemporary work that is right for this theatre, it's also about finding the right actors (is she available in October? he's booked until April? schedule a studio in NYC for auditions, get the audition notices posted at equity, in the trade papers) and hoping to get licenses from the publishers (always a tension-filled waiting game).

So for now, everything is in limbo (it's a place I'm familiar with - right next door to where I live) while I wait and come up with a dozen contingency scenarios.

There's probably something for season six in one of these piles . . . 

When I know what it's going to be, I'll be sure to let you know.
