Five shows were scheduled. Four and a half shows were presented. But in spite of show-threatening weather, Much Ado About Nothing was another success for NFDC. In this episode, we ramble on about anything and everything, like numbering our podcasts, deciphering vintage dress patterns, finding jazzed-up Shakespearean songs, dressing soldiers believably in department store clothing, and replacing irreplaceable actors without having an actual understudy. We round out our conversation by thanking our wonderful cast and welcoming the youngest member of our NFDC family.

North Fulton Drama Club's production of William Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing closed on May 12, 2007. Auditions for our next production will be held in July, so please visit the NFDC blog for more information.

Our first show of the 2007 season opens tonight, so it is time for another cast podcast. Like we did in October, we're bringing you the entire cast of Much Ado About Nothing. Show preparation was even more hectic than usual, so we interviewed our actors whenever and wherever we could find the time. If you hear some familiar dialogue in the background, we were probably recording in the middle of rehearsing a scene. Enjoy.
