Thank You for Auditioning - Announcing the Cast of Misery

Greetings,

First and foremost, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to each and every one of you for auditioning for Misery at Southside Theatre Guild. Your talent, passion, and dedication made these auditions an incredible experience, and I am truly grateful that you took the time to share your gifts with us.

This was not an easy decision by any means. Every one of you fought valiantly for a role, and it was clear how much effort and heart you poured into your auditions. The level of talent on that stage made my job both a privilege and a challenge. Rest assured that nothing about this process was taken lightly, and any casting decisions should not be seen as a slight against you or anyone else. Casting is always a complex puzzle, and my goal was to ensure that each piece fell into place as I envisioned for this production.

Thankfully, I was also fortunate to have the insights of others who were present during auditions, which provided valuable perspectives and helped ensure that no detail was overlooked. I sincerely hope that you all enjoyed the audition process as much as I did, and I encourage you to return and audition for future shows. Your presence at Southside Theatre Guild enriches our community, and I look forward to seeing you again.

Now, without further ado, I am pleased to introduce the cast of Misery by Stephen King, adapted by William Goldman:

• Paul Sheldon: Jeff Allen

• Annie Wilkes: Lisa Shatterly Boyd

• Buster: Kamian McClain

Congratulations to those cast, and to everyone, thank you again for making this such a memorable and difficult decision. Your talent is appreciated, and I sincerely hope to see you at Southside Theatre Guild again soon.

Best regards,

Jared Wright
Director, Misery
