Showing up to that first table read in San Francisco was a trip. It was in the same room as the one we used for our Sense8 table reads, only this time, across the table from me is Sorkin and Boyle and Winslet and Fassbender and Daniels and Ortiz and Rogen…I mean it just goes on and on. It was one of the most exciting moments of my life.
Newcomer Sarah Lasko and stage favorite Mark A. Harmon will star as Dorothy and Professor Marvel/The Wizard, respectively, in the new North American tour of The Wizard of Oz.
Sarah writes to Scot Reese of TDPS
.. your musical theatre class was my favorite class at UMCP, and you were so encouraging and that meant so much to me.
