Nickleby Cast List & Read-Through

Cast list posted outside PlayMakers Rehearsal Hall (scroll down for readable version)

PlayMakers company members attended a two-day casting read-through in April. 

Several actors were still performing PRC's production of Pride and Prejudice, explaining the sideburns. Jeffrey Blair Cornell attended the read-through all day and became Mr. Bennet on the Paul Green stage at night. 

Vocal Coach Bonnie Raphael (in green) started each day of the read-through with a series of warm-ups.
