While Meisle is terrific, last minute cast changes are concerning. Last year at Studio, this, and now at Arena, artists fired well into a rehearsal process are not unheard of, but we seem to have a cluster that could become a commonplace. What is the effect on non-star/non-headliners? How to achieve the loose confidence and willingness to experiment so necessary to the modern rehearsal process while under an ever-present sword and threat? And can theaters that earn a reputation for doing this attract talented performers and directors who are not yet so established as to be un-fireable?
