Dispatches from Crackerville
Hello, I'm, Karole Foreman, the author of the Princess and the Black-Eyed Pea. A friend of mine just forwarded me this email and at first I thought he was kidding. I said we only put out a call for African American actors and certainly not musicians. This is obviously a very bad and poorly managed misunderstanding. I had called the Rep a number of times to correct a number of mistakes they had made for this casting call & since I was leaving the casting of the musicians to my composer, it never occurred to me that they would make an additional call for only black musicians?? What the #@$&^$. That would be pretty lame. It's too bad that this was (to me) an obviously gross error on the part of the Rep and not mine or my writing partner's intention. It would be absolutely ludicrous for either of us to cast an "all black orchestra". Skin color has not bearing on how well you can play an instrument. I'm only embarrassed the the Rep did not respond to this egregious misrepresentation of our intention and I personally apologize to anyone who felt slighted by that posting. Sincerely, Karole Foreman Author The Princess & The Black-Eyed Pea— July 8, 2008 10:07 p.m.
