Recently I got to help about a dozen current and former students record auditions for the Kevin Spacey Foundation's Home Grown Project in the Middle East. About half a dozen received call backs and were flown to the UAE for further auditions and two, Mona and Dahlia, were successfully cast. They just closed their show last night. Kevin even skipped his win at the Golden Globes to be there. You can find out more about the project through the links following. It's exciting stuff! Big congratulations and thanks to everyone who took part at any level. The Middle East has a lot of talented young people and is ripe for a theatrical revelolution.
