Patrick Hackney out as
"Marcus." In the latest shakeup to rock Santa Lorena's Tomorrow Waits For No One,
Patrick Hackney has stepped aside. "We really hate to see him go," said
Executive Producer Marcello Lanfranchi. "He was perfect for the role,
but his schedule and ours were just incompatible." Stepping into the
role is Ryan Travers, known to the Asheville region for his stellar
work for several local stage companies. Learn more about Ryan at the cast page.

Casting News: Brandon Dyer
and Beth Sweet out. "Marcus" and "Gail" recast.
Due to scheduling conflicts, Brandon Dyer and Beth Sweet have stepped down. "We lost three of our locations and had to radically alter our production schedule," said director Marcello Lanfranchi. "It breaks my heart that Brandon and Beth had to leave the show." Replacing Dyer as "Marcus Lazano" is Brian Hackney, a veteran of the Asheville stage scene. The role of "Gail Renwick" will go to another Asheville stage actor, Morgan St. Clair. More information on these two fine actors may be found on the cast page. |

generous people pledged their support through our Kickstarter campaign
which, sadly, only reached 80% of its goal. But that's a minor
setback; it won't stop us! $8,000 was squirreled away before the
campaign began, which will allow us to shoot the first 90 minutes of
the series.
To ensure that Tomorrow Waits For No One is a quality production, we've set up a PayPal account to receive contributions. If you'd like to be a part of realizing this creative vision, please back us. Here's how (it’s as easy as 1, 2, 3): 1. Log into your PayPal account 2. Select the "send money" tab, and use give@santalorena.com as the email address 3. Choose the "I'm sending money to family or friends" option. Simple! Tomorrow Waits For No One will move forward whether or not we raise additional funds, but our production values will be improved with your help. |
