I saw Allie's version of "Natural Selection" (I'm her mom) and we were thrilled at her success. Just an inside scoop on the "choice" of a female Zhao: Allie had to choose her cast at the same time 2 of her professors were casting their plays and males were much in demand for one of those. She had to bargain hard for her male cast and her 2 top choices for a male Zhao were taken by the professors. While sorely disappointed with the outcome, she was up for the challenge by using a strong female actor. We are so proud of her success as a senior actor and director and her post-graduation acting as well.Carol Beckmannnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6816366806127608207.post-2751663959291352082010-03-16T15:07:44.955-05:002010-03-16T15:07:44.955-05:00It's really cool that you saw it at the Humana...It's really cool that you saw it at the Humana Festival and can compare the original version with this production.
