#2 Riedel on the upcoming season Posted: 9/6/18 at 11:05pm Sounds like a bum season. And I'm not sold as the adults playing kids in "Mockingbird." But I'm excited to see King Kong. It's going to be a big show.
#3 Riedel on the upcoming season Posted: 9/7/18 at 10:08am Oh good, Celia Keenan Bolger...playing a child....again....It drives me nuts. Most excited about Ferryman and Lifespan.

#5 Riedel on the upcoming season Posted: 9/7/18 at 11:32am In a musical comedy I can understand it but in a dramatic straight play? Unless they’re doing some sort of “memory” play thing with it.
#6 Riedel on the upcoming season Posted: 9/7/18 at 11:37am As far as I know, they are only using adults because all of the tested kids couldn't handle Sorkin's fast dialogue.
#7 Riedel on the upcoming season Posted: 9/7/18 at 11:39am The rumor is Sorkin's version sets it as a memory play, which explains the adult actors.
