Summary

Rosemarie Tichler speaks with Newsday critic Linda Winer. Casting director Tichler discusses her four-decade career, during which she auditioned many of the major names in theatre. One of her favorites was Meryl Streep, who performed Queen Margaret's monologue from Henry VI, and a Terrence McNally monologue about a woman who remembers all of her lovers from high school. She describes producer Joseph Papp's vision and accomplishment with the Public Theater in New York City, for which she was casting director from 1975-1991. She speaks of the Public Theater's revolutionary philosophy of color-blind or non-traditional casting, such as casting Tracey Ullman opposite Morgan Freeman in Taming of the shrew, and Diane Venora as Hamlet. Tichler expounds on how she became a casting director, how she handled the power and responsibility of her position, and what she considers her best and worst decisions.
