LEFTOVERS: HAL HUNDLEY

    I usually have to leave at least a couple of tidbits out of the articles I write. Here are interesting quotes without a home from Hal Hundley, who runs Redondo Music Theatre, and who directed a lot of shows in Tucson in the 1970s and ’80s; now, having returned to Tucson after several years away, he thinks some things have changed:
    “What I’m seeing, which I never saw in my earlier days, is that a lot of these little theater companies are very cliquish, very possessive of their actors, and don’t want them to go perform with other companies, which I think is ridiculous. I tell my actors, ‘Go out and do as many shows as you can.’ ...
    "This is our third show, so now I’ve had a pretty good turnout [for auditions]. The important thing to me as a director is I’d rather see just 25 good people than have to wade through 100 to get that same 25.”
