We are sad to report that Mallory Bechtel will not be able to take part in our latest film. She has been cast in a pre-Broadway production taking place this summer with plans to transfer to Broadway in 2014. While we wish we could have made the schedules work, we are thrilled for her new opportunity. Follow updates on Mallory”s Facebook page or website at www.Mallorybechtel.com. Good Luck Mallory! We wish you so much success!
