“Craving Innocence” a stage play is still in the works
We are currently in the writing stages of the urban play, “Craving Innocence”. The play itself will involve some very intense dancing and will showcase local San Diego vocal talent. Like most of Wordical’s urban stage performances, the play will contain much comedy mixed with intense drama and a touch of music set with urban flair and modern performance. In the writing, we are hoping to go beyond 25 member cast so as to involve many more youth. As the skeleton writing nears it’s completion, we at Wordical will begin the casting process and will have those castmember teens begin to put their input into the production – setting us up for another “Standing Ovation Performance”. Be looking for our audition call toward the end of summer!

“Try’na Make a Change” Episode Two
Again, with no sleep, much rehearsal, and countless hours of hard work, filming is almost complete for Episode Two of “Try’na Make a Change”! A very special THANK YOU to all the extras who worked with us on the BBQ scene! You all were sooooo incredible! Since midnight Friday night and working through eggs, bacon, donuts, and BBQ ribs and potato salad – with plenty of coffee and sugar – we watched the sun rise as lighting was set and cameras were rolling! As the sun pierced through the windows – we placed up sheets and blankets to compensate for the lighting needed or not needed for our very professional film crew! The scene became humid and very trying with bloopers and a very tired crowd of people – BUT – WE DID IT! At the “WRAP” we pigged out on BBQ ribs, potato salad, cakes and pies - and as the cool of the evening creeped in, fried chicken was added to the large trays of food available for the actors and crew. WHAT A DAY IT WAS! At the end of the day, I saw many passed out with full bellies and smiles of satisfaction knowing we completed the shot we needed to! Beautiful work guys! BEAUTIFUL!

Wordical “wows” the audience at San Diego’s Winning Women Conference!
A team of Wordical actors/actresses made their mark at the annual San Diego Winning Women Conference on this past Saturday, May 8th, 2009! Using the theme of the conference, “If Only You Had Seen The Woman (I Could Have Been)”, the Wordical team created an outstanding performance infusing the atmosphere with such inspiration that the audience could feel for themselves that it was not too late for anyone to accomplish or be all that God has called them to be. As an added treat, Wordical included special R&B guest artist group, “All or Nothing”. They sang accapella filling the room with their incredible sound! Keep checking back with us and see what is happening with Wordical next! From the You Tube Series to the next theatrical production, “Craving Innocence”. Stay tuned!

Wordical Productions features the music of Marlon Dane!
The music of Pop/R&B artist Malon Dane will be featured on the You Tube series, “Try’na Make a Change”. With his music writing being influenced by a complex mixture of Boyz II Men, Brian McKnight, Brian Littrell of Backstreet Boys, JC Chasez of N’Sync, Usher and Babyface to name a few, Marlon Dane’s tracks have plenty of soul, kick, and funk to make them get stuck in anyone’s head! Written, produced and sung by Marlon, he definitely gives his songs a unique aura of sincerity and passion that can only come from within! Check him out in an upcoming episode and also at his website: http://www.marlondane.com/index.html
