Daryl Eisenberg Casting or DECasting as Twitter followers now know the company, is a theatre and film focused casting company.
It was brought to BroadwayWorld.com's attention yesterday via a shocking amount of emails to our "Twitter Watch" inbox, that one of the more than 200 Broadway-related Tweeters that we were picking up the feed of, was a casting director (see above), who was 'tweeting' during auditions with her take on some of the performers (mentioning none by name) with live comments, both good and bad, after they'd auditioned.
EVERYONE is talking about this story and Eisenberg herself spoke with BroadwayWorld.com this morning in an interview available by clicking here. Noted casting professional Paul Russell gave his view on the controversy via his blog which you can read by going here. Backstage.com has weighed in as well here.
We checked in yesterday with an Equity Spokesperson on the subject, and today they released the news that "Billy Butler, Producer and composer of GAY BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN, has scheduled a second EPA for the NYMF production." This is the show that was the subject of much consternation among Equity members. BroadwayWorld.com has learned that Daryl Eisenberg Casting will conduct the AEA requested second EPA.
The subject remains a hot topic on BroadwayWorld.com's message boards as well.
Just a few moments ago, Twitter Watch was alerted by multiple sources to a number of past "tweets", messages from Eisenberg's Twitter feed that would appear to continue the debate and stoke the flames of Twittergate.
He. Is. So. Cute.
