Thankful. Been so consumed by my happiness…and busy, both personally and professionally, that I haven’t posted any of the moments that have been bringing me such joy. Here are some highlights from fall festivals, Halloween, Thanksgiving prep, and just general snuggles and silliness.

Growing this little family with the most supportive person to ever exist, @demchick, has been even more fun than I could have imagined, and I knew it would be pretty great!

Huge thank you to Grandma @loreenblumenthal (“Teetee”) and Grandpa (“Ra”) who keep us fed and sane, on all days, especially a food centric holiday like Thanksgiving.

To my in-laws, thank you for always coming to the rescue and snuggling and dancing with my babies.

To the creatives I get to collaborate with to make meaningful content…thank you. You feed my soul.

And the list goes on. So many friends and colleagues (especially my associate, @ejhcasting) I couldn’t live without. Thank you.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Screaming it from the rooftops now that we are officially announced (this has been a top secret project I’ve been casting since 2022!)

So excited to have cast the all-new animated preschool original series “Wonder Pets: In The City“ produced by @nickelodeon and airing on @appletv

Casting this series has brought me such joy. The focus on authenticity and real kid energy you will hear in this cast is unlike any other, thanks to the brilliant team I worked with having such a strong understanding of what resonates with kids and family audiences. As a casting directors, it’s rare to work with a creative team that aligns with your own mission and vision this much.

Speaking of the creative team behind this one…well…it’s next level amazing. Emmy Award winner Jennifer Oxley, serves as executive producer alongside Steve Altiere, and Grammy and Emmy Award winner and co-executive producer Jeffrey Lesser…to name a few of my collaborators here! Oh and Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony, Pulitzer Prize-winning composers, including Bobby Lopez, Jason Robert Brown, Tom Kitt, Matthew Sklar and Larry Hochman, accompanied by the FILMharmonic Orchestra too!? Like come on!)

Don’t miss it!

Premiering Dec 13…I know what we (Mo, Dash, Jon, and I) will be watching on repeat.

Hugs to the dream team of talented performers I was able to cast on this one. And of course to our incredible Izzy (Victoria Scola-Giampapa @victoriacatherinesg), Tate (Christopher Sean Cooper Jr. @christopherseancooperjr) and Zuri (Vanessa Huszar @vanessa_nymm)-so excited for audiences everywhere to fall in love with you the way I did listening to your auditions. You bring so much heart and joy into everything you do!

Huge thank you to Michelle Levitt Savic (@mlevittsavic) and Liz Paulson (@lizpaulson) for bringing me on this team!

I had the huge honor of being a part of this documentary rom-com’s production team, where I cast the meaningful yet humorous re-enactment scenes (how stinking cute are those kids!?) Thank you @kiahamara for introducing me to the @allagesproductions team. It was a joy bringing the vision of @tedpasson to life.

Sharing on behalf of a fellow casting director (Brian Kurtas); I am consulting on this one (thrilled to be on board!)

BROOKE-Lead. 9 years old. Caucasian girl with Cerebral Palsy. Brooke is non-speaking with some physical disabilities. She can walk but prefers her chair. Her smile can truly light up a room and her frustrating day can bring everyone down. She has a subtle sense of humor and loves spending time with her family, even if physical affection isn’t her thing. It is discovered that Brooke responds well to music: the rhythms help her focus, even bringing her to her feet to dance.

Shooting in Central Pennsylvania in September 2024

To submit, please send a recent photo (does NOT need to be a professional photo) and any info about the talent (short bio, resume, or any experience from school plays to professional experience) to mwsfilmcast@gmail.com

Open to talent based anywhere in the US.

Please spread the word however you see fit and looking forward to seeing some great submissions!

As noted, we are also seeking other children with disabilities as volunteer extras who are local to Central PA!

18 months of Monroe. So many firsts in these past few months…had to highlight her love of swimming as you can see! Bubbles and dogs are certainly high on your list of favorite things as well (and other than the word “no”, those are your favorite words!)

Your empathy, love of reading and music, and overall busy nature continue to grow. We are the luckiest to have such a smart (and opinionated!), sweet, caring, and funny little girl. We love you, Miss Mo!

Excited to be a part of the inclusivity series by @focusonwomen_org, sponsored by @humankindcasting @annikaemily and @americanphotographicartists

Production with Purpose’s goal is to demystify the industry and break down barriers. It’s about stopping, asking questions, and proactively thinking about inclusion and diversity before the cameras even start rolling. Join the conversation and our collective effort to make it easier for clients to stand by their values and express them to the world.

The event is FREE! We’ll have bubbly beverages, a tasty table charcuterie and so much good conversation.

You won’t want this great opportunity to network with likeminded (ie inclusion focused!) production and creative professionals.

If you are in NYC and available on Wed 6/5, I hope to see you there!

Link to RSVP is here and on my linktree. PM or email with questions at anytime:

Thank you @thenewgroupnyc for the invite to ALL OF ME. It’s rare to see a play that simply includes disability, without inspiration porn or perpetuating stereotypes. A true love story that just happens to include two wheelchair users who use text to speech technology at its center.

The cast is really good. Of course I love seeing @maddd.hatter and @dannyjgomezofficial in starring roles, but the supporting cast is stellar (@florencia_lozano @lilymaemakemyday @morathanenough ) and star studded (helloooooo @kyrasedgwickofficial ). Congrats Judy Henderson!

I have a discount code for tickets if you like. Just message me.

Don’t miss it. #allofmetng

All of Me cover art. Written by Laura Winters, directed by Ashley Brooke Monroe with Madison Ferris and Danny J. Gomez return alongside Lily Mae Harrington, Florencia Lozano, Brian Furey Morabito, and Kyra Sedgwick. It shows the cast posed as a family on a white background with Lily, Brian, Kyra, and Florencia looking at the camera intensely in the back, while Madison and Danny are in front looking at each other lovingly.

Happy Birthday to our North Star. Monroe and I love you so much and we are both eternally thankful you are ours. You are the most generous, loving, considerate, and constant. The way you believe in me, and my very strong opinions (on everything from inclusion to how to make the best margarita) are why I am where I am today. I would have never been brave enough to take the leaps I have without you, and Monroe and I just want to celebrate you every day. We love you @demchick (and look, I even included some pictures of us from before Monroe, to prove we were fun and young once!)

For a long time, we at DPD casting have been wishing to travel back, but not too far back… We had the immense privilege of casting TINY TIME TRAVEL for @pbskids

Now that the show is officially streaming starting today, FRIDAY, MARCH 15th, 2024,
I have watched all of the episodes (some of them twice) and cannot tell you how incredible they are.

I have heard from so many of the parents this morning expressing their sincerest gratitude for the joy this project brought their kids, both on set and when watching the episodes this morning before school.
We have tagged you all in our stories; you are all the reason we love our jobs and
Elizabeth and I are beaming with pride to be associated with such a fun (and funny!) and smart series.

We hope you watch!

Thank you, @benlehmann, @timmcphone, @pbskids, for trusting us with this work! We love working with you! #tinytimetravel

Look at what my best friend did! She made the most glorious babies for me to snuggle, Eri and Clea. And she made me two at once! This means, typically, if one is sleeping, I can still cuddle with the other one. And if both are sleeping at the same time, I still have a wonderful dog to cuddle with (Babka!)
But seriously…I had the best trip to meet my new best friends, created by my best friend. Such an invigorating trip and a reminder of how wonderful best friends are and how lucky I am to have you.
Also a huge thank you to my husband for watching Mo so I could take this trip (some pics of Monroe, which is the only reason I was able to peel myself away from Eri and Clea!)

Monroe and Anita. The best of friends. Living their best lives in the Berkshires together this President’s weekend. Thanks for letting your parents, @lexinthecity1 @quantumleeps, @demchick and I tag along. Good thing we have such good friends who make such great babies. Image description in the comments.

PAID OPPORTUNITY ⁠
SEEKING: talented female actors 16+ years old who have congenital mobility disabilities and/or are wheelchair users to play a high school senior. (those who will be 16+ by July 2024 and adults can apply)⁠
⁠
⁠
ANNETTE⁠
17 years old, Female. She has a congenital mobility disability.⁠
Since the day ANNETTE was born four minutes before her twin CHARLIE, she has never given up the lead in their relationship. As college looms, ANNETTE has been struggling with her identity. She is the family overachiever and has a beautifully creative spirit, but she cannot get people to look past her congenital mobility disability. Being “the girl in the wheelchair” for seventeen years has taken its toll — and maybe, for once, she’d rather give the world the middle finger than a high-five. However, no amount of self-deprecating humor can let her escape the reality that she might not be able to go into the world alone, at least not like CHARLIE will.
