Dress rehearsal!

Friday, November 27th, 2009

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! We’re moving into our tech week and dress rehearsals, and I have to say I am SO impressed with this cast. They have been “off book” for nearly two weeks, which has allowed their characters to emerge, and has allowed me to tweak the blocking and continue to add nuances that will make the play more “real.” This weekend we’ll be going into overtime as we add costumes, sound, lights, etc. We are so very excited with the great ticket sales for this show, and we look forward to seeing many of you there. It is turning out to be THE Best Christmas Pageant Ever and we’re having a ball! Thanks to the amazing cast and crew…..

Completed first week in Playhouse!

Monday, November 9th, 2009

Hi everyone!

I’m happy to report that the cast of TBCPE has moved into the Playhouse, and we completed our first week of rehearsals in the space. Many thanks to the Wait Until Dark crew for clearing everything out so quickly!! My cast is completely off book for Act 1 (hurray!) and this week we’re focusing on Act 2. Our set will be in place this week, along with music and lights. While I’m thrilled with everyone, the younger folks never cease to amaze me - their talent and dedication is incredible. I’m deeply in debt to everyone on and off the stage who is bringing this to life. Be sure to get your tickets now, as I hear they’re going fast!! I hope to say it’s sold out very soon!!

Congratulations to the cast, crew and everybody involved with “Wait Until Dark”. This production connected with audiences, and became our best-selling October show in the new theatre.

Diane Shaffer and her team created an experience that kept us on the edge of our seats, and we thank her for this gift to the Playhouse community.
