Now let's see... It's been a while since we've had a blog. I blame the rehearsal schedule. As I said in the first blog, our director is a slave driver. We've been rehearsing Annie and Nutcracker at the same time and the schedule was pretty rough. However, we opened both shows and both have been received really well by audiences and Annie got great reviews.
In the time of all the rehearsals, a few of us took a tour of the town and ended up at a Cajun restaurant called Prudhomme's. It was awesome. Great Cajun food and not bad drinks.
We had some great times developing characters for each show and have a hard time not laughing at each other on stage.
Some cast members dreamed of being Annie as you can see.
Robert Kovach designed the set and it is beautiful thanks to Robert, Bill, Steve, Rebecca (paint), Dale (props) and everyone else who helped on the construction.
The lights were designed by Paul Black, he even made Jamie (Daddy Warbucks) look good on stage. David Temby did the sound design and Joe Simon runs the sound. They also made Jamie sound okay. Well... they did the best they could do (again with the jokes).
Great costumes and hair done by Beth Dunkelberger, Anthony Lascoskie, Jr. Our lovely costume mistress Brittany keeps us looking good, even Jamie.
Nykol, Anne and Bryan keep everyone in line backstage... well as best as they can. We'll have to get more into the stage management crew on the next blog........Oh Yah!
So far everything is going well with the show that Marc put up... however I'm sure he can't wait to come back and see the show to tell us to take all of our improvements out and make the show what is was when we opened.
That's it for today. I'll write more before the end of the week.
