21 brave actors, 2 faculty designers and an on the spot crew gathered yesterday for our first rehearsal of Ibsen's PEER GYNT. The journey towards our April opening begins...it promises to be epic in every way. Step one...
What a wonderful third weekend we had - wonderful audiences braved the threat of snow, the cast hunkered down with Thai food delivery and laughs, determined to give a good experience to all who could make it.
This final weekend promises to be more raucous - the students are back (in fact, I start teaching tomorrow - three courses this term, and so many new students to meet!) and all who have been holding off or were put off by the snow and the allure of yummy, salty crock pot stews (don't blame them) will have their last chance to pour their energy into this dark gem of a production. I'm very proud of it, and of how the cast and crew have become a little family over this past month. I will miss them. But first: our five final shows.
