Making your Stage Manager Cry
I have such a fab stage manager. Kim Eastman is doing a great job writing down all the blocking, line changes, standing in for actors who are not available on particular rehearsal days...she does it all. And with aplomb! But we did make her cry yesterday. Why? Well...we blocked and ...
Shaping the Story
"Who Will Remember William Weston," is a new play by local playwright, Brady Dundas. That makes it really challenging and fun to bring to life. Getting the opportunity to shape a new story is a creative jolt. The script is strong, but as with all scripts, there is room for ...
Beats! Mapping a character's thought processes
You know how you have moments in a conversation where you have to stop and think? Or someone says something or does something that completely takes you off guard and your thought process shifts? These are what are referred to as "beats" in the acting and directing process. It's important ...
Apology
So, my last post had to do with what an up-and-down ride casting a play can be. I really want everyone to know that community theatre actors are a good bunch and no one likes having to turn down an offered role. The folks who did that on this play ...
All aboard the casting roller coaster!
Of the five shows I’ve directed, and now the sixth that’s in process, only one has retained the original group of actors cast from the auditions. Casting a community theatre show is a lot like riding a roller coaster. The ups and downs of finding and keeping actors make for ...
Auditions--time to get onstage and give it what ya got!
So audtions are coming up on March 7 and 8 for "Who Will Remember William Weston." I really look forward to auditions as a director. You never know who will walk in the door. I particularly love working with new actors, people who are giving it a shot for the ...
Off and Running Again
Another adventure in directing is in the works. Back in December, I was approached by Brady Dundas to possibly direct his original full-length play, “Who Will Remember William Weston.” It is a comedy-drama. The script is still in draft form but is close to completion. It has been very fun ...
What a grand adventure!
Well, the final task of returning costumes to their appropriate places at three theaters (Mission Creek, Music Theatre of Wenatchee, and Wenatchee High School) is done. Being able to take care of these tasks helps with the closure that a director needs after a show. Carefully putting the costumes away...touching ...
Missing the Cast and Crew
I've said it before and I'll say it again: theatre is like a family. You start out strangers (unless you've worked with these folks before, but at some point you were strangers) and as you make your way through the artistic journey to bring a show to life, you become ...
Tear Down
Many hands make light work when taking down a set.
Closing Night
The curtain falls on "Sherlock Holmes" ...catch a picture of the cast and crew!
Final Weekend for The Final Adventure
"Sherlock Holmes: The Final Adventure" has two more performances this weekend before the doors close at 221B Baker Street.
Letting go of the reins
When does the job of director end?
