Tonight was the first rehearsal for which we had an ORCHESTRA. And I am pleased to say that it went remarkably well. We finally started about 7.30 and got to the end of Act I shortly after 9. Remarkably, we stopped very little although there were some problems with lines but only once or twice […]

Last night was the first night we have been on the Huber stage. I have been in the audience to watch a production of School House Rock, Jr (think I’ve mentioned that before).

Today was one of those hectic, busy days that I just love. Work til 2 then immediately have to make my way to rehearsal. Fortunately, the time clock is set 5 minutes fast. Rehearsal was just as fun as I had imagined it would be. The principal cast and members of the chorus were given

Tonight’s rehearsal was extremely interesting and cut short because of our limited space. The stage was being used for final dress rehearsals for the production of Steel Magnolias going up this weekend. The community room in the building (which has been used as our practice area prior to the stage opening up) was being used

HEHE… much to a friend’s chagrin, I have entitled my first post with my new them after one of the signature numbers from the musical, Chicago. From what I gather, the producer for our community theatre’s production of the musical was fond of using the phrase whenever he could. (“This show is full of razzle

This weekend has been one of the busiest but most fun I have had in sometime. It all started Thursday night when a group of us met at the theatre to practice singing the songs we had selected for our concert on Saturday night. I did not get to practice mine because circuits got crossed

The other night before rehearsal really got started (before it was supposed to begin), I got a chance to become further acquainted with some of the people involved in the up-coming production of Meet Me in St. Louis. While the theatre and people involved may be different, one thing remains the same: the drama involved

The local community theatre has added a new weekend series of entertainment to its offerings. The first month of shows has showcased “Broadway Through the Years” and has highlighted talented singers from the area… some familiar faces from past shows and some newbies. This weekend was the first show I have been able to attend
