...a new Beginning.

Here we are again.....starting a new production. Not bad to have three-ish runs in one year, I think. The good thing is that the show is getting stronger and better. I think. Cleveland: You ready for this?!?!?

We had our first production meeting. Thank goodness this show is low maintenance! Raymond and the tech director Mike were both surprised when they asked if there was anything else for the set and we said no. Those were great faces. Great responses when we said we wanted to do the show in a random order every night. Yay!

Pandemonium is before the rehearsals though. For those who might not know what Pandemonium is - I am not talking about general chaos, or a kindergarten classroom after lunch. Pandemonium is only the most awesome theater benefit ever. Cleveland Public Theatre's theater is actually a campus. There are several spaces taking up almost a whole city block. Only two of the spaces are traditional theaters though. One space is an old church, another is the church's reception hall, another is a converted bookstore (where we are performing). Every inch of the campus will be taken up with stages/platforms with dancers, singers, actors, poets, musicians, etc. (I literally mean etc. You never know what you will find walking or standing around at the benefit!) What space is not being being used for performance is being used by food and alcohol. Oh, how I look forward to this night every year.

Josh and I are performing a few scenes from Kill Will there and will be conducting a couple of stage combat workshops. Come and have fun on September 11! Seriously, the tickets are only $125 and they are worth every penny.
