At The Old Red Lion!
This isn’t how I’m feeling at the moment- it’s a production photo of the character Alex, from Suicide Brunette, by award-winning playwright, Gary Mitchell. We’ve opened Suicide Brunette, by Gary Mitchell and The Native, by Christopher Hanvey at The Old Red Lion and the run continues until Oct. 30th. Please join us if you’re in the UK- they’re exceptional pieces-
So, it’s been an amazing month- and a wee bit busy!
Anything Goes finished fantastically well. Audiences enjoyed out production, I was delighted with how the cast did and we raised almost $2000.00 for the Red Cross as part of our pre-show improvisations.
I had to leave before the end of the run and the cast treated me to song, with special lyrics written by our Musical Director, David Hall, followed by a group hug (by 43 people!). I was a bit teary and very proud- and then dashed out the door to get on a plane to the UK.
Arriving on the Monday morning- I had the day to get into gear and meet the designer for the plays that we began rehearsing on Tues. Sept 27th. Gary Mitchell flew over from Northern Ireland- and we dove into both pieces.
Here’s a photo of Christopher Hanvey playing Marshall, the young man pressured into killing a young, pregnant Sioux woman- with an unexpected outcome…
I’ve lots more to write about, but just wanted to get blogging after a busy few weeks… more very soon!
