That’s Heather, aka Foxy Tann, running the rehearsal there. See what I mean about how cute the cast is?
The show opens December 3rd and runs through the 20th. Dinner-theatre packages are available. A Marxist disco extravaganza about the fur trade is the perfect way to celebrate the holidays. Go see it!
Admission is a paltry five bucks and milk and cookies are served at intermission.
I’m so hung up writing the darn thing that I wonder if I will get over to see it.
I saw it last night, but I am not going to go again for a while. Even though I am happy, I am so tense by the time it is done that I ache. It’s a product of having no control whatsoever. I try to communicate my intentions clearly in the score, and leave it to the performers to make as many choices as they can. Even when their choices are not ones I would’ve made, I find myself pleasantly surprised by what they decide. So, why so tense? It’s just the situation, I think.
I’m going to look around for a few more performance opportunities. I’ve been living in my head.
Three hour instrumental rehearsal for In Dreams yesterday. Wow. Michael Donley on piano, Melissa Mathews on violin and Michelle Kinney on cello. They are really good.
I have rescored for a piano trio and Nancy has re-choreographed for two dancers. I am blown away by Nancy’s choreography, and by MacKenzie, (that’s her on the left) who is a lovely dancer. Mary is our director. Thank god.
It’s only five bucks to get in the door, and they serve milk and cookies on the break. I strongly recommend calling for reservations (651) 298-9913 if you are going on Monday night, because seating is very limited in the Lowertown space. Tuesday night will be at the Foss Center on the Augsburg campus in Minneapolis.
