Three Weeks and Counting
Pictured (l-r): The crew of Apollo 18—Bill Griffin (Michael Parsons), Gunner Smith (Mark Schuliger), and Ed Stone (Trygve Hoff).
It has already been a month since auditions and the thought of that is equally exhilarating as it is terrifying. This week marked our official start of being off-book. The cast is making wonderful strides with the script, as many of them were putting the scripts down in the second week.
But we also know how much more work there still is to make this show performance ready. The effort of the cast has been fantastic and even when we called rehearsal last night due to severe winter weather and hazzardous driving conditions, they were more disappointed than relieved for their night off. So I'm sure they won't mind the intense rehearsal planned for tonight to make up for the snow day.
We have been in the theater for a couple of weeks now after some time rehearsing at a neighbor-theater's complex. Our theater presents eight productions a year and so there is an overlap from one show's rehearsal to the next. We're not a large theater and so we seek out alternative locations during those crucial table work / blocking weeks. Many thanks to Vaud-Villities here in Columbus for graciously allowing us to use their facilities. Working on a stage from day one was invaluable. And once we moved onto our own boards, things have really started coming together.
This past Monday we took publicity shots. Posted above is the first of many that we'll be displaying both here and on the Curtain Players website. The set is also coming along, as are the costumes. Pictures of the set will be posted after we've opened. Hopefully you'll be able to come to Curtain Players and see it for yourselves during a performance.
Just a few more weeks. Since we're heading into the home stretch, the updates here should increase. So check back for more photos, stories, and updates from the cast and crew of "Darkside".
