Thanks to Nic and Tylas for helping focus lights yesterday, and special thanks to John for staying extra long last night to help focus and cue all of the lights for Cyrano.  With that we're one step closer to opening.

Rehearsals are going very well and our sword fight is looking good!  We've got a lot to do and time is running short, but that's the way it is with theatre.  I don't think I've ever been in a production where there wasn't something going on even down to the last few minutes before curtain; however, this is the first production I've been in where I'm still more excited than I am nervous about opening night.

The show has an amazing cast, most of whom have gone above and beyond to make this production something we can all be very proud of.  If the audience enjoys the show even half as much as we've enjoyed putting it together, it's going to be a hit.

Counting down the days until the opening night of Cyrano: A Nose by any Other Name..., and for the first time in, well... ever, I'm more excited than nervous about a show.  The cast and crew are all pulling together and this is shaping up to be an amazing production.  I am so proud of the effort and commitment everyone has put into making this show a success, and we've had such a blast putting it together so far. 

If things keep going the way they have been, we're going to have one heck of a show for everyone to see!  Tickets are on sale now, posters are going up, the set is getting finished, the lights are getting fixed and focused, and it's all thanks to the wonderful students involved in this show. 

This is truly going to be a show that no one will want to miss!

Yes!  Finally an update to this site. 
Now, I know it's been forever, but "best laid plans" and all.  This whole teaching/rehearsals/tech/parenting/life thing takes a lot more time than I had thought.  So the website kind of fell by the wayside, but I'm back now and going to make an effort to update at least a little more often. 

A lot has happened since the last update.  We had a hugely successful run of "Guys and Dolls" last year, and I'll get the poster for that up on the site soon, for those of you who want to see it "for old time's sake" or whatever other reason you may want to look at it.

We had a fun run first semester this year of "'MacBeth' at the Midnight Carnival" that was full of interesting technical FX that were really challenging to create and I think I can safely say everyone involved learned a lot from that production. (I'll have that poster up soon, to0.)

Now, we're about a month into the rehearsal process for CYRANO: A Nose by any Other Name..."

Less than two weeks until school starts, and still so much to do!
Since getting my job in the beginning of July, I've already been in and out of McQueen a TON!
I've cleaned out and organized the light booth as best I can.
I've thought about changing my name Vinz Clortho, Keymaster of McQueen because of the amount of keys I have acquired in order to have access to all of the various places used for the Theatre.
I've discussed the Fall play with Mr. Carlson and the Spring musical with Ms. Burt and Mr. Baker (both of which will be revealed later).
I've taken inventory of what needs to be accomplished to get our theater ship-shape and ready for performances, and am prioritizing a list of what needs to be done when.
It's going to be a busy year and a LOT of work, but I'm sure it will also be an absolute blast!
I'm looking forward to it!
