Back in the theatre today, this time with actors. Everything went rather smoothly. For most of the cast, this is there first production at Civic so its taking some people some time to get adjusted to the stage. The show itself is a southern redneck comedy about a family coming together to bury their father. Sometime the play relies to heavily on exploiting stereotypes rather than creating more interesting situational humor. Nevertheless, once we get an audience in there i'm sure they'll have a good time.
I feel sorry for Rosalie who plays Delightful in the show. Her character has a total of three lines with a total of three words spoken. Her character is on stage quite a bit, but rather than talking, she's eating. We make her eat so much food on stage. Each night we have corn dogs, french fries, Oreos, gum, marshmallows, popcorn, Diet Verners, and Dilly Bars. After weeks of rehearsal, she was able to perfect a wonderful on-demand belch that must he heard to be believed. I had no idea girls were capable of making such noises.
Thursday is opening night and we close January 24. Get your tickets today!
