Director's Notes: Blithe Spirit

10/28/2011

0 Comments

 
It was a cold rainy day in September and I was valiantly making one last attempt to find a show to produce for Halloween. I was, in all seriousness, hours from my deadline where the upcoming production would have to be cancelled. I had looked at big budget musicals, small cast ghost stories, and even considered adapting a rather famous vampire novel for the stage, but nothing was quite right. I sat staring at my bookshelf, hoping for inspiration.  On a whim I reached out and pulled down a large, rather tattered anthology I found at a library book sale several years before.  “Maybe here,” I thought. I opened the brown musty pages, began flipping through, and suddenly there it was… Blithe Spirit, a play I had heard of but never read. I knew it was funny, and about ghosts, and the cast was the right size. I had a vague suspicion I may have stumbled across the perfect play.  After a quick read through the script I knew this was it. There were ghosts, psychics, witty banter, a host of fun effects, and to top it all off, it was really funny. The perfect Halloween show. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Trying so hard to find the elusive perfect show was a challenge to say the least, and could not have paid off more wonderfully. This show is a joy to perform, a joy to watch, and I couldn’t have asked for a better cast and crew. I would especially like to thank FireMAC and the Roxy for letting us come back and every one of our sponsors for their support.

First Review of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

10/20/2011

The Suburban Times has released the first review for Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.  The review is favorable and I got a nice notice:  "As Lanyon, Olson is properly concerned; as Hyde, he is simply maniacal – but around Elizabeth, he becomes gentle, showing the unexpected compassionate side of the beast.  He does an excellent job in the role."

You can read the entire review online:  http://www.thesubtimes.com/2011/10/19/good-verses-evil-at-tacoma-little-theatre/#more-29352
