"The Women" is in tech week, so I don't even have much time now to put all my thoughts together.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The rehersal process went well, other then juggling all the many conflicts modern life causes. We had two cast mambers drop the show two weeks ago, but that was quickly covered - by exisitng members of the cast and a few new faces. A little stressful, but I'm pleased with how well everyone is pulling together and getting it done.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The set is coming together, as is the set dressings, the furnature and the costumes (the costumes are beautiful) We have so many tallented peole in the cast, they are amazing also. There's been some bumps, of course, but I'm confident the pieces will all come together.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tonight's rehersal was smoother then Monday &amp;amp; Tuesday in so many ways technically, but the wear of exhaustion is starting to show with the cast. We finished early - as we needed to work on set and furnature pieces - so I've got my fingers crossed the cast will get some rest and will be refreshed and ready to go tomorrow night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm running sound for this run - we have some fun sounds, although it can be a challenge to take notes for my actors, hit the sound cues and respond to questions all at the same time. Performances will be easier as both questions and notes will not be as intensive.

I saw a  number of familiar faces both onstage and off. It was a relaxing and entertaining evening.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let me start with the set and backdrops - One word. Breathtaking! Simply amazing. The best part ... the house (both inside and out.) Lighting effects were used to very nice effect - some really good work there. Also on the production side, I enjoyed the sound design - subtle but effective. Costumes were bright and colorful - the munchkins especially were quirky and unique. I liked the multiple shades of green for the citizens of the Emerald City as well.  Overall nice use of color in costuming.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the cast - I enjoyed the performance of Miss Gultch/Wicked Witch she was amazing! Also a delight were The Mayor of Muchkinland, Zeke/Lion, Aunt Em/Glinda, Prof Marvel/Wizard.&lt;br /&gt;Dorothy was adorable and sang beautifully - and Toto, of course, stole the show (you know what they say about animals and children on stage ....). There was a strong childrens ensemble whose energy was delightful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There were very few mishaps tonight, which is wonderful to see on the second night of a run. I was a little disappointed in the choreography - traditionally the Tin man does a tap dance in his first number - some of the other numbers weren't as crisp as I would have hoped. But still - a production that is sure to get even better as the run continues. Opening night was over 400, tonight looked a bit smaller but it was wonderful to see many families out to see this beautiful classic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I encourage everyone  to support this wonderful community theater group and see their delightful production of the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Wizard of Oz&lt;/span&gt;.  &lt;a href="http://www.goldenstoneproductions.org/Tickets.html"&gt;The run continues for the next two weekends: Friday &amp;amp; Saturday evenings and Sunday afternoons&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18931630-1782220836756222931?l=mhvtheater.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://mhvtheater.blogspot.com/feeds/1782220836756222931/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18931630&amp;postID=1782220836756222931" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18931630/posts/default/1782220836756222931?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18931630/posts/default/1782220836756222931?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/MidHudsonValleyTheaterBlog/~3/Gao55LZWWyA/wizard-of-oz-review.html" title="The Wizard of Oz - Review" /><author><name>Erica</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01090322115715274140</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name="OpenSocialUserId" value="05998994836608810312" /></author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://mhvtheater.blogspot.com/2009/08/wizard-of-oz-review.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;Ck8FRHYzeCp7ImA9WxJaEEo.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18931630.post-7044100451389420781</id><published>2009-07-31T15:58:00.004-04:00</published><updated>2009-07-31T16:06:55.880-04:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-07-31T16:06:55.880-04:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Events" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Auditions" /><title>My Weekend of Theater</title><content type="html">I'm very excited about all of the events this weekend - Auditions, seeing a show lots to look forward to!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://mhvtheater.blogspot.com/2009/07/auditions-women.html"&gt;Tonight, tomorrow afternoon and Sunday afternoon I'm auditioning Clair Booth Luce's "The Women"&lt;/a&gt; with 90 Miles Off Broadway I'm assistant directing again, and am looking forward to the challenges of this show and the new space we'll be working in!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tomorrow night I'll be seeing &lt;a href="http://mhvtheater.blogspot.com/2009/07/wizard-of-oz-opening-soon.html"&gt;Golden Stone Productions "Wizard of Oz"&lt;/a&gt; one of my favorite movies (and musicals).

Mary Haines, the protagonist, learns from a gossipy manicurist that her husband, Stephen, is having an affair with a shop-girl named Crystal. After the news of Stephen's affair is published in a gossip column, Mary decides to divorce him. To obtain her divorce, she travels to Reno, Nevada, where liberal divorce laws attracted many society women wishing to downplay any potential for scandal. While she is in Reno, Mary learns that Stephen has married Crystal. Two years later, Mary, now living back in New York with her children, learns that Crystal has been unfaithful to Stephen. With the help of her friends, Mary sets out to expose Crystal's infidelity in order to win Stephen back.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;This dark comedy has the interesting distinction of having a cast made up entirely of woman. The men are spoken of often throughout the play, giving the impression that they are active members of the story, but are never actually seen.Rehearsals will be on Thursday evenings &amp;amp; Saturdays daytimes starting at the end of August.  Many of these memorable roles are only featured in a scene or two, and will not require attendance at all rehearsals.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: arial; font-weight: bold;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;            Cast List&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                  Jane (20-30) - Mary's Maid, cute and quirky&lt;br /&gt;                  Miss Nancy Blake (30-40) - Severe old maid&lt;br /&gt;                  Peggy, Mrs John Day (20-30) - sweet and compassionate&lt;br /&gt;                  Sylvia, Mrs Howard Fowler (30-40) - Backstabbing, Catty, Vicious yet charming&lt;br /&gt;                  Edith, Mrs. Phelps Potter (20-30) - fertile but not maternal&lt;br /&gt;                  Mary, Mrs Steven Haines (20-30) - charming leading lady, sweet, hopeless romantic&lt;br /&gt;                  Little Mary (girl of 11) - Mary Haines daughter, feisty and outspoken, sweet at times&lt;br /&gt;                  Miss Fordyce (20-40) - Little Mary's British Nanny&lt;br /&gt;                  Mrs Morehead (40-60) - Mary Haines Mother&lt;br /&gt;                  Crystal Allen (20-30) The other woman, not afraid of going after what she wants, seductive&lt;br /&gt;                  Maggie (30-60) - Mrs Haines Cook, comedic role&lt;br /&gt;                  Miss Timmerback (30-40) Mr Haines Secratary&lt;br /&gt;                  Miss Watts (20-30) Notary&lt;br /&gt;                  Olga (20-30) Gossipy nail girl&lt;br /&gt;                  Euphie (20-30) African American salon girl&lt;br /&gt;                  Princess Tamara (20-30) Fashion model&lt;br /&gt;                  Lucy (30-50) Mary Haines Lady's Maid comedic role&lt;br /&gt;                  Countess De Lage (40-60) rich, eccentric woman with many ex husbands - she is in love with Love&lt;br /&gt;                  Miriam Adams (20-30) young, beautiful, charming and protégé of the Countess&lt;br /&gt;                  Helen (50-60) Crystal Allen's French Maid&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;                    Also needed are 8 actresses of every shape and size for various additional roles, some&lt;br /&gt;                  of which may be double cast.

We had over 400 people in the audience! It was amazing. The show went really well and the energy was awesome. I'm thrilled we had a successful run, but am a little sad that it's all over. Our cast member who was injured on Saturday did end up with a fracture, so was in the hospital for Sunday's performance - she was missed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The cast party was relaxing and a good time - a pot luck dinner and some time to wind down and say goodbye. I was given a beautiful collage of photos of the cast as did the director and musical director. I can't wait to find a place to hang it up. For your viewing pleasure - &lt;a href="http://www.ninetymilesoffbroadway.com/uploads/The_Sound_of_Music.pdf"&gt;a photo collage of the show is found here&lt;/a&gt;.

We had to hold and started 15 minutes late - we had one of our cast members fall, and she was taken away by ambulance. She was in good humor, other then being in pain, but still - not the greatest way to start a show.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I felt awful, as we had to start making plans for adjustments to the show as soon as I had made the 911 call, before she even left the building. It was rough emotionally on everyone as she is one of our rays of sunshine in the cast. Everyone was so helpful - thanks to the New Paltz Police and New Paltz Rescue for their speedy response, and to all the cast members who helped with the situation.  I've not yet heard how she is, so my thoughts are with her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The show ran really well in spite of what happened. I got chills at times watching, and many of the actors did such a great job - I saw the character instead of the actor ... they became the role, no longer someone playing a role.  I got chills at times - kudos to the whole cast for such a stellar performance.  All of my backstage work went really smoothly, set moved properly, my dresser duties (costume changes) done with lots of time to spare, my solo was the best I've done, I think - and the night ended on a high note with a "fan club" screaming my name at curtain call .... it made me smile - thank you, I needed that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today is bittersweet, the end of another show - I'll miss everyone terribly, yet I'm happy to get my free time back for a while. I'm anticipating our largest audience yet today and a stellar performance.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18931630-1285662440974360566?l=mhvtheater.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://mhvtheater.blogspot.com/feeds/1285662440974360566/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18931630&amp;postID=1285662440974360566" title="1 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18931630/posts/default/1285662440974360566?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18931630/posts/default/1285662440974360566?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/MidHudsonValleyTheaterBlog/~3/5wnhiKgizyU/sound-of-music-performance-update.html" title="Sound of Music - Performance Update" /><author><name>Erica</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01090322115715274140</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name="OpenSocialUserId" value="05998994836608810312" /></author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">1</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://mhvtheater.blogspot.com/2009/05/sound-of-music-performance-update.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;DkEERHo6eSp7ImA9WxJRFU0.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18931630.post-3841740532059335963</id><published>2009-05-16T15:49:00.004-04:00</published><updated>2009-05-16T16:10:05.411-04:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-05-16T16:10:05.411-04:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Sound of Music" /><title>Second Weekend of Performances - The Sound of Music</title><content type="html">&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xkBrrDr31Ac/SXPtOWzhZDI/AAAAAAAAANE/IBHYjUyy53M/s320/som_alps.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xkBrrDr31Ac/SXPtOWzhZDI/AAAAAAAAANE/IBHYjUyy53M/s320/som_alps.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Last night was the beginning of our second weekend of performances. It went well, but was a little off, a little nerve wracking as we had to change the choreography a little to help the actor who had the issue yesterday. It looks good, just not quite what we had wanted... but it looks nice. We also had some interesting dropped lines and some good saves. Thank you to everyone who kept things pulled together.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The audience was very responsive and enthusiastic which made the performance easier and I received numerous compliments on how much they enjoyed the show.

My parents and my Hubby came to see the show - as did a bunch of my friends. It always makes a performance especially nice when you know some people in the audience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not too many glitches Sturday - little things that we continue to correct as we go.  Some of it relates to having a transient backstage crew - makes it more difficult as they sometimes make mistakes by going too fast, instead of focusing on efficiency. I didn't have any "extra" stage time when in my backstage blacks, so that was good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Onstage the show continues to improve and grow - the audience had good energy and was very responsive to it. I think next weekend will be even better.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18931630-6098047688588489913?l=mhvtheater.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://mhvtheater.blogspot.com/feeds/6098047688588489913/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18931630&amp;postID=6098047688588489913" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18931630/posts/default/6098047688588489913?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18931630/posts/default/6098047688588489913?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/MidHudsonValleyTheaterBlog/~3/3sjcv7ldXTc/sound-of-music-second-performance.html" title="Sound of Music - Second Performance" /><author><name>Erica</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01090322115715274140</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name="OpenSocialUserId" value="05998994836608810312" /></author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://mhvtheater.blogspot.com/2009/05/sound-of-music-second-performance.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;CU8EQXw_fCp7ImA9WxJSGUU.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18931630.post-3134619876164509743</id><published>2009-05-10T15:30:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2009-05-10T15:30:00.244-04:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-05-10T15:30:00.244-04:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Auditions" /><title>7 Tips to Improve your Audition</title><content type="html">Auditions can be a challenge for an actor. I know. Believe me, I know.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's not easy being on the decision making side of the table either. Every time I participate on the production side I gain additional insight into what makes a successful audition. So I've pulled more tips on auditioning together to make it easier to audition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) &lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;Be Memorable&lt;/span&gt; (in a good way). Dress professionally, look like you take yourself seriously. This is an interview, think of it that way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) &lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;Be Prepared.&lt;/span&gt; Know what you are going to sing and practice it enough to be confident in singing it. Preferably without the words in front of you. It's better to sing well and la-la through some words, and show us you can connect with an audience, then to be hidden behind your sheet music.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) &lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;Make a Choice. &lt;/span&gt;Don't be afraid to be strong and wrong. Show some sort of character personality when you read. It might not be what the director had in mind, but it will be more memorable then a vanilla reading. This is easier if you know the show. Check your library... many times you can find scripts for shows.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) &lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;Don't Apologize mid song.&lt;/span&gt; We know your nervous. It's okay if you hit a wrong note or are slightly off tempo. It is really hard to judge your skill singing if you keep apologizing every time you take a breath. If you need a restart stop and ask to start again. Most times you'll be allowed to do so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5) &lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;If you get Advice Take it&lt;/span&gt;. If a member of the production team gives you some sort of feedback .. sing louder, drop the accent, read it meeker, whatever ... &lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;take this gem&lt;/span&gt; - they like you enough to see if you could fit the vision of the show.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6) &lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;Be Truthful.&lt;/span&gt; If you won't do the show if you can't have part X, say so. Don't waste our time, and we won't waste yours. If you won't take a part if your &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;BFF&lt;/span&gt; (or daughter, cousin, uncle, son) doesn't also get a role, that's fine too, just be upfront about it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7) &lt;strong&gt;Choose a Role you Fit.&lt;/strong&gt; This is probably the hardest thing to do yourself. Ask a friend, fellow thespian, music teacher, drama teacher for help. Audition for roles you fit and feel strongly about.  For example - I'm nearly six feet tall, for me to play a love interest onstage there either 1) needs to be a really tall guy 2) or a director who makes atypical casting choices - so generally, I look for strong supporting character type roles. Play to your strengths when auditioning, both vocally and &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;aesthetically&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18931630-3134619876164509743?l=mhvtheater.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://mhvtheater.blogspot.com/feeds/3134619876164509743/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18931630&amp;postID=3134619876164509743" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18931630/posts/default/3134619876164509743?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18931630/posts/default/3134619876164509743?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/MidHudsonValleyTheaterBlog/~3/nJBZtubxer0/7-tips-to-improve-your-audition.html" title="7 Tips to Improve your Audition" /><author><name>Erica</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01090322115715274140</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name="OpenSocialUserId" value="05998994836608810312" /></author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://mhvtheater.blogspot.com/2009/05/7-tips-to-improve-your-audition.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;CEAGQ3o4eCp7ImA9WxJSGU0.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18931630.post-2137007284049412687</id><published>2009-05-09T16:11:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2009-05-09T16:58:42.430-04:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-05-09T16:58:42.430-04:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Sound of Music" /><title>Sound of Music - Opening Night</title><content type="html">The Sound of Music opened to a large audience last night over 150 people! It went well - smoothly for the most part. There was laughs for the first time on the lines that needed them, applause at the ends of numbers and cheering. That is just the way a show should open.  Phil told me it looked amazing - I wish I could be in two places at once to see it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I got some accidental stage time when I was adjusting the couch and the lights came up, and again during curtain call, as I was first and tried to set a fast pace ... well the next in curtain call took a while, so again I ended up with additional stage time. Some friends came to see the show and loved it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here we go again in less then a half hour is call for tonight's show.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18931630-2137007284049412687?l=mhvtheater.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://mhvtheater.blogspot.com/feeds/2137007284049412687/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18931630&amp;postID=2137007284049412687" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18931630/posts/default/2137007284049412687?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18931630/posts/default/2137007284049412687?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/MidHudsonValleyTheaterBlog/~3/jp9Mqxlzv8Y/sound-of-music-opening-night.html" title="Sound of Music - Opening Night" /><author><name>Erica</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01090322115715274140</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name="OpenSocialUserId" value="05998994836608810312" /></author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://mhvtheater.blogspot.com/2009/05/sound-of-music-opening-night.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;DEMEQXs5cSp7ImA9WxJSGEw.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18931630.post-8111847261676052687</id><published>2009-05-08T17:00:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2009-05-08T17:00:00.529-04:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-05-08T17:00:00.529-04:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Sound of Music" /><title>Another Op'nin, another show ...

It's from &lt;em&gt;Kiss me Kate &lt;/em&gt;one of the many local productions I've appeared onstage in. What is interesting about this show is that I've also seen it on Broadway - there's not many shows that I can say that about. Ah, Memories ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So tonight we open &lt;strong&gt;The Sound of Music&lt;/strong&gt;. We've worked out most of the kinks. We have some new things to try tonight, to fix other little  things. I've updated my "cheat sheet"to include the places I must be .. to move set pieces, to help get people dressed. My costume is ready. Makeup case and suitcase of my things are ready by the door ... waiting.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It's exciting, exhilarating - indescribable. One of those moments you feel so alive, breathless ... in the moment. So to my cast ...

For Example:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Day 1&lt;/strong&gt;: Set Pieces and Props start getting used. Answer the questions of where the set pieces go, when they get moved and by who. Props get set in specific places and actors start getting used to location and the actual use of the set pieces and props ... doors opening, height of chairs, couches &amp;amp; benches ... and fixing any blocking issues that arise from these additions. Technically make sure sound cues, music cues, and lighting elements are getting into place. Often this is just done as a "cue to cue" meaning, only the tranitions run (generally the start and end of scenes) so that the various cues get worked out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Day 2:&lt;/strong&gt; Add in additional props or missing items from the day before. Replacements for things that aren't working the way they should or overlooked items are often added. This is generally a full run with props and set transitions. Lighting is often added in at this point.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Day 3:&lt;/strong&gt; Add in Costume changes - also known as a Dress Rehersal&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Day 4:&lt;/strong&gt; Add in Hair and Makeup in addition to everything above. Continue to work out any technical issues and transitions to make things flow as smoothly and seamlessly as possible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Then it's time to open the show.&lt;/strong&gt; On Broadway and in professional theater there is often previews - for several weeks and tech weeks instead of just one week to work everything out.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18931630-8909829824570589810?l=mhvtheater.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://mhvtheater.blogspot.com/feeds/8909829824570589810/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18931630&amp;postID=8909829824570589810" title="2 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18931630/posts/default/8909829824570589810?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18931630/posts/default/8909829824570589810?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/MidHudsonValleyTheaterBlog/~3/a8LxDqPsM6Q/tech-week-general-overview.html" title="Tech Week, General Overview" /><author><name>Erica</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01090322115715274140</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name="OpenSocialUserId" value="05998994836608810312" /></author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">2</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://mhvtheater.blogspot.com/2009/05/tech-week-general-overview.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;CEAERng_fyp7ImA9WxJSF08.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18931630.post-923164526742158220</id><published>2009-05-06T23:00:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2009-05-07T14:58:27.647-04:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-05-07T14:58:27.647-04:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Sound of Music" /><title>Sound of Music - Tech Week, day 3</title><content type="html">Tech Week, Day 3 has been completed for The Sound of Music. It's going so quickly, yet slowly at times as well. Tonight we did our first Dress Rehersal with everyone in costumes - or nearly everyone. (Mine is still being made as we speak) there were other exceptions a well. It went well with only a few mishaps.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Von Trap Children have a difficult tranition at the very end for the festival scene a couple of people were late on entrances due to dressing issues, but we'll finish ironing that out tonight. It sounds wonderful - and is flowing pretty smoothly. There's still things to fix, but the majority of items have been checked off.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm working backstage as this point, as Maria's Dresser - helping her manage her (many! and some difficult) costume changes.  I've created a checklist of what-change-in-which-wing so I know where to be and what costume to have ready. I'm also helping move set pieces so that's on my "Cheat Sheet" as well. We had a small mishap ourselves as we started a cosume change too early, and ended up having to reverse it ... so Maria could get back onstage. Her dress was inside out and she didn't have shoes on ... oops!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the parts I was able to watch are lovely. I think the end result will be spectacular.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18931630-923164526742158220?l=mhvtheater.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://mhvtheater.blogspot.com/feeds/923164526742158220/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18931630&amp;postID=923164526742158220" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18931630/posts/default/923164526742158220?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18931630/posts/default/923164526742158220?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/MidHudsonValleyTheaterBlog/~3/EJUEieh_TXE/sound-of-music-tech-week-day-3.html" title="Sound of Music - Tech Week, day 3" /><author><name>Erica</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01090322115715274140</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name="OpenSocialUserId" value="05998994836608810312" /></author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://mhvtheater.blogspot.com/2009/05/sound-of-music-tech-week-day-3.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;CUYEQXYzfyp7ImA9WxJSFks.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18931630.post-5915382736832189238</id><published>2009-05-06T22:25:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2009-05-06T22:25:00.887-04:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-05-06T22:25:00.887-04:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Sound of Music" /><title>The Sound of Music</title><content type="html">&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xkBrrDr31Ac/SXPtOWzhZDI/AAAAAAAAANE/IBHYjUyy53M/s320/som_alps.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xkBrrDr31Ac/SXPtOWzhZDI/AAAAAAAAANE/IBHYjUyy53M/s320/som_alps.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; The Sound of Music - it's a classic theater piece. Even non-theater people know and love this show. That's largely due to the movie - which is shown on TV at least twice a year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now the play and the movie are not exactly the same, and neither is completely historicly accurate - we'll go into historical inaccuracies some other time perhaps. But certain songs from the film are not in the show - and some of the songs from the play are not in the movie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Sound of Music is a musical with music by Richard Rodgers, lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II and a book by Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse. It is based on the memoir of Maria von Trapp, &lt;em&gt;The Story of the Trapp Family Singers&lt;/em&gt;. Many songs from the musical have become standards, including the title song ("The Sound of Music"), "Edelweiss", "My Favorite Things", "Climb Ev'ry Mountain" and "Do-Re-Mi".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The original Broadway production, starring Mary Martin and Theodore Bikel, opened in November 1959, and the show has enjoyed numerous productions and revivals since then. It has also been made into an Academy Award-winning 1965 film musical. The Sound of Music was the final musical written by Rodgers and Hammerstein; Hammerstein died of cancer nine months after the Broadway premiere. &lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18931630-5915382736832189238?l=mhvtheater.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://mhvtheater.blogspot.com/feeds/5915382736832189238/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18931630&amp;postID=5915382736832189238" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18931630/posts/default/5915382736832189238?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18931630/posts/default/5915382736832189238?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/MidHudsonValleyTheaterBlog/~3/dzkskpa1FGg/sound-of-music.html" title="The Sound of Music" /><author><name>Erica</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01090322115715274140</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name="OpenSocialUserId" value="05998994836608810312" /></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xkBrrDr31Ac/SXPtOWzhZDI/AAAAAAAAANE/IBHYjUyy53M/s72-c/som_alps.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://mhvtheater.blogspot.com/2009/05/sound-of-music.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;DEQAQXozcSp7ImA9WxJSFUo.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18931630.post-1060807303206018371</id><published>2009-05-05T22:19:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2009-05-05T22:19:00.489-04:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-05-05T22:19:00.489-04:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Sound of Music" /><title>Sound of Music - Tech Week, day 2</title><content type="html">&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xkBrrDr31Ac/SXPtOWzhZDI/AAAAAAAAANE/IBHYjUyy53M/s320/som_alps.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xkBrrDr31Ac/SXPtOWzhZDI/AAAAAAAAANE/IBHYjUyy53M/s320/som_alps.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Day two of tech week is here. We're concentrating on all the details that make a show flow properly. Which means we have a lot of questions ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Which side do props get set? Who needs help from a dresser? Who is going to move the flat, the couch, the patio furnature? What is that music cue? Why didn't that transition happen smoothly? How do we fix this or that?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All of which is normal tech week things. Getting used to the set and props. Figuring out the lighting. We add another layer of complexity tomorrow with everyone in costumes. We won't worry about hair and makeup until Thursday.

It does make it challenging to do a run through of the show.  I was unaware of the conflicts so I was very suprised when I walked in and Phil, the director, asks me to play the Captain and Liesl for the evening.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I remembered most of the blocking, so most of the actors were able to interact around me - although I found it rather amusing to be standing on a bench singing "I am Sixteen" with Rolf, and later singing the "Sound of Music" with first the children, then Maria.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tomorrow we should have everyone. Which means I can go back to my regularly scheduled role of Assistant Director and my small role in act two. Hopefully my costume will be done Wednesday for dress rehersal, but my mom only got the patern and materials Friday.  She finished my blouse and I tried it on before rehersal tonight. It's pretty. The dress she'll be working on tomorrow night.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18931630-7711149635313769224?l=mhvtheater.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://mhvtheater.blogspot.com/feeds/7711149635313769224/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18931630&amp;postID=7711149635313769224" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18931630/posts/default/7711149635313769224?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18931630/posts/default/7711149635313769224?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/MidHudsonValleyTheaterBlog/~3/2QAjS4IMp4M/sound-of-music-tech-week-day-1.html" title="Sound of Music - Tech Week, day 1" /><author><name>Erica</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01090322115715274140</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name="OpenSocialUserId" value="05998994836608810312" /></author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://mhvtheater.blogspot.com/2009/05/sound-of-music-tech-week-day-1.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;CEMDSHYyeCp7ImA9WxJSFU4.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18931630.post-5215077203608309561</id><published>2009-05-02T21:15:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2009-05-05T10:07:59.890-04:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-05-05T10:07:59.890-04:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Sound of Music" /><title>Sound of Music - Update</title><content type="html">Last Rehersal before tech week.

Crazy and busy in a lot of really good ways.  Work, The Sound of Music, Community Service, I'm serving on the board of one of my communities organizations ... lots of great stuff.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Sound of Music is going well, we've finished blocking Act I and we are working our way through Act II. My favorite scene so far, is 'Sixteen going on Seventeen' ... and 'Do-Re-Me' ... well 'So Long, Farewell' is adorable also.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm thrilled with how it is working - not to say we don't have bumps on the road from time to time ... but it wouldn't be theater if there wasn't some drama.  It is hard to believe that the show will open in a little more then a month. The time is passing so quickly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have rehearsal tomorrow afternoon, and I'm looking forward to that. It's a little harder going to rehearsals with a 21 month-old toddler instead of a 3 or 4 month old baby like when I did Rocky. But ... She is definitely enjoying the show, as well as spending time with the children in the cast and is being really good about it.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18931630-738736734669291505?l=mhvtheater.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://mhvtheater.blogspot.com/feeds/738736734669291505/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18931630&amp;postID=738736734669291505" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18931630/posts/default/738736734669291505?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18931630/posts/default/738736734669291505?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/MidHudsonValleyTheaterBlog/~3/ZTGJN6UKaPk/sound-of-music-rehersals-march-update.html" title="Sound of Music Rehersals March Update" /><author><name>Erica</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01090322115715274140</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name="OpenSocialUserId" value="05998994836608810312" /></author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://mhvtheater.blogspot.com/2009/04/sound-of-music-rehersals-march-update.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;D0UDSHc4fSp7ImA9WxVUEEk.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18931630.post-1049257299976021087</id><published>2009-03-12T22:37:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2009-03-14T11:41:19.935-04:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-03-14T11:41:19.935-04:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Events" /><title>A 90 Miles Off B'way Caberet!</title><content type="html">Come to The Cabaret!   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;90 Miles Off broadway presents &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Cabaret &amp;amp; Dessert Night&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(A fundraiser for the Reformed Church &amp;amp; it's Senior Choir Music Program)&lt;br /&gt;      &lt;br /&gt;Saturday, March 14th, 7:30 PM&lt;br /&gt;The New Paltz Reformed Church, Social Hall&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Come hear some of our favorite performers sing "Songs they've always wanted to sing", with sneak preview performances from 90 Miles upcoming May production, The Sound of Music &amp;amp; New Paltz High School's Footloose!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Plus...
