Hi folks! Just checking in after a very busy tech week for Old Maid and the Thief. DragonDiva is now on the move... we leave tomorrow for our show at the Gabriola Island Theatre Festival. This organization reached out to us this year to invite us to participate in their festival, and we saw it as a great opportunity to do something new and exciting at DragonDiva. This festival promises to be a great deal of fun... I only wish we were able to stick around longer and see some of the other shows! It's going to be a whirilwind trip... ferry to Nanaimo tomorrow night, then overnight in a hotel. Saturday we get up bright and early to travel to Gabriola, grab some breakfast, and then head to the stage for our 12PM tech time to set up the show. Showtime is 2:30, and it should be a blast! Then, right back on the ferry to get home.
Rehearsals have been a blast. It's hard to believe how far the show has come in the last few weeks. We went from sketching things out in the basement of the New West Arts Council building, to teching a show with full sets and costumes and wigs and all that stuff that comes with tech week. The pics in this post are from our first tech rehearsal so unfortunately you can't see the ladies with their wigs, but I can tell you, they look amazing! Here's where we started:
That's Ms. Diane Speirs looking so joyful at the piano... while Grace (Kayla Matzen) flirts with the Sound Man (Henry Chen). It's no wonder Diane looks so happy, this is a fantastic cast!
And here's a few pics of where we were yesterday:
That's Miss Tood (Lisa-Dawn Kilthau) and Miss Pinkeron (Christina Lewell) singing for our "radio audience" with the rest of the employees of the radio station lounging about as they get a break.
Grace (Megan Bryden) flirts with our Radio Announcer (Joe Ritchie).
Don't miss your chance to see this fantastic, creative telling of a staple of the American opera repertoire, get your tickets today!
