Two Weekends Down - and selling like mad!

Greetings! We are now officially into the third week of our run - the proverbial home stretch! The second weekend went very well (despite some minor mishaps...) and I know we are ready to deliver another weekend to our much-appreciated audiences.

As I mentioned, this past weekend was not without it's issues... We had some problems with sound - microphones, amplification, etc... These are not abnormal problems to have and most of the time they go unnoticed or are forgiven by the audience. Most notable, though, was an injury sustained by one of the cast members, Tyler who plays Snowboy, a Jet. He landed funny on his ankle after a section of the Dance at the Gym and garnered a definite sprain. You can see my video interview with him that I did during intermission that night below. In the true spirit of "the show must go on", Tyler finished that evening's show and then went to the ER to get checked out. The rest of the weekend was a little crazy requiring some re-staging of the dance numbers that he is in. But, by Saturday and certainly Sunday, he was back up on his feet and the show was running with it's original choreography.

The other videos I have put up on this post are from more of the cast talking about how it feels to get back into the swing of things after a few days away. This is always a challenge that we seem to rise to pretty easily - it just requires extra focus and attention to the task at hand.

I plan to be back at the end of the week as we bring the curtain up on the final weekend of our run. A reminder that we have added a Wednesday night performance this week to accommodate heavy ticket sales at the Box Office. If you would like to get in to see the show this week with a decent seat, that may be your best bet! Be sure to call the Box Office - 317.923.4597 - or visit www.civictheatre.org to get your tickets now!

That's all for now. Enjoy the videos!--
