The Merry Month of May

We are less then two months away from After The Quake. Two Months!

Let’s see where we stand…

We have our cast, we have our designers, some fantastic new assistants for the summer (who you’ll get to meet soon as well)… our team is good to go!

About a week ago we had our first production meeting, the first chance to get all the designers in one room with the director (Shawn LaCount, also known as the Artistic Director for Company One) This play is going to dip into the emotional basin of the audience, and bring to the front some amazing feelings. I hope you’re ready for the ride.

In other exciting news, the Elliott Norton Awards just passed (May 11th), and our own Summer Williams took home the 2009 award for Best Director of a fringe/small company (Voyeurs De Venus), CONGRATULATIONS!

For those of you who have or know (or are) teenagers looking to sharpen their/your young acting chops, or need a great program for the student that does NOT want to spend their summer in the woods using an outhouse (just saying), click on this link --> http://www.companyone.org/StageOne_summer_program.shtml <-- and you'll be happy

Become acquainted with Company One's summer program: Stage One. Four two-week sessions, morning and afternoon options, running July 20th to August 14th, you can’t go wrong.

In the meantime, keep checking back here for updates!

We (of course) have some more meetings coming up, rehearsals are starting soon, and I’ll be here to leak news, (hopefully photos!!!), and anything else I can get away with!
