"Into the Woods" Tech week

"You can only go into the woods halfway, because after that you're going out of the woods" -Mr. Robert McLane

It's here.

Tech week for "Into the Woods"

Today we had a long play practice at the Mt. Galitzin Auditorium. I enjoy that we're almost done with the show, but still there are some downs. For example, that auditorium is hotter than the sun! Second, with my dual role, I have a two second costume change. They did slow the scene down a little bit to give me extra time.

The one thing about today is at lunch break, a few others and myself walked to the nearby Burger King for lunch. But on the way I was nearly run over by Tyree Scialabba. I chased him the whole way down the road.

By the time I got to BK, I was all out of breath. Fortuately I ran into former
"Cinderella" cast member Tim Bryner there. He was good enough to give me a ride back to the auditorium.

Anyhow, about the show itself. "Into the Woods," narrated by Nick Bell, is about a baker (Brandon Madeja) and his wife (Lena Gail Dowdell) who are under a curse that prevents them from having any children. To undo the curse they must go into the woods to obtain four items: The cow from "Jack (Ryan Carroll) and the Beanstalk" the cape of Little Riding Hood (Gwen Gorski), the hair of Rapunzel (Dayna Mulig) and the shoe of Cinderella (Danielle Elliot). Ac One follows these famous stories going on in conjunction with the story of the Baker, hunting for the famous items. At the end of Act One everything is resolved, and everybody is happy. Act Two begins with everybody being happy, but suddenly all is not well in paradise. Strange things are happening. So the characters all return to the woods to find out what is going on. Unfortunately terrible things then start to happen. People are killed, but in the end the surviving characters vow to stick out any hard times ahead, together.

The show is this upcoming weekend. Don't miss it!
