Work Work Work

You'd think that before rehearsals start, there's not a lot to do.  Wrong!  This is when we get the hard stuff out of the way.  Moving furniture into the actor house, pulling a ba-gillion things from storage, writing grants... Not that is gets much easier when the season starts, but it sure gets more fun.

One thing I am especially excited about this year is all our returning case members.  Since year one, we've had a core company who comes back every season to play lead roles.  And we've had new faces each year, completing the rest of the cast.  This year, however, is one of the first times a lot of people, who played smaller roles last summer, are coming back for more.  We definitely have some new faces to welcome, but I'm so excited to have everyone back.  Makes it feel more like a company.

I'm not suppose to post anything official yet, but I will say this: Terry and Nancy have chock-full schedules this coming winter.  I was just talking to Nancy, and between the two of them, they are doing 7 plus shows.  And many will be OSF produced.  Can't say when, where, or what!  But everyone should keep their eyes peeled for news of OSF's first winter season.

And I just finished writing the Greenshow parody.  Funny new stuff for this year's pre-show!(For those of you who don't know yet, the Greenshow performs at 7:30.  Singing, dancing, skits, sword fights, and good fun in general to set up the Shakespeare mood.  Bring a picnic to Stan Hywet, and let us entertain you!) 

Anyone have anything specific they'd like to see in this year's Greenshow?  Let's hear it!
