The show must go on...

An action packed week for the cast and crew and here is a sample of what we accomplished. 

Huge thanks have to go to the Holiday Inn Express in Yorkton, for giving us a room to make our little promo video! 

With no real place to call home, we are rehearsing in the Grace Presbyterian Church basement. It's an older building and the space is used by other groups, so there is no chance to put the set up and actually work with it. Our only option is to take advantage of the Ebenezer Community Centre 15 km north of Yorkton on the #9 highway.

We rent one of the old classrooms to store our sets and props...among lots of other things. The gym is available to rent, so when we have the chance...and the funds...we take advantage of it. This time, however, we had to do a split rental. We only had the weekend to build, set up, rehearse, tear down and put it all back in our storage.

The cast had to deal with a half painted set that was cobbled together, no real furniture to sit/lay on, but by golly, the doors all worked. This was really the most important part of the setup, since taped door frames on the walls of the church basement just don't work the best for timing...especially in a farce.

We also had a change in our cast, with Alicia Yashcheshen having to bow out due to work commitments. Stepping into the breech...as she had done on more than a couple of occasions...is our Madam President, Pamela Milani. She now has to move out of her assistant director chair and shift to taking some of her own medicine on stage. We are confident that she will fit into the part and make it her own...as she always does.

The cast bios will be covered in the next few blog entries and with the creative cast that we have, they are bound to be entertaining.
