Gallery Hop

Last nights performances at Gallery Hop was a huge success! We performed a total of three times and handed out hundreds of flyers. And by the final performance, everyone was exhausted, but it was so much fun!

And I have to say that the African-American ladies at our final performance of "Seasons of Love" were just amazing! "Ooooh! This is my song!!!" Lol! They were so supportive!!

New castmate/Gallery Hop

Well, luckily for the us, we got two new castmates today! Not only that, but they're GUYS!!!! WOAH! The first is Taylor Euliss, and he's going into the 9th year this upcoming year! FRESHMAN! We're glad to have him in the cast! We also got a new Roger, Andrew Robon, who just graduated from RJ Reynolds.
Yesterday, all castmates went into the costume shop and we explored its massive aisles of fabricy goodness! Now everyone, even Taylor, has a costume for this evening's performance at the Gallery Hop. So thats a bonus. Which by the way, everyone should come and see the performance, we dont know when we will be performing, but we know that we'll be singing "Seasons of Love" in front of the Tree Mural.
Hope to see you all there!

Life Crisis

So the show must go on - even without Roger and a couple of other guys and the blanket lady. Dispite loosing three to four memebers of our cast, we had a productive day. We learned harmonies and angry dancing for "Rent," we learned what "La Vie Boheme" really means, and we found some amazing costume peices such as rocking shoes and skirts. Well, that's an exciting start, isn't it?
To catch you up, this is our forth day of "camp" working on RENT and it seems to be going well...maybe as long as you don't count people dropping out. We've got "Seasons of Love" pretty much down, which is good being as we have to perform it on Friday. We've done some of our blocking and we need to have that all down by Monday (we think). We learned not to loose our dignity singing to round of "Will I." Yesterday we got more into our characters by talking with some people from AIDS Care Services and PFLAG about living with AIDS, being gay, and drugs in the 1990s and now.
Overall, it's been a bit of a rollercoaster, but, as we said, the show much go on.
Peace & Love,
Cast of RENT (school edition)
