The senior Youth Theatre members are currently hard at work on their production of ‘Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead’ by Tom Stoppard (directed by Robert Ball). First night is the 24th March – see main site for details.
After the critical and commercial success of ‘View From The Bridge’ it is the turn of ‘Hamlet’ (Main House) and ‘The Indian Boy’ (Ron Barber Studio) next up for the Crescent Theatre shows. I got in to see the first run through for the beguiling ‘Indian Boy’ by Rona Munro the other night. Click on the picture for more rehearsal images.
One of the great things about recording rehearsals at the theatre is that I get a bit of a sneak preview of a work in progress and from yesterdays evidence Hamlet is definitely going to be worth the anticipation. What was also great to see was how the whole cast were really enjoying exploring the text and working with each other – there was a really good company feel in the rehearsal room. Really looking forward to opening night.
I’m delighted to say that the excellent Crescent production of Arthur Miller’s classic ‘View From The Bridge’ opens tonight. Please check with box office though before setting off to the theatre if you wish to see it as it’s almost completely sold out.
Poop poop! ‘Wind In The Willows’ opens tonight!
It was a long day yesterday for the company and crew of ‘Wind In The Willows’ – one of the theatre’s most ambitious productions recently. Technical rehearsals are always a slow affair and the young cast coped brilliantly. It was all hands on deck to help out – including mine – so only got the snap below of the youngsters eager to start on Sunday morning. Dress rehearsals are tonight and Wednesday and the show ‘opens’ on Thursday.
Much fun was had at Birmingham’s annual Panto Horse Race and Scott did us proud as the Crescent entrant.
