King and I first rehearsal


Well, the hard decisions of casting are over and we have begun! We began tonight with the musical finale songs and what a great sound! We got to introduce ourselves to each other in an easy night that was dismissed earlier than most rehearsals will go. the last bit of double casting was also finished tonight. I can't wait until Middlebury sees this ballet! Thank you to all the moms, dads, husbands, wives who are the supporters of these cast members. In community theater it's ALWAYS about more than the efforts of those on stage! We are all grateful for everything you do! After Sunday's read through the real work/fun begins. Along with learning to hone our acting craft we will also be learning many aspects of another culture. Theater is the ULTIMATE multi-disciplinary learning experience.

The music for this show is almost all unison so it is really a showpiece for soloists and duets. We are blessed with some excellent voices from smallest child to head wife! Scripts are now in so line study can begin, too. Now on to blocking, choreography, etc., etc,. etc.!
