THIRD WEEK IN......

River City Players have just finished up the third week of rehearsals for "Faith County" the first show of this 2011 season. As the props and stage person for this show I took the evening to talk with the cast and crew of this upcoming show. In a production like this props and costuming and hair styles are important to the understanding of the play.

After talking with each cast member it was clear to me that they knew exactly what they needed to be looking for and what kind of style was needed to get their character across to the audience. It is always so exciting to see a show start to come together. There is still almost six weeks of rehearsing, memorizing, blocking, props to be taken care of and did I mention a set to be built. You think that sounds like a long time, well it will fly by and before you know it the opening night is here. The show opens the first weekend in May and there will be a matinee on Mother's Day. You know it is not to early to put these dates on your calendar: May 6,7,8,12,13,and 14. The Friday and Saturday shows are Dinner Shows with the Sunday show a dessert matinee. There is also a chance on the 12th to see the show only. All RCP performances are at Port Cape in the Yacht Club. Dinner shows are $30, Dessert matinee is $20 with the show only $15. Pick a date, put it on your calendar, ask your friends and family to come and about two weeks before opening night call Port Cape at 573-334-0954 to make your reservations! WARNING: This show may result in strained side muscles from the many, many laughs that you will experience....
