Radio voices

Today, 4 students and I went to KPLW to record holiday announcements for local businesses. We recorded 12 different announcements with 4 different voices. We had a great time- so listen for us on KPLW. Here's a shot of Zach Zerna recording for a local small business.

THE ACTOR'S SHOWCASE

Every fall, the talented performers of the Beginning Acting class perform their scenes for the public in a showcase- and this year is no exception. This is the 6th version of The Actor's Showcase that has been shown to the public- and I am very proud of the great work this group has done. Come join us Thursday, December 6th at 7pm for a (FREE!) showing of scenes from Rounding Third, Laundry and Bourbon, Matterhorn, Pvt Wars and much more. See www.ecctheatre.com for a preview trailer featuring clips, gags and much more!!

Ushers

One of the many groups of people who work behind the scenes to keep a show running are our ushers. Ushers hand out programs, assist patrons, take tickets and a host of other duties. All of our ushers are volunteers. Some of them come from my classes that I teach, some of them come from student groups, some of the come from the community. Ushering is a great way to get involved and to see the show for free. If you're interested in ushering, please see our website at www.ecctheatre.com for more information on how to join us'

One week until opening night.

PROOF opens in exactly one week. Here's a quick shot that I took the set this morning. It's looking extraordinary. Thanks to the hard work of the theater appreciation and theater practicum classes, we are going to have a beautifully painted and constructed set for Vince Niehaus 's last show- come join us!

Happy to say...

PROOF Is going so well. Since Vince is retiring, this'll be the last show that he directs at ECC. I know that PROOF has been on his list for a very long time, it's always very gratifying to see a director get to work on a script that they have long held a special place in their heart for. We're also looking at doing some brand-new technical things during the show that we have never done on our stage before. You'll have to come to a performance to see what they are!
In other news, the first piece of furniture for BYE BYE BIRDIE has been purchased. I found this 1950s telephone chair at the antique mall on highway 100 and I thought it was perfect. I can't wait to see it on our stage and to get started. Auditions are in a little over three weeks and the show opens in a little over four months- come join us!
