Cast of Becky Shaw

We open in a little over a month- and things are looking great! This show is not like anything EVER seen on our stage in the 44 years of our history- it's edgy, dark, hilarious and heartbreaking all in one. Although it contains strong language- Becky Shaw is really about the bonds of family and how far we go to protect those we love. Tickets are now on sale-the show is being performed black box style, so we have only 70 tickets per night and we are only doing two performances. Please call our box office at 636 584-6693 for tickets.

It's here- it's here!!

Well, almost! ECC Theatre is proud to announce that we will offer online ticketing for all of our theater and music events. Tickets will go on sale exactly 2 months before the event opens. That means for Bye-Bye Birdie tickets will go on sale January 14 at 9 AM. Both our Spring musicals have sold out more than a month in advance for three years in a row now - online ticketing will make it much easier for you to get these hard to catch tickets. More information will be available shortly!

We're going a little crazy

I have two new assistants this year. My assistants from last year, Ellen and Holly, have both moved onto other schools. While it is sad to see them go, I welcome Lexi and Haley into our department. Lexi is an ECC student who plans on majoring in business. Haley is actually a student from Washington high school who applied to intern with me. She'll be earning high school credit while learning more about the department. Yesterday, I sent them down to costume storage. apparently, they had a little bit too much fun down there....

Urinetown!

Here's a very short entry about our current production of Urinetown, directed by John Anglin. The show runs this weekend, so it's tomorrow night at eight and Sunday at two. After that, will take two months off and then return in October with Becky Shaw! Rehearsals for Becky Shaw start this coming Wednesday. The show will be done in a black box style, which will be very different for me. I'll be sure to keep you all updated!!

Our first show is on its way!

Today is the first rea

d through for the first show of our 2012-2013 Season, BECKY SHAW. The show is incredbly different than any other show I've directed- it's fast paced, funny and edgy. It's also a little wicked- the subject matter is a little wild! I'd like to talk more about it on the blog...but that will have to wait until after our read thru. The image is from a very famous painting by Roy Lichtenstein- a painter you are all probably very familiar with. The image fits perfectly with the themes of BECKY SHAW- a damsel in distress and looking for a man to help her. The only thing is- my Becky Shaw might be looking for a man..but she's not really in distress...!

Long time no blog...

It's that time of year again. The time of year where I apologize for having neglected this blog for the past three months. I just finished directing a sold-out production of Legally Blonde the musical at the Center for creative arts in St. Louis (COCA). While I love working there, I'm definitely looking forward to coming back to ECC. Here's a sneak peek at one of the props that will be used in Urinetown, courtesy of our on theater manager Joshua Turk
