Talent

We had 118 people audition for Seussical- that is almost reaching the same number as we had for Beauty and the Beast, which was a record. To have the amount of talent available is such a privilege- and to winnow it down is a very tough job. I'll be spending today putting together the callback list and figuring out how to run the callback process with large amounts of people- its always a fun challenge.

Waiting...

I'm waiting for the start of Meet Me In St Louis at Pacific High School so I thought I'd write about waiting! Last night I saw Phantom of the Opera at Nerix High School, Wednesday I saw Sound of Music at Webster Groves and Monday and Tuesday I saw Les Mis at WHS.Waiting has also been what I'm doing for Seussical- waiting to start! It seems like it takes forever to get started on a show- you plan and plan and plan and then everything starts and doesn't stop even when you want it to. I'm envious of these other directors who have gotten to work on their shows already- I've seen a bunch of theatre in the past weeks and it makes me long for the start of my own rehearsal process!

This tiny camera...

Will play a crucial role in Seussical. A crucial SECRET role. We're calling it The Clover Cam.

Seuss in 3-D

One of the things we'll be using in Seussical is a bubble machine (actually 3!). We'll be using them during a song that is set underwater to give the audience a more interactive experience. That's only one thing we have planned... This show will be like nothing else you've seen!

Sharing the space...

Here at ECC we have a LOT of things going on in the theatre- band, choir, outside groups, dance recitals- our theatre is in almost constant use every day.
When there is something going on (in this case it's rehearsal for the choir concert tomorrow night)we often have to rehearse in spaces that are definetely not 'theatrical'. Today's All My Sons rehearsal is being held in the Band Hall. The things we go through to make our shows great!

All My Sons is coming up!

Our second show is rapidly approaching- All My Sons opens in two weeks!! Set at the close of WWII, this classic script is an examination of The American Dream gone wrong. Following the tragic demise of the Keller Family, All My Sons asks the question... what happens when our past sins catch up with us?

Tickets are on sale now at The ECC Theatre Box Office. Call 636 584 6693 or stop by to purchase. Performances are November 17-19 at 8pm and November 20 at 2pm.

Following All My Sons, ECC Theatre will be holding auditions for Seussical the Musical- see our webiste for more information and come join us!
