PC Basement 2020

Director Harms started prepping the basement for it's summer clean! Cleaning the basement fridge, taking angel wings off costumes for laundry, locking up all storage totes and rolling cabinets. Our AMLAD set and costumes will have to wait until we are fully back to be struck, and for now, everything will stay stuck in time. Missing our vibrant PC community right now!

AMLAD Weeks 3 and 4

Come see PC"s "A Matter of Life and Death" March 6 and 7, a story about a bomber pilot in WWII trying to fight for love. We're in weeks 3 and 4 of rehearsal, and beginning to tackle the second half of the show.

We kept warm waiting for our bus home and now we are on the way back! See you soon!

Our advanced improv class had a great time performing for the AB extended day program. We made pancakes and replayed at Bernie's. Come with us to an improv land! Thank you to Brockton's Magic Theatre for the inspiration!

We are warming up and getting ready for our performance of "The Book of Everything" at Brockton! Belly mama yayyy!

We had such a blast taking "Rosie the Riveter" on the road to Douglas Elementary today. Tomorrow we take "Rosie" to Conant and then we have two home performances Friday at 7 and Saturday at 7. Tickets and ABSAF passes available at the door. Don't miss the state award winner for Best Production!

We had a great time embracing the 1920s for the auditions for our spring play "A Midsummer Night's Dream." Check out some of dance callbacks as we took on classic moves like the Charleston!

Rosie the Riveter Machines

We're excited to explore how ensemble can build the world of the show in both "Rosie the Riveter" and "The Book of Everything." Check out how we are making the factory machines in Rosie rehearsal!

We are excited to partner with the amazing AB Cheer Team on "The Book of Everything." We learned new skills like thigh stands, shoulder sits, and teddy bears. Check out one of new stunts that will help us make Thomas's world of imagination.

On day three of rehearsal, "Rosie the Riveter" cast began work on integrating period-appropriate music into our show to raise the emotional temperature of our scenes. Sometimes the echoey space of East Commons can give some awesome acoustics.

Only three performances left of the hit musical "The Hunchback of Notre Dame"! This Friday, November 2 at 7, and Saturday, November 3 at 2 and 7. Tickets are available at ABDrama.org. You won't want to miss the musical audiences are calling "intensely moving and stunningly crafted."

Hunchback of Notre Dame

Come one, come all to PC's fall musical "The Hunchback of Notre Dame." We are the third production in all of Massachusetts to perform this musical, which is only 5 years old. Based on the Victor Hugo novel, this show is similar in style to "Les Miserables," and you will not want to miss it. Tickets on sale at ABDrama.org

Lighting and sound for "The Hunchback of Notre Dame"

Out of all the theatrical shows you have ever seen, which show has the best lighting design? Check out information about the lighting design and sound design for our show opening this weekend.

Be Our Guest!

Tickets are available for tonight's performance at the door for "Beauty and the Beast" at 7! The last performances are Saturday at 2 and 7. Be our guest before we close! More information and tickets available at ABDrama.org

After 4 days of rehearsal, we have our first sneak peek! This cast is incredible and this is a direct result of all their hard work. They were never afraid to say "one more time!" If this is after 4 days, can you imagine where we will be in 2 months?

Introducing the cast of "Beauty and the Beast!" 56 in the cast and over half of the cast is new to the PC stage. We are exploring how the villagers of our poor provincial town judge Belle on her appearance and cannot "look beyond" her fair facade.

Gus and Meghan Behind the Scenes

Gus and Meghan went behind the scenes at our first dress rehearsal. Only 3 shows left of "The Three Musketeers" this weekend! Shows April 28- May 6. Tickets available at the door and online. More information at ABDrama.org

ASMs

The assistant stage managers (ASMs) are enjoying our first day of dry tech for "Three Musketeers." Dry tech is when we write all our light and sound cues. Check out our ASMs having fun on our set! Now the carpentry is finished, up next is to finish painting the set. Come join us for as much or as little as you can to paint it Thursday from 8am-2pm.
