A long way from playing Little Inez in HAIRSPRAY at NCT!
In search of a good singer(s) to sing my Parody "Virus song", called "El Virus" based on The Oak Ridge Boys, Elvira. Respond back and I'll send you the Parody lyrics. I can post the lyrics here ...but you gotta sing it !! Elvira Karaoke version is on YouTube for a backup
I love watching how engaged everyone is on this page and seeing how this platform is being used to spread the word about local productions happening in the area. I have never seen the infamous Kinky Boots production, but I have heard such good things about it! Live theater heightens our senses and does well in engaging the audience into the story. A production I have seen recently, which immersed me into the plot, is a film called Empathy, Inc. The film is an indie, psychological thriller driven by emotional scenes through the use of extreme close-ups. The film is about a money-hungry man, Joel, who is looking for his next big investment. He stumbles upon an opportunity to invest in an extreme virtual reality company, which results in crazy, unexpected situations for him and his family. I thoroughly enjoyed it and recommend it to anyone looking for a new film to watch. If you’re interested in seeing it, the trailer is available to watch on YouTube!
Is there anyone in North Carolina (Charlotte area) that would like to sing for a BIG event this Saturday? There is a 5:30pm rehearsal tomorrow night and you’d have to be at the event @7am on Saturday. $200 pay. If interested email
[email protected] and tell him Brittany referred you.

"Having our Say" The play was exceptionally good and enjoyable in every respect. I wanted to buy two tickets. The individual ticket price was $80.22 but then charges were added by Ticketmaster for order processing fee ($4.29) then a service fee ($19.90) and tax of $1.45 (that was reasonable) so my total cost for just two tickets was $233.59 - so a 45.6% "mark up" on the price of the tickets. I think that is disgraceful! NC Theatre happy with that?"

Any chance there are any $25 tickets available for Mama Mia?
If so, How would you get them?
Two tickets in the Dress section--fantastic seats--one behind the other, not next to one another--these are the last two seats together for the February 14th, 7:30 P.M. show. Section B-K-7, and Section B-L-7, right up front! We had a sudden death and the funeral is on the day of the show out of town. $282 for both, $141 for one. It is for Thursday so I will entertain offers as well. See below for seat locations.
Looking for opinions/ideas. WARNING: Long read but necessary to set up the scenario for the advice I'm seeking. So I'm the Theater Teacher/Director at a new school in our county that is starting with grades 9 and 10 only. I was a late hire and was relegated to a date I could find left on the calendar after both a fall and holiday choral concert, holiday band concert and winter dance concert. Knowing I had only 2.5 months, I originally wanted to do a small 11 person show as our schools inaugural Fall Play, but had so many kids say they were planning to audition that I chose a play with a flex/much larger cast. It takes place in high school and has 10 roles in addition to 20+ teen choral roles. Then It was not until after the rights were granted and scripts ordered that the school informs me that we will only be having an activity bus two days a week. Ultimately, Ultimately I had 32 kids audition and though they all saw the rehearsal schedule ahead of time, 7 backed out before casting ever happened. (Because we're a new school new clubs are being added every week and kids who committed to the play now find they want to do Photography club or Key club etc, so they are I've had 6 kids quit because those buses drop them off a good 10 miles from their house meaning if they can't get picked up from their stop they are not gonna come. The show is suppose to be Nov. 29th & 30th. Another lead quit today basically because she didn't want to come to Saturday's all day rehearsal. At this point I've condensed 10 roles into 7 and the chorus is only 7 kids. My stage is massive and is going to swallow them whole and there is just no way to do that particular show well with so few chorus members. I feel for recruitment purposes it is so important that the quality of the first show be top notch and this won't be. So here is the question finally.......would you
1. take a loss on the 10 2 hr rehearsals you've had, apologize to the kids and, got back to the original 11 person show (which I've done before) and tell them that 3 roles will be double cast and that each of the 3 people will do 2 of the 4 performances?
2. change to a show that is more vignette based or more like a collection of short scenes allowing you to plow forward but only requiring you to work with a few actors at a time keeping everyone from having to kill themselves in rehearsals from now until Nov. 29th because you can rehearse people on separate days etc....
3. move the dates into Jan. (meaning move the musical from March to April which is not much of a big deal) and start with an entirely new show and hope you don't lose more kids to schedule conflicts
4 Plow ahead and make the best of what you've got.
