Will you come and see me?
Sep. 26th, 2008 12:22 pmI had my first production meeting for A Christmas Carol Tuesday night. Almost all of the technical staff from last year are back, including Matt, Carl, Michael and the costumer and makeup designer. I have a different SM, Shawna, and producer--Bob Reed, the guy who started the Theater Company. I'm gonna miss Gina a lot--she and I clicked on a number of levels, and she was terrifically proactive. Shawna is nice enough (she was the SM for "Patrick and Lisa's Wedding") but she's VERY quiet.

Anyway, back to the meeting--we talked about the new script and I went through it with them, pointing out areas I'd highlighted in the script where I thought we could do something interesting technically. The tech staff had some GREAT ideas that I won't give away but if it comes off the way we were talking, it will look amazing. I *am* keeping my thpoooky Ghost of the Future though. I talked about where I was taking the new script and Carl was extremely supportive, saying that last year's CC was "famously the best" (or something like that--I know he loved it, and told me that everyone on the staff agreed it was the best of all the CC productions at DeBaun). I was recounting this to Griffin and said "it's not necessarily because I'm so amazing, it's because I love the story so much and threw myself into it--I didn't just serve up the same ol' Christmas Carol."
Auditions are next week--Tuesday and Wednesday, with callbacks on Thursday. I can't wait!
