Hello Lake Dillon supporters all across this great wide Internet of ours!
In order to keep all of you abreast of what’s going on here at the Lake Dillon Theatre Company, we have started a new blog based here on our website. We call it: FROM THE GREEN ROOM, and that’s exactly what it is. A behind the scenes look at what goes on before the curtain goes up.
Keep an eye out for guest blogs from our Summer Rep actors, staff, and technicians to get an inside look at the Lake Dillon Theatre Company.
When Chris first approached me about creating a blog for the LDTC, I was a little skeptical. I wasn’t sure what any of us would right about. I thought it might come off as a little dry or “newsletter”-y. Yes, I DID just invent a new adjective. See? You are learning things already from our blog!
BUT, I did get excited about this project because it will (hopefully) allow many people who don’t see the day-in-day-out activities and events to read a little bit more about theatre and everything that goes into making our productions. As artists, we are heavily involved with all of the aspects of our theatre. So to us, many of the crazy things we do become routine, but no one else knows these things even go on! For instance, today we had a music rehearsal for HAIR. We were rehearsing one of the big group numbers, but none of the parts had been divided out amongst the cast.
So, Jonathan Parks (our very talented music director) said, “Everyone just pick out a part they like and sing it.”
Jonathan counted us into the song. “One, two, three, four…”
Every cast member came in singing in six-part harmony and sounded AMAZING! We nearly blew the roof off of the dressing room (our impromptu music hall) in a really great blend of 17 voices. If the show sounds even half that good, I think anyone who sees the show will be impressed.
Its just amazing to me that we have such a talented group of actors and musicians that they can immediately sing a song (for the very first time together) and sound great. This summer is going to ROCK!!!
