Firehouse is stepping it up!

Friday was our first performance of the Wizard of Oz. I have to say, the kids really kept their cool! Obviously, it was a little rocky, but we worked through it very well. This goes especially to the Munchkins, Monkeys, Emerald Citizens, et cetera: Way to go! They are all very young, but they all did great!

Also, Improvysteria had a performance yesterday. That went extremely well, too. If you would like more information about that, you may check out the Impovysteria blog at improvysteria.blogspot.com.

Today was another performance of Wizard of Oz. It went very well. Also a bit rocky today, but we were able to work through it yet again. Keep studying those lines, and let's do even better NEXT weekend!

Both performances of Wizard of Oz were huge crowds, as well as crowd-pleasers. Improvysteria also had a decent audience, even though it was not advertised.

In general, Firehouse had a good performance weekend. Let's keep up the good work, and SPREAD THE WORD. Put posters up at your schools or workplace. Tell people you bump into that you're performing in (insert play name here). You'd be surprised at how many people might tell you they're interested in coming to a play!

I'd like to know more about Evolution Improv, as always. From what I hear, it's going to become an official improv group at Firehouse. Will we be holding regular warm-ups for it, then? What's the scoop? Ashley, I'm assuming that you're the person who can answer most questions about the group. Also, does that mean that they will also get a blogspot?

On a totally unrelated note, does anyone here remember Scott G? He played Cratchit in A Christmas Carol, if that refreshes your memory. I discovered that he has a blog on Blogger....anyone who may want to get in touch with him may be able to through that.

I look forward to seeing some of you this weekend!
