Kid Victory - Happy Opening!

This weekend we celebrate Kid Victory's opening and maiden voyage. It was an amazing journey to get to this point. We survived snowstorms, spatial deprivation, colds and flus, and even power outages. Yes, yes. On opening night a neighborhood power outage in the Village at Shirlington brought the lights down in the Signature Theatre, and the show came to a halt. After a twenty-five minute “intermission”, the lights were on again and we picked up the show where we left off...and a good time was had by all.

In honor of opening, enjoy this:

Public Theater's Mobile Shakespeare Will Tour PERICLES

I'm giddy with excitement to share my latest news. Theatre enhances the experience of living and The Public Theatre's Mobile Shakespeare program goes the extra mile by bringing Shakespeare to the boroughs of NYC.

Next week we begin rehearsals for PERICLES, PRINCE OF TYRE. The story touches me in an emotional way, and I can't wait to dive into the work. I'm looking forward to being in the room with director Rob Melrose coming all the way from San Francisco's Cutting Ball Theatre. The design team is fantastic featuring scenic design by Wilson Chin; costume design by Moria Sine Clinton; composer Michael Thurber; and movement direction by, your's truly, Christopher Windom.

The cast is fantastic too featuring Raffi Barsoumian (Pericles); Christopher Kelly (Lysimachus, and others); Ben Mehl (Boult, and others); Flor De Liz Perez (Marina, and others); Amanda Quaid (Dionyza, and others); David Ryan Smith (Antiochus, and others); Tiffany Rachelle Stewart (Thaisa, and others); and J.D. Webster (Helicanus, and others.)

Following the mobile tour, PERICLES will have a sit-down run at The Public Theater in NYC from November 11 to November 30.

Les Misérables: The Highlights

While it's worth it to "highlight" the entire show, it would be silly. But in case you missed it, here are some of the awesome parts of the production:
