Auditions for Putnam County Spelling Bee were held on Monday and Tuesday of this week and a terrific cast of performers was posted this morning. Rehearsals begin next Monday for the September show.
Each morning this week rehearsals have been going on for The Environmental Show summer musical drama camp. The kids have approx. 8 rehearsals and present a short musical on Friday July 22. Along with the rehearsals the kids received classes on technical theatre and special effects. Tomorrow they will rehearse for part of the morning and then work on creating set pieces for their show. These shows are always amazing to me in how much can be accomplished in such a short time. In my past experience with professional theatre in Kansas City adult performers would come in and rehearse for 2 weeks for 8-10 hours a day for 2 weeks before opening the full length show. Granted these camp shows are only about 20-25 minutes long but they have lots of choreography and music and are being performed by elementary school kids, some of them in their first show, and not seasoned performers.
Marsha Cash is working hard to get all the season ticket orders completed before the end of the week. She has been trying to contact ticket buyers who had changes in their orders and new season ticket holders over the past couple of weeks. We are almost 3 weeks ahead of where we were last season with processing orders.
This past week with the extreme heat the theatre saw temperatures and air conditioning pushed to the max. At auditions in the main theatre on the hottest days of the week even with the air conditioning on max the temperature didn't drop below 80 degrees. With the storm that came through Tuesday night we finally dropped into normal temperatures.
