Relatively Speaking is open!

Well, it's certainly been a while since I've been here with my little blog. I feel guilty about leaving it all by itself for so long, out in the cold and rain. For those of you who have asked . . . yes, I will try to do better. I've never been very good at compartmentalizing (is that a real word?), so when I'm in rehearsal I'm pretty much obsessed with that process, to the exclusion of everything else. Having done my mea culpa, let's try to get caught up.

Private Eyes turned out to be a hugely popular and successful show. It certainly took me by surprise - I thought it would be a little too strange for an audience to really embrace. Well, once again I was wrong. The Valley News review was a rave, and lots of people told me that they thought it was our best show ever. I love being wrong like that.

Here are some photos from the production:

And now we're open with Relatively Speaking, a "classic" English farce by Alan Ayckbourn. The audiences are laughing non-stop at this one! Wonderful performances from all four actors - Jay Stratton, Amy Mathews, Mike Backman and Kay Morton. We needed some photos for the poster, for publicity, etc., so we had a brief shoot with Jay and Amy. Here are some of the ones we did not use . . . I think they're pretty funny.

That's all for now . . . more soon when the review comes out, with production photos.
