WELCOME FRANKLIN SHEPHERD JR!

Today we added our last cast member, Michael Bannigan, to the ranks! He was Aimee's son Rolf in SAVING AIMEE and is just terrific. Along with his addition also came the potty mouth pot. Anytime anyone says a swear word with him in the room, we have to add a quarter to the pot. Let's just say that we have plenty of quarters and some IOU's in the pot already for Michael's education fund.

We’ve also finished act two. Tomorrow we’ll spend all day working through the act once more before we tackle act one. It's been really beneficial rehearsing the show backwards. The emotional content is so strong and the connections of characters make more sense as we discover their journeys. The characters also become more complicated and dimensional this way.

Tomorrow the main set pieces begin loading onto the show deck. Soon we'll give you a sneak peak of the set so you can begin to see the new production we are doing.
