Some pre-show Director's notes from our Director Mr. Plant
Well it's Spring Break and while teachers are supposed to be taking a break, I am finding myself getting ready for the sprint that is also known as the month before the musical opens. This year it's Legally Blonde and it's going to be great. The students love this musical and because it is modern and they can relate to the characters very well (even if they're not all blonde!).
We have a very talented cast, a solid production team, and the orchestra is already sounding great. Here are just a few things I've been working on the past few days. What is interesting to realize is that my colleagues Ms. Giordano and Ms. Galvao are just as busy working on their parts of the production.
-Took a trip to Comox to pick up set pieces.
-Trip another trip to Maple Ridge to pick up set pieces
-Work on getting photographer for headshots
-Working on media release for publicity
-Create a schedule for tech day
-Work on revamping the set design concept after getting pieces from colleagues
-Develop a poster image for the poster
-Submit info for printing of tickets
And that's just in a day or two. I love getting ready for the show. I always forget how much work it is. Better get back to it.
C. Plant
