There are 3 more performances of Lion King Jr. I love the work of art we have created. It is truly beautiful... a visual feast! As the set designer, I needed to keep things simple. With 63 cast members, I needed as much floor space as possible. I also needed to create Pride Rock, an… Continue reading Carving out the Savannah – creating foam rocks
As you sit down to enjoy your next live theatre performance you may have no idea how much coordination and activity goes on during the performance behind the scenes: rapid costume changes, set changes, lighting and sound cues, mic adjustments, and chaos. Sometimes the "show" behind the stage is just as entertaining as the show… Continue reading Herding Cats – Backstage with a Large Cast
The best way to describe the past week with the Boyack family this week is a mad dash to opening night of Lion King, Jr. at Central High school. From finishing touches, to long rehearsals, to opening night and sell out houses, it has been a full week. First, the beginning of the week… Continue reading Another Opening, Another show

John gave me a potted plant and a nice card. I got him some recorded books, but I lost them… Continue reading Family Fun this Week

Most of the students attending Regional Thespian Competition enter acting and musical theatre pieces for the competition. Well.. I guess, technically the high scores qualify for State… Continue reading Learning Over Product
We closed our production of The Bully Plays this week. The Bully Plays are a collection of 24 small plays, 8-20 minutes long, designed to bring attention to the growing epidemic of bullying and exclusionary behavior and the all-too-often tragic results of bully behavior. The collection is funny, sad, powerful and important. These plays help… Continue reading The Bully Plays
I was given the opportunity to paint a back drop for Howard Street Middle School for their production of Singin' in the Rain. I went over to their school and picked up 8-10 flats. I primed the flats to cover the multiple layers of other paint from past shows. I drew out a basic design...… Continue reading Singin’ in the Rain Drops
I have much to be grateful for in 2017. The least of my blessings is the opportunity to blog and the people who support me in my efforts in blogging. THANK YOU for reading and sharing my musing with others. Blogging about my health and weight loss journey on Menu Mondays has helped me to… Continue reading Thanks for Reading in 2017
All of my little actors will be in the full swing of rehearsals next week. We will be diving into blocking and dance rehearsals. "Off book" is in 2 weeks. It's time to work on getting the lyrics to songs and the lines of their scenes down! Many young actors struggle with memorization. However, learning… Continue reading Off Book Tutorial
