Oh my goodness!!! What a busy spring! After closing A Number a month ago, we started the production process for our Rep Season which included a mammoth scheduling feat by our stage manager, Connie Silver. We're basically rehearsing, marketing and performing three full shows. The staff has been working triple time and has put up some really excellent plays.
We've also been raising money through our Help Get Us To 600 campaign and meeting with individual donors to get their input and advice on raising money more effectively.
We attended Arts Day, we participated in the NC Arts Council's grant panel, we had the immediate theatre project's production of Body Of Water, we presented a reading of the Heidi Chronicles, we hosted No Shame.
In the Flynn-McIver household we've attended weddings, funerals, end of school plays/sleepovers/parties for our kids.
To top that all off, I've started rehearsals for Man of La Mancha and A Perfect Wedding out at Flat Rock Playhouse.
But somewhere in there, we managed to pick a selection of plays for our 09-10 season. I'll get to that in a minute. But first, check out this video that our friend, Tim Carhart, shot over a couple of days while Angie and I battled it out over play titles. It's a pretty fair representation of the process that Angie and I go through while choosing a season and it's a good insight into our working relationship.
Check it out and then I'll tell you the season!
Love the video (and the Durante soundtrack). Nice to know that the negotiation process for a theater company's artistic directors is not so different from ours.
