Life is moving pretty quickly these days. Here's the first in a series of short posts to catch you up on some of the things we've got going on around here.
First and foremost, Cindy is in rehearsals for her next show: The Ballad of Rodrigo. Cindy is reprising her role as "Sally the Muffin Lady," a character she played in the first of this modern film-noir style play series, Doubles Crossed, which was produced in June of 2012. The Ballad of Rodrigo is the first time Cindy has ever done a sequel on stage, and she loves it. Jason Grossman, the playwright, has shifted the tone of this current play away from the full-on farcical comedy of the previous edition and towards something a little darker, without losing its heart. Cindy reports that it is working really well.
I won't read the full script; I prefer to know as little as possible about shows before I see them. But we're now in the phase of rehearsals where I employ my old stage management skills from my pre-Blue Man days to help Cindy run her lines. That makes spoiling some surprises unavoidable, but I can tell the script is good, because I can't wait to see how it ends. Besides, I don't even need to see rehearsals to know that Keiter is bringing it in a Lucille-Ball-meets-Estelle-Getty sort of way!

Opening night is May 24th, and the show goes through June 22nd.

Fun factoid:
I fell in love with theatre in 1975. Cindy fell in love with theatre in 1977. In the spirit of competition, I won.
