This post is from Joshua Morgan. Joshua is a recent graduate of the UNCSA School of Drama, an excellent car pusher, and enjoys oreos!
We're finishing up our final week of rehearsals and are about to go into tech for both shows for our big opening at the Stevens Center on Thursday. I don't know how I'm remembering both these shows... I'm actually sitting in the back of the van right now coming back from our second performance of the day of "Peril on the Red Planet". Both shows went really really well even though for the second show we had to lose one of our major set pieces (the movable table) as it wouldn't fit through any of the doors at the school. It took some creative planning and some improvisatory staging in the moment. The kids really loved the show and seem to be connecting with the character of Diana. They're lucky to have such a great role model in Lauren Culpepper who plays her. There's actually been a lot of in the moment action lately. Last night on the way back from Newton-Conover, our general manager's (Rebecca Nussbaum) car broke down on the road and there were 7 ODE cast members pushing it off the highway into the nearest gas station. Fun times on the road. Alright, I'm going to go stuff my face with some more oreos : )
