Open Dream Ensemble performed Peril on the Red Planet twice yesterday at Southeastern Middle School in beautiful Stokes County. These were some of the first performances with Dia as Diana and they went well! To my knowledge there were only two moments that were a little less than smooth -- one of them when the bamboo staff of Demeter's robot (played by the lovely Kjerstin Lysne) cracked and the other when Dia had a slight slip in memory and got even more power from earth. Good going to all the cast for making the needed changes with two roles switching performers!
Today the cast had the opportunity to perform Dream Machines in at Kimmel Farm and Mineral Springs Elementary Schools in Winston-Salem through a grant from The Arts Council of Winston-Salem and Forsyth County and funding from the Winston-Salem Forsyth County Schools. Dream Machines is staying tight and Haydee in her seventh performance as Katharine Wright is playing the part with great familiarity and ease.
Tomorrow puts Open Dream on the road. The cast heads east to Hundington, Tennessee for two performances of Peril at the Dixie Carter Performing Arts Center there on Thursday.
Safe travels!
