Up and Running

We’ve revved up the engines again and Open Dream Ensemble’s ninth season is moving forward fast! It’s been a great ride so far; the cast is amazing; our director, Robby Lutfy, has established a rehearsal space of trust and “yes”; and we have a new trio of brilliantly engineered and lovingly crafted giant puppets. Ah, the puppets!

The first week of any rehearsal process is usually about getting to know each other and the work at hand. We are fortunate this year to have four veteran cast members and to be remounting a Big Shoes (albeit with some large changes in the script and casting). Watching rehearsal this afternoon, I was astonished with the great work that has already happened. Truly, the road is rising to greet us and I feel fortunate to have such wonderful artists to ride alongside!
