In the Club

This post is from the ever industrious Cameron MacManus pictured here as Alexander.

I’m very excited to be back for my second year with the Open Dream Ensemble. The learning tempo has been very high the past three weeks, and we shall soon reveal the reboot of Big Shoes to the world. All of the returning members are playing different characters this year, and I have been cast as Alexander. Last year I was Alexander’s little brother Gordy. The brothers’ relationship is key to the story and it has been a real treat to explore that sibling dynamic from the other side. Seeing Gordy’s journey through Alexander’s eyes is almost like watching myself grow up! “This thing is for Fearless Warriors, Intrepid Explorers . . .”! So says Alexander at the beginning of Big Shoes to explain to Gordy why he can not be admitted to the exclusive Shackleton Club. The Open Dream Ensemble is composed of just that sort of adventurers. This fantastic company is fearlessly attacking our collective boundaries and redrawing the map as we explore Big Shoes anew. This team is full of the bravest adventures and together we are well on our way to the summit!
