Costume Necessities

I am attempting to catch up with my real life projects this minute: blogs, bills and borrespondence (correspondence…but I needed another ‘b’ word in order to make the alliteration work).

Audience Comment about Don Juan Giovanni

The American Repertory Theatre is proud to support other non-profit organizations in its community. We do work with Barry Andelman of the AIDS Action Committee of Boston giving them tickets to performances. Barry sent along the following comment he received about Don Juan Giovanni:

We had a VERY enjoyable, sometimes side-slapping, evening. We definitely want to see Figaro as well.

Beehive Adventures

As part of my job at A.R.T., I assist the Company/Front of House Manager. While he and most of the theater’s staff were across the pond in Scotland with our production of Orpheus X, it was my job to take his place and handle any company managerial needs. This was convenient since I was already spending every day with the company of Figaro and Don Juan Giovanni and they were the only ones around that would require my services.

Let’s celebrate…

We had our first audience tonight. A nice crowd I must say. Very smart and very aware. We got such a warm response. Whew…We’ve been alone for a few weeks so it’s nice to add the crowd. Can’t wait for the weekend - especially Sunday when we are “open” officially.

Sister and I are rewarding ourselves for a good night’s work. She is perched on the desk chair looking at D-listed. Funny site, if not a bit sardonic at times. She has moved onto Molly Good…even funnier. Her secret surfing habits have been revealed. I hope she doesn’t read this. I, myself, am knitting a few more rows on an electric pink sweater I am making. Sometimes I look at it and wonder what I was thinking…it is pi-unk. I have faith that I can carry it off.?.?Oh have faith Jenny.

Meeting Theatre de la Jeune Lune

A few weeks ago I was asked to lend a helping hand to Theatre de la Jeune Lune while they rehearsed Don Juan Giovanni and Figaro, which they would be performing at A.R.T. Although my background in theater is pretty diverse, I was unsure and slightly apprehensive about what I would be doing for them and how they would react to a new person being in the room. They did recently win a Tony Award after all! I’m not sure why but I expected to walk into a room of crazy strict people who were engrossed in “the art” and had “diva” tendencies. I learned pretty quickly that the people from Theatre de la Jeune Lune were quite the opposite.
