"These our actors, as I foretold you, are all spirits"
Well, our revels now have indeed ended - the past four months of hard work, dedication, and lots of fun have come to a close. Three out of the five nights had perfect, sunny weather in the park, one show was performed in the Rene M Caisse Memorial Theatre while a real-life tempest (tornadoes!) raged outside, and Saturday's finale was performed in the park amid soggy skies (there never was an audience so brave).
Once again, a monumental thank-you to everyone who attended, performed, helped out, and offered support - there are so many people who were never seen on the stage without whom this production would never have happened or been as wonderful and experience as it was. Our set-builders, producers, backstage directors, sound crew, musicians, board of directors, parents, and volunteers: we bow to you.
As a parting gift until next summer, we'll leave you with some pictures of the performances, as well as a small essay/summary of our production. As Prospero would say, "Let me not, since I have my dukedom got, and pardoned the deceiver, dwell on this bare island by your spell."
Or, as Stephen Fenn would say, "Adieuadieuadieu."
All pictures were taken by either Jeremy Clipsham or Chris Hutt - more can be seen at Jeremy's photobucket album, or on facebook.
( 'How many goodly creatures there are here! How beautiful mankind is!' )
As in every production - musical, theatrical, or otherwise - there are things the audience will never notice (or worse, notice and not understand). These are little touches that have usually been meticulously rehearsed, only to fit so seamlessly into the play only the most eagle-eyed observer will spot them. Every company has their own personal techniques, signature moves, or ways of expressing subtle details. Ours is no exception. Below are a few such things we've included in the production; if you want to get the most from your PRISM experience, or you're interested in the subtleties of both Shakespeare and Robin's expert direction, then lay onMacduff (oops wrong play).
