Don't take this show
lightly; it'll kick your butt!
This is probably my
weakest effort as a director; I was tired of wrestling with sets in the
park, and I was doing a little bit too much thinking. The show was
under-designed and over-conceived... not a great combination. The cast
deserved better from me.
Anyway, Michelle, Pete,
Brenda, the kids, and the rest of the cast were great, and I met some
wonderful people. My Mom worked her tail off to provide some great
costumes (yet again). I also learned a lot (you always learn more from
failure than success), and I was more than ready to move on to CPCT.
I wouldn't have been able
to mount the shows I produced at CPCT if it hadn't been for the obstacles
I had to learn to overcome at Highland Parks. I highly recommend it as a
place to cut your directorial teeth and hone your craft. If you can put
on a good show there, you can put one on anywhere! …oh, and "Sound
of Music"?... I hope we'll meet again someday, you magnificent
bastard!
