Cote St. Luc Dramatic Society goes back in time to 1960s Baltimore with “Hairspray: The Musical”
Cote St. Luc Dramatic Society goes back in time to 1960s Baltimore with “Hairspray: The Musical”
The Cote St. Luc Dramatic Society’s past 12 months have been good, to say the least.
Last spring, their high energy production of “Catch Me If You Can: The Musical” played to sold out crowds and critical acclaim. Then last October, the production garnered a Montreal English Theatre Award (META) nomination in the community theatre category. Then this past January, “Catch Me If You Can” was…

On winging it.
We've been pulling together an alumni event at work focused on the college archives and dramatic society, basically showing a slideshow of old photos, reviews, and posters, plus staging a selection of scenes from plays that were part of past seasons in the 60s and 80s. It's been pretty hectic and last-minute to say the least (3rd rewrite of the script today for a show in one day, 2 chances to run the entire show with everyone).... in other words, we'll just have to wing it!
My boss kept commenting "It's just like the nineteenth century!" referring to the way plays were usually performed back in the day --one rehearsal the night before, leading star in late (this is a timeless phenomenon though), rest of the cast still learning lines, changes happening left right and centre, and the SM running around trying to pull together something halfway coherent (also a timeless task).
So comes the expression "wing it." Actors would literally tape parts of their script in the wings so they could be learning them before their entrance. Then, if they forgot their lines on stage, they would have to find a way during the scene to go back towards the wings and surreptitiously peek at their cheat sheets. CAN YOU EVEN IMAGINE. That image just cracks me up. Reminds me of a particular dramatic society production of A Midsummer Night's Dream that had a character called "Ye Old Script Boy" (she wore a sign) sitting on stage with the prompt book.
Back to work and other things.
Spent the day on a ladder, working my biceps striking and hanging lights. Was a nice change from all the sitting I do in rehearsals! That's gotta be my least favourite aspect of stage managing.
My job at my college's theatre (and home to the drama society) is pretty much wrapping up at the end of this month. It's quite sad to be leaving, because it's very much been a second home to me the past 4 years. I remember being asked in my NTS interview what my "favourite theatre" was. At first I thought they were referring to a theatre company, but they meant an actual venue/physical space. To which personal attachment obviously answers the question. There will never be anything quite like the intimate, 180 seat, Stratford-modelled, practically backstageless (stage left wing? what stage left wing?) theatre-doubled-as-lecture-hall space in which I have worked so many shows, met so many incredible people, and discovered a true passion. In the same space I have played actor, director, stage manager, administrative assistant, and technician. Between the prolific, organised sink-or-swim chaos of the drama society, and the can-do-go-for-it attitude of my amazing manager, the groundwork has been laid --almost without me even realising it --for what I hope will be an eventful life and career backstage.
That's why this theatre will always be my favourite.
At dinner tonight we somehow came up with the hypothetical situation of having a booth situated between 4 stages so you could call 4 plays at once, it would be like an SM reality show
Facebook conversation a year ago with Rent lighting designer, relating an apparently genius idea me and the sound designer (also my roommate at the time) came up with.
I love reading back on show period messages, but sometimes I wonder what I was smoking....how exactly does this work as a reality show and who exactly would watch it?

What SMs like: Pseudo But Still Awesome Awards
Just found out our drama society's production of RENT was nominated for the BroadwayWorld Toronto Awards' Best Youth Theatre Production. It's just for fun but knowing we made a blip on the theatre community's radar makes me so damn happy and proud of everyone I worked with. That show was the turning point in my decision to pursue stage managing and so will always be that special lovechild I shamelessly flaunt to the tabloids because I can't go on the Oprah show.
What SMs Do: Paint Sets
For shows they aren't working on.
Or maybe that's just me and my crazy administrative job. Working in a theatre is sweet that way.
