Our show at the BLT opened last night to a sell out crowd. That feels good too because our theater really needs the funds. Since the car crashed into our theater last July, we've been displaced. Our current location, although not ideal, was offered to us at a considerably reduced rent by one of our longtime patrons and funders. We gratefully accepted, renovated the space into a theater and plan to be there while the executive board researches our next move. For now, the BLT2 is serving us well as evidenced by the success at opening night of Little Shop of Horrors.
Kim is not seen onstage, but is certainly heard as the voice of Audrey II, the blood thirsty, saucy talking giant plant. He rocks belting out the songs, Feed Me! & Suppertime, while the rest of us backstage groove to the beat in the wings. I'm in the chorus with a short solo and a few lines as a customer dropping into the flower shop to check out the Audrey II. The show is runs under 2 hours, just a nice length of time leaving the audience happy and not too sleepy to drive home.
I hope the patrons will continue to fill the seats throughout the rest of the run. With 10 remaining performances this should be a fine money-maker for our "new theater account". Please visit our website to learn more about our productions.
