Macbeth Out!

This is the last post from me. We closed Saturday. Closing weekend had full houses, multiple curtain calls, and lots of old friends in the audience. Joan (the director) was there on closing night and I think very impressed to see how the show had grown.

One of my highlights for the night was during our strike, when Leontyne needed to move the truck across the street, after having been parked in by a minivan and a motorcycle right in front of the nightclub. It was about five minutes of total chaos, and I directed traffic!

All in all playing Macbeth was a tremendous learning experience. I know so much more now about playing characters with status and power, and the nuance required to play a character who grows and changes as the protagonist of a story. It's been fun to blog as well.

Thanks for reading this. Visit the website for info on the 2009 season. www.womanswill.org.
