Tuna Christmas - Dress Rehearsals

Sorry for the delay in posting updates - CHRISTMAS CAROL auditions, Indian Guides camping trips, teaching at Midland College and preparation and planning for our 2010 season have kept my plate full.

TUNA CHRISTMAS rehearsals have progress well, and Mike and David are ready to put on the costumes and get ready for an audience. We've created solid characters for both actors, settled on vocal choices, smoothed out the blocking and pantomime of props and now need the added pressure of costumes and costumes changes. Those of you who know the TUNA series will understand that these shows are all about the costume changes - getting these changes "choreographed" so that the actors can concentrate on the show - and not on the changes - is the biggest challenge this week. Tonight is first dress rehearsal - the guys had a rehearsal with Rebecca (Costume Designer) and the dressers last Thursday - and this should get us "on the road" to opening night.

For those looking for tickets - or frustrated that you can't get tickets - the Box Office has been working with me to add performances to meet our membership demands. Check in with the Box Office - (432) 570-4111 or boxoffice@mctmidland.org - and they can update you on added shows. We want you to visit Tuna this holiday season, and we're working hard to make it happen!
