Tonight is the opening night for our 2010 Yucca musical - The Rocky Horror Show. We've been doing these shows for the past five years, and we've had some hits (Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, Rent) and some misses (Chicago, The Full Monty) with our audience attending these shows. It's not a part of the membership season, and thus everyone who attends must buy a ticket. We've had some good publicity - many thanks to the MRT, Good Times Magazine, KODM and KMID-TV for their support - and now we're waiting for the crowds to show up and watch the show.
Frankly, this has been a wonderful process as a director. The cast is a mix of veterans to the MCT stage and some newcomers - there are several people in the show that have never appeared in an MCT production. It's been a fun rehearsal process - working on the songs, the dances and the scenes. Misti Tytanic has done a great job with the choreography, and Bert Bostic has done an outstanding job with the music. Our great band is a wonderful addition to the show, and our outstanding volunteers are helping us backstage with costumes, sets, lighting and sound. Stage Manager Jaime Sotelo is ready to call his first musical - it's time to do the TIME WARP again!
If you don't have tickets, come down to the Yucca Theatre and join the fun:
Friday and Saturday, April 23 and 24 at 8 p.m.
Friday and Saturday, April 30 and May 1 at 8 p.m.
