TUNA Opening Weekend

TUNA CHRISTMAS opened this past weekend with three great audiences in Mabee Theatre II. I think that cast and crew - as well as the director - were ready to put this show in front of an audience and get the ball rolling. Mike and David worked really hard, and both are experienced at dealing with live audiences - from their years on the Mummer stage. In addition, the crew has done a great job of supporting the show. We now have six different dressers trained to work with the quick changes, and Doug has several light board operators and two great ASM to assist him with the upcoming run of the show.

On Sunday, I returned to A CHRISTMAS CAROL rehearsals - I don't know if they remembered me! We blocked most of the major group scenes in the show, including Act One, Scene One; Act One, Scene Three; and Act Two, Scene Five. I will continue to block the show throughout the next 6-8 rehearsals - with a break for the MAAS fundraising concert on Thursday night at the Yucca Theatre. I will keep you updated - through this blog - on the status of rehearsals for A CHRISTMAS CAROL.

The Cue Card for A CHRISTMAS CAROL has gone out, and we expect tickets to go as quickly as they did for TUNA CHRISTMAS. Contact the Box Office with questions - boxoffice@mctmidland.org or (432) 570-4111 or visit our website.
