5:07 PM (4 hours ago) to me We have a busy and informative meeting coming up this month. To start off we have a workshop from The Fox and the Fairway directed by Hilary Ritz. Previous to COVID Hilary directed a workshop from Good Doctor starring Crys Hymel. For her first workshop with us Hilary received help with casting, props etc. Now that this is her second she was told she was an old hand and was on her own. It looks like she is doing well. Please come and cheer on Hilary and her cast, David Cleveland, Vanessa Morales, and Sarah Williet. As a general note reminder, directing an original workshop is a great way to show off your potential as a director for other things. Also as we are cheering people on, let us not forget to give major support for our ongoing play, Stop Kiss. The cast includes Brit Garcia (a TSW veteran), Antonia Macovei (a talented and fun newcomer), Helen Warwick (All in the Timing, a Houston favorite), Darien Weems (a recent and talented graduate of Carnegie Mellon University), Aaron Cook ( a multi FOO veteran), and Jackson Alexander (All in the Timing and star of Guess Who's Coming to Dinner). Dates for Stop Kiss are April 15 - 30. The show is exceptional and Brit has a mere 22 costume changes (come see how a pro does it). Come, clap, enjoy and appreciate. If you want to cheer some more - cheer for Jaci Jeane who is in the midst of preparation for The Legend of Georgia McBride. Also, meet her and her husband Jim at the meeting. Jaci directs and Jim will help with tech. Mimi Holloway TSW Artistic Director |
