Characters Come to Life with Costumes – Princess Shayna Musical
Last Week’s Post: 13. Polishing the Play, Cast Tee Shirts & A White Falcon – Princess Shayna Musical
Final count down…Only 3 more days until the Princess Shayna Musical performance! You can read the Princess Shayna Musical Announcement on my website for more details!
I can hardly believe this is the 14th journal entry/blog post from the multi-talented, skillful and encouraging director, Kim Woycke before the premier performance this Sunday!
Kim, the cast and I are now sing a new rendition to the holiday song “It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas”. Our rendition is: “It beginning to feel a lot like Show Time!”
Below is Kim’s journal about last Friday’s 1st dress rehearsal.
“It’s really starting to feel like show time now. We had our first dress rehearsal at Trilogy this week, and I have to say I am extremely excited for the production!
First of all, the costumes all look amazing. It really added an entire dimension to the show! Each village is so bright with their colors, and the characters really come to life with their costumes.
I am thrilled to say that we did a complete run-through of the show, and it is really feeling like a musical. The cast has obviously worked very hard, and I was very impressed with a few of the actors who stood out with fabulous memorization and bold character choices. Our cast still has some work to do with memorizing their lines, but in general they have really done a great job.
In addition to rehearsal this week, I also was able to meet and take a tour of Middle School North’s theater space. Wow! What a beautiful space. I am new to Lake Zurich, so this was my first experience at this theater. The students in this district are very fortunate to have such wonderful arts facilities. During my tour I was able to figure out our sound and light needs, as well as begin to plan out our scene changes and scenery requirements.
I am definitely looking forward to this weekend. I am so proud of the cast and what they have accomplished and I can’t wait for them to have the opportunity to show off their hard work.”
