We survived -- er, completed -- a full-cast run-through a while back. To paraphrase the King of Hearts, we were successfully able to begin at the beginning, go on till we came to the end, then stop, which is a pretty fucking amazing achievement considering the eclectic mix of what we're doing, and the constraints that we're trying to do it in. Our stage manager, Erika Loen, also happens to be one of those transient photographers-about-town, and snapped a number of photographs.
A big part of what's so thrilling about this project for me is cramming together such a disparate group of personalities and disciplines in my apartment, and seeing what they come up with, as evidenced by the following:
Tara King, one of the dancers from Mad King Thomas, alongside Dean Hatton. Dean's the one in the shorts.
And look! Here's one of the Brothers Quetico, garbed as Bragi, the Norse god of poetry. Folk art is the new regular art, indeed.
Erika was kind enough to contribute the following notes:
When stage managing a show for Maximum Verbosity it is important to remember three things:
1) Feed the actors.
2) Never worry about being overdressed. You will be. Period.
3) Bring your camera.
Eleven days 'til opening. Gulp.
