Here's Trey Stephens on the set of Fully Committed, his one-man show that opens this Friday, May 15th. It closes May 16th, so be sure not to miss it, as it's literally going to come one day and be gone the next!
Trey portrays 36 different characters. How he's keeping them all straight, I don't know! The main character is Sam. Sam handles reservations for a busy French restaurant in New York. Fully Committed is a comedy. I'm sure Trey is going to be exhausted at the end of it.
You can only imagine the amount of paint that goes into some theatre sets.
Lucky Stiff Director Tony Peregoy sent me this photo from today's painting day. Tony told me the plans for the stage weeks ago - a huge roulette wheel! I knew it was going to look really cool. Here it is so far.
Isn't that King of Hearts totally awesome looking? I can't wait to see this show! I've seen it before and this musical comedy is just hilarious. I will probably be in the audience more than once!
Today Kim Marshall, Taylor Marshall, Linden Marshall, Megan Martin, Sam Gentry, Renee Gentry, and Tony's Peregoy's sons spent a lot of time painting various pieces for Lucky Stiff . Tony tackled the floor.
Last Saturday, 12 builders and painters were at the theatre for a paint day.
It amazes me how many coats of paint have gone on the stage. After every show it is painted back to black.
Check out the before and after photos from a gardening project at the theatre. What a difference! Thanks to Rosemary Coakley heading up this project. It looks really beautiful!
