The big project of the past month or so has been completed. “The Imaginary Invalid” opened on Wednesday night to a sold-out house. What a great way to open. The next two nights were smaller audiences, but they didn’t let their size diminish response. The show is off to a great start and promises to be a lot of fun for both cast and audience for the rest of Pendragon’s season.
Right after that show got opened, the focus at the theater shifted to preparations for one of the big special events of the 30th Anniversary celebration. We did one read-thru and one sorta blocking rehearsal for one staged reading of “The Royal Family” by Kaufman and Ferber. The cast was made up of former company members reaching back through Pendragon’s entire 30 year history. It was a lot of fun and proved to be a great way to celebrate. It got a lot of us on stage with others we had never had the pleasure of playing with before.
Here's most of the reunion cast of Pendragon's Royal Family.
Now, with any luck, I’ll be able to put my photographer’s hat back on and get crackin with making some new images. I think I remember sort of how that camera thingy works. No photography, no paddling and no biking for way too long. Time to change all of that.
