Marco Polo - The Musical
All that work... the last two months have been pretty intensive as we worked to bring this musical to life. We'd never done such a large show, and at Harbour Station it was a technical feat. Thank goodness for having great teams of people working on it.
Kudos to everyone who worked on it. It was tiring but worth it. A good learning experience, a great groupd of folks, and fantastic music (written by Mark Blagrave, composed by Richard Kidd, and brought to life by Antonio Delgatio and the New Brunswick Youth Orchestra, as well as the Saint John High Chool Choir and the Rothesay Nether wood Choir, and our cast of 32 SJTC folks)

Another Marco Polo set piece
Thankfully I had some great help with set painting from Tim & Lynda & Sally & Sally's boyfriend. We got the wails and wooden setpieces painted in a couple of evenings (in between rehearsals on the weekend), and then during rehearsal on Monday, I got the ship's agent's sign done. It's been a busy week...

Marco Polo - the Musical
Well, as soon as I got back from my trip, my evenings and weekends are now devoted to working on the show. I'm Assistant Directing it, and until we get a Stage Manager, I'm filling in with that as well. We were all pretty pumped once we got a chance to rehearse the music with the New Brunswick Youth Orchestra...

The Necklace of Gaudiness (+2)
Brenda's mom started this and I decorated it. It was for Scott Thomas's character Roger (the very gay director) in SJTC's "The Producers". I tried to make it Scott-sized and as glittery and gaudy as possible. The "plus two" is a D&D reference - referring to extra dice rolls needed as a saving throw to ward against being stunned by the incredible gaudiness of it.
