So, we've just launched our 2008-09 season brochure. The concept behind it is pretty cool. We asked Rep staff to "play the parts" of some of the characters in the shows and set up three days of photo shoots. The pictures turned out funny, sweet and really genuine, which we hope reflects the season we have lined up. For a full list of plays, visit www.seattlerep.org. We're kicking things off with a really fun version of The Three Musketeers.
Anyway, you can see the brochure for yourself in a neat flash layout that will let you flip the pages here. And below is a slide show of behind-the-scenes photos and a short behind-the-scenes video I shot during the shoot for You Can't Take it With You. Enjoy!

You Can't Take It With You
So...What did you think?
We went down to the lobby last night and asked people what they thought of The Cure at Troy. I'm not lying when I say that all the comments were really positive: I didn't edit any negative things out. And they came from both men and women from high school age on up, which is surprising considering this is a totally unique and different show with crazy singing, a giant mountain for a set and bare-chested men bathing in an on-stage mud pool...all adaptated from a Greek myth.

As promised, the ridiculously cool time lapse video of the The Cure at Troy 16-foot mountain being built in the scene shop and moved onstage. The set was designed by Blythe Quinlan, it took about three weeks to build, and you can see it live and in person (with hot bare-chested men crawling on it in real mud) April 3-May 3. I think that's all you need to know.

Last Friday our Education Associate Jess and I went downtown to see if shoppers at Westlake Center 1. Like John Denver and 2. Would sing his songs for us on camera (because, you know, we're opening Back Home Again: A John Denver Holiday Concert tonight. The results? Seattle likes John Denver AND they like to sing (you can be the judge of whether or not they can sing).
By the way, we got a sneak peek of the music (performed by former members of John's band, including Dan Wheetman who co-wrote Fire on the Mountain, which we did last season). It was awesome. I didn't even think I liked John Denver, and surprise! It almost brought me to tears. Take me home, country roads.

For one, don't freak out. The blog looks different, but it's all the same, you know, in its heart. We're trying out a new look that looks more like the Seattle Rep homepage. Thoughts?
For two, we just made our first "behind-the-scenes" video. I'd like to share it with you now.
