First Rehearsal!

Red Noses begins!

We had a beautiful, and lengthy read through of the play last night (there are still so many cuts to be made). But still, it was wonderful to have everyone together - in the same room, almost magical! And delicious. We had a potluck dinner with curry, cake, caprese salad, hummus, bean salad, chips, and brownies! Yum.

Shoshi Bass led us in a spectacular warm up where we got to move all together as a group - milling and seething, stretching, and all of that wonderful stuff. The climax of the warm-up was "Me!" - an activity where while everyone is moving around the room, one person shouts "Me!" and forms an angular shape. The rest of the group rushes to them, finds a point on their body to lift, and raises the "Me!-er" into the air. It was beautiful!

Congrats to the Grads!

I would like to welcome a few new folks into the growing group of NEYT Alumni - Rosa Palmeri, Allie Bliss, Riley Goodemote, and Shannon Ward. These four have really taken on great challenges at the NEYT and have brought a lot to the theatre with their work as mentors and leaders in the community. Two of them, Rosa and Shannon, will be joining other alums in a production of "Red Noses" this summer.

There is quite a bit of talent coming out of this little corner of Vermont! I just want to celebrate the beautiful people graduating this month in this post! Congratulations Rosa, Riley, Allie and Shannon!
