Breaking Legs first weekend

Our lead was flying back to Atlanta on Friday. He was on stand by for an earlier flight but could not get a seat and then his scheduled flight was delayed by an hour. He landed at 6:30 and did not make it to the theatre until 8:30. South Atlanta to Roswell is a very long way.

So we started 30 minutes late and everybody had trouble with lines, but we survived. For Friday and Saturday most of the cast considered the plays as dress rehearsals with no calling for lines. And I believe that we were reviewed by a MAT Judge on Saturday.

Sunday’s audience was great. The laughed a lot. The cast had worked out tweaks that made the show better.

Not a bad weekend considering that we only had 3 or 4 rehearsals in July.

Breaking Legs Will Open This Weekend

But in the old theatre location. Building out the new theatre is slow going, especially when all the work is with volunteers. Not that volunteers are a bad thing, it’s that the volunteers like myself can only work after hours.

The new theatre is looking good and we may be able to do part of the run in the new theatre. But in the meantime, we finished building the set in the old theatre location. Tonight we paint. Hopefully we will have a completed stage for opening on Friday.

Kudzu’s New Theatre

On Tuesday, we rehearsed in Kudzu’s new theatre and this was after a week off for the 4th of July. So rehearsal did not go as well as we would have liked.

This was also supposed to be Tech Week for Breaking Legs, but the theatre is not ready to open. Last night I helped finish putting in the seats. The walls still need to be painted and dressing rooms built. The stage lights have not been installed. Sound is not installed. And finally the tech booth has not been built.

Still a lot of work to do to get the theatre ready and this is even before the set has been built.

It’s going to be a nice theatre though.

Breaking Legs Opening is Delayed

Kudzu Playhouse is desperately trying to move into their new space. This is the third play that was supposed to Open in the new location. The delays have been, as far as I know, issues out of Kudzu’s hands.

So we are not opening this weekend. Hopefully next weekend.

MAT Awards 2008 Season

The Metropolitan Atlanta Theatre Awards’ 2008 Season is underway. Kudzu Playhouse has submitted two plays for review. One of them is Breaking Legs. Looking over the award categories, I think BEST ACTOR IN A MINOR SUPPORTING ROLE, PLAY is what I would be looking at in the individual categories. That would be cool.

We have a great cast and I would hope we could get BEST OVERALL PERFORMANCE OF A PLAY.

Take a look at MATs website for more details.
