Russ came into The BOX Theatre nearly breathless earlier this week and said to me so quietly I barely heard him......"I get SO excited at the beginning of the season."
Looking up into his bright eyes I whispered back...."So do I."
In about six weeks, LAMB Arts Regional Theatre will be presenting the first production of our 33rd Season. That's a lot of productions. A lot of seasons. But it goes without saying that despite the blood, sweat and tears that inevitably come with each season, those negatives are balanced with the joy, laughter, and creative collaborations that also occur. We look forward to sharing our productions with all of Siouxland. We love observing and participating in the growth of all our students and our fellow actors. It sometimes amazes me that we can still feel that inevitable excitement that "it all is starting up again.....and we just can't wait!"
"If you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life."-Confucius
Well, we found "something that we love"---but we also end up "working at that something we love" every day of our lives.....so go figure!
Melissa is busily getting students registered. Jessica is working on advertisers for the playbill program for the season and getting sponsors for the shows. Jade and Olay are hard at work organizing the prop shop and large furniture storage, cleaning the shop and painting around the theatre. Russ is busy designing the PILLOWMAN set and doing all those things that need to happen at the beginning of the season. Donny is working on recording music for rehearsals for PUTNAM COUNTY and THE MARVELOUS WONDERETTES. Karen is pulling costumes for PILLOWMAN, ANNE FRANK & ME, MURDER AT CAFE NOIR and the Caravan. I am getting the LAMB Caravan ready for their 2100 miles 10 day tour in September and working with Russ, Jessica, Melissa and Donny on getting all our class curriculums and materials ready to go.
The theatre is buzzing and the excitement is mounting. Wednesday, September 6 classes will begin. September 12 the Caravan begins their tour. September 14 PILLOWMAN opens our 33rd Season. And we are off and running.
Join us for what will be another adventure full of great memories.
