This is Snout the Tinkerer. He is kind and well, kind. I wasn’t sure if he was sad because of the interview or just sad.

Eric: What is your name?

Snout: …….Snout…the tinkerer.

Eric: What do you like most about yourself?

Snout: ………I like to make stuff out of wood. I’m kind of quiet. People say that I’m a downer, but I think I’m just more practical. I like to also think of myself as a good actor, because I have a bold stage persona. I guess that’s it, I’m not really good at interviews.

Eric: What should the audience be most excited about for the show?

Snout: Seeing the other actors in the show. I didn’t even really want to be in it, but the others insisted, so here I am.

This is Starveling. He is a bit obsessed with his appearance, but can you blame the guy, he is suave.

Eric: What is your name?

Starveling: Starveling THE Tailor.

Eric: What do you like most about yourself?

Starveling: Well my taste is impeccable. I always have the best ideas, even if no one listens to them. In the end, I’m ALWAYS right.

Eric: What should the audience be most excited about for the show?

Starveling: The audience would be excited to see my costume choices. I especially love the work I did on Flute’s wig. Also, my performance as Moonshine is sublime.

This is Nick Bottom. He is…well, I’ll let his interview speak for itself.

Eric: What is your name?

Nick Bottom: Nick Bottom. Weaver by day, actor extraordinaire at every other hour.

Eric: What do you like most about yourself?

Nick Bottom: My good looks and rich, resonant voice.

Eric: What should the audience be most excited about for the show?

Nick Bottom: My tragic and wondrous death as Pyramus. It will ask for tears in the true performing of it. Look to your eyes. I will move storms.

All right folks. We are closing the show this week! Keep an eye out for next week’s post, where we will show you how it went. See you soon!

Behind the Scenes of Adapting Swan Lake

June 15, 2023 08:24 PM
With a show as universal as Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake Ballet, one would think that there wouldn’t be many unknowns to staging a production. However, director Ashley Parov had a vision to make this classic ballet more accessible to ballerinas of all ages. Instead of producing a typical 3-hour-long ballet, Ashley imagined an hour-long family-friendly piece. How then, do you fill in the gaps of the story?
