Theatre Tuesday

I seem to have lots of time off, and then the sittings group up all at once. This was the case yesterday. I had a shoot for publicity shots for NKU's production of Of Mice and Men at 4:00 and then I got to shoot New Stage Collective's Shining City at 7:00. It was a good day.

Of Mice and Men

I am very excited about this show. The actors in the lead roles are amazing and the director will infuse this story with the sensitivity it will take to make it move past the classic we are all too familiar with and into the realm of a moving piece of theater.




Shining City

This play was all I had hoped for - a good Irish drama. It is about the nuances and complications of modern relationships, with a bit of a ghost story thrown in. The show is simply staged but brilliant. The entire show takes place inside one location: a therapist's office. This allows for the set (which is quite nice) to fall away to give the actors center stage (no pun intended) to do what they do best - tell a story. Brilliantly acted, I was spellbound. I forgot I was supposed to be taking pictures several times!
