Well what I have below are photographs from
the production we did of Romeo and Juliet. Overall it was a
wonderful experience and it is probably the show I am the most proud
of. They were a rough couple of months but the people who say it seems
to love it.
It was also my first co-directorial
experience and that was fun. Little to no sleep, long hours, lots
of money spent but also the joy of finding new people. My dear friends
Kelley came back to play a role and I found two new people, Kevin,
who played Romeo, and Mike, who played the Friar, just amazing. Seeing
Kevin on stage was mesmerizing. He was so good. And just the nicest
guy. Mike also blew us away. The entire cast was incredible. Good
times.
