First, a sincere thank you to everyone who came out to see The Stage Monkeys of Lafayette's improv shows last week. They will be back in November, but we sure are going to miss them during October!
This past weekend saw the UL student production of Proof by David Auburn move into Theatre 810. In a continuing relationship with the UL Department of Performing Arts, Proof is being directed by Kelsey LaCoste, a BFA senior in the department. Mario Raymond, a junior concentrating in technical design and production, is the scenic and lighting designer. Theatre students are also performing in the show, the exception being veteran actor, Duncan Thistlethwaite, who is portraying the role of Robert, the father. In an student-mentor style process, faculty at the university have been guiding the students through the process of bringing a show from script to stage. Proof will be a one-weekend production, so please reserve your seats or purchase tickets online as soon as you are able. Let's support our next generation of theatre practitioners, Lafayette! For more information, please visit the Proof event page.
Also this week, AUI's Dracula will continue rehearsing in Space 806. As anyone who has been downtown on Jefferson in the evenings can attest, this cast has been hard at work bringing the original 1927 stage play to life. We can't wait to see it complete with effects and spectacle! A source close to the production says that stage make-up technicians will be watching rehearsals this week to determine the specific needs of this show.
Oh! One other thing - a GIANT happy birthday to Marie Diaz, our Development Director, today - Happy Birthday, Marie!!!
That's it for us, right now....but we have lots more coming up, so stay tuned to our Facebook page and keep reading!
