Swiss Family ReWrites Go On Stage Tonight!
This past week the actors, technicians, and stage management, with the leadership of Maurice LaMee the director and Jeff Carey the playwright of SWISS FAMILY ROBINSON have been rehearsing a few changing to the script. Some of them are simple line phrasing, but others involves the switching around of scenes and revamping the ending (including cutting the majority of one scene). Tonight those changes hit the Mainstage in front of an audience.
CRT is a very special place where such changes are not seen as a necessarily evil when working on new play development, but rather these changes are embraced in helping to hone the artistic product, no matter what the current state of the process. And that was witnessed today during the technical rehearsal; everyone striving to make the best possible choices to bring the show to the next level.
To those who have already seen SWISS FAMILY ROBINSON, come see the new changes soon. To those who haven’t yet seen SWISS FAMILY ROBINSON, you won’t want to miss it! It’s a magical evening for the entire family with a brilliantly conceived script (based on the original novel) by Jeff Carey with gorgeous songs by Jessica Jackson. The set design by Jeff Carey and Ryan Prince, complimented by Natalie Maynard’s realistic costumes and Ryan Wentworth’s exquisite lighting, bring the various locales of Switzerland, shipwreck, and tropical island to life. Completed as perfectly by the beautiful voices of the actors accompanied by Evangelos Spanos on piano, it won’t be a theatrical experience you will soon forget!
