A CHOIR, A TENOR, AN UPRIGHT BASS....and One Thing After Another

A Choir, a Tenor, an Upright Bass...and One Thing After Another by Barbara Biddison

A warm sunny early October afternoon. The beautiful St. Paul's Episcopal Church. An Autumn Chorale with Treble Choir and guest tenor soloist. And Director Putnam has already noted in an earlier blog what was planned to be, and all of that happened.  Of course, he couldn't describe in advance the audience participation, the "Join us in singing" parts such as "The Moose Song" and "The Fruit Song." I'm going to guess that at least half the audience members were related to, or close friends of, the singers.  So, everybody sang.  At the end of the concert, we heard songs from next year's HG musical Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.  And then we went out again into the warm sunny afternoon with hearts full of music.  We're told that there are openings in both choirs now as they learn new music.

What's next?  Auditions for Women's Project which will include Holiday letters and three short plays that center on the holidays. (See below for audition times.) And in November a musical Anne of Green Gables (which is now cast and in rehearsal). Jessie Thompson is directing this one. Those who saw and/or were in WOODPECKER LIPS will remember this Jessie Thompson, this Anne director, as the one who envisioned the idea and produced the whole woodpecker series.  Then after all of this comes December with its Dickens and its choirs and its Christmas Carol and its MESSIAH Community Sing. But more of all that another time. It's early October now, and it's time to admire the changing leaves and to walk around town without worry about icy patches.

Details for Women's Project auditions: Oct. 14, 1-3pm; Oct. 15, 2-4pm; Oct. 16, 6-8pm.  Lots of juicy roles for women, and some for men too (including a guy wanting to play a large dog. who writes a letter). Y'all come!
