CRAFT & SPIRIT

CRAFT AND SPIRIT
BEAUTY AND THE BEAST

The stage is set, built to expand our story in height, distance, depth, and more. Lights illuminate all the work we as a cast have done, accentuating, revealing, hiding, playing, and dancing. Microphones reach where we couldn’t go before, enhancing only what is already there, sound taking an audience to distant locations like caverns, taverns, castles, and dungeons. Our costumes offer us different forms, unintelligible to the original individual underneath masking and informing character.

Tonight is the night we open Beauty and the Beast at The Renaissance Theater in Mansfield, Ohio. The team has spent countless hours on this project, building, shaping, crafting, molding, painting, and editing. Working in their sleep, randomly dreaming up new ideas to add and improve. Some hardly sleep at all to get their tasks accomplished. Their work cannot go unnoticed, the show we’re opening is a testament to the individual power of a person to the whole of a project.

I’m again reminded of a quote a close friend of mine gave me “Talent in non-geographical.” I didn’t have to travel miles and miles to California to find it, nor did I have to attend the National Theater in London to view it. Here is where we have that talent, here is where we have that drive, and here is where we can continue to grow and develop.

It’s time to grab your tickets to come see our work. Don’t miss your chance to see the love I’ve put into this show, and the love our cast, crew, and team have put into this show. We’ve truly lifted each other to new heights, and this process has raised and set a new foundational growth in me. I can’t wait to see you there.
