END OF THE RUN

So, Saturday night my hubby's play came to an end. It was a fun run.

REVIEW - Opening Night

It was a HOT one!!! The show was fun, the actors did a great job, the stage crew was on-spot and it was a wonderful weekend. But...it was hot. At about 100 degrees in the cold Pacific Northwest, we were all toasty.

Here are a few shots from the play.

Here's my hubby in his stage makeup

Would you care for a glass of Elderberry Wine?

Opening Night

Tonight is opening night!!! I just wanted to say "break a leg" to the cast and crew :D

Thursday Thriller

My hubby is playing a serial killer in Arsenic and Old Lace. He's supposed to have had a botched plastic surgery on his face. So, we started playing with some liquid latex. Here's the fun we had.

Okay here he is normally - I know a little scarey ;)

But here he is putting the makeup on.

And here he is at his first attempt at stage makeup.

I know gorgeous :D It's going to take a little -- okay -- maybe a lot of practice but it sure is fun playing to look sinister and devilish ;D

Stepping Outside the Box

When we were young(er), my husband and I used to love to perform. He had his music and I loved to act. In high school I was in all the plays. Then when we got married, we did a few dinner theater performances together. So it wasn't so surprising when an old friend called and asked him if he'd like to play a part in Arsenic & Old Lace. The surprising part was having my hubby play the evil serial killer in the plot . . .

So, if you're going to be in Portland in August (17-18 or 24-25) come and see a dark but humorous story about a family of serial killers in Arsenic & Old Lace

Arsenic and Old Lace

Cary Grant was wonderful in the dark comedy Arsenic and Old Lace back in 1944 and now my hubby will be playing the part of Johnathan, the serial killing lunatic brother to Cary Grant's character in a local production of the show.

The play will be performed August 17-18 and 24-25. So, if you're wanting to see a humorous production and about a serial killing family, you'll want to check this out.

I'll post more as the production gets closer.
