Sorry! I have been having my butt kicked my work and trying to keep up with life!

Anyways, I have literally no news to post here. I haven't gotten around to doing any reviews, and my e-mail is as empty as the Weissler's heads when they are trying to stunt cast Chicago.

So PLEASE send me anything you've got! Season press releases, show info and of course, voracious gossip, because we all know we love that.

I will say unto all of you, if you haven't gone to see Singin' in the Rain at Cockpit, you should. The few emails I've gotten have been about that show, and mainly how, if anything, the price of admission is worth it for the rain effect and Elisa Dugan!

Until next, time...

Review- Singin' in the Rain at Cockpit

Hola!

So I went to see "Singin" at Cockpit! Yeah musicals!

Now, let me preface this by saying that I have an intense love for this musical, both on the stage and on the screen, so I had very high expectations for the show, which were met amazingly with some portions and fell short with other portions.

First, I will say that Joseph Murphy does a commendable job. The role of Don Lockwood takes a serious triple threat to pull it off, and Joseph doesn't disappoint. Is he Gene Kelly? No. In this case, he plays the role the way he sees fit. He is doing some heavy-duty dancing and singing on that stage, and while he isn't, he is probably rushing through a quick change to come on stage and do another insane number! The shows title number is done a solid by Joseph. The impressive set complete with a massive on-stage rainstorm becomes a tap dance playground to remarkable effect. Bravo, Mr. Murphy! You have done Mr.Kelly proud!

James Biernatowski tackles the role of Cosmo Brown with great enthusiasm and pulls off the role nicely. I will say that, at times, the acting was a little over-the-top. I'm aware that Cosmo is crazy in his own right as a role, but I think James is going with a more flamboyant and theatrical version of the character as opposed to a traditional take on the role. At the same time, I must applaud his character choices in making it his own. His signature number, "Make em laugh" does just that, even though a particular sight gag involving a brick wall was sort of seen coming from a mile away, but I loved it nonetheless! He looks like he might pass out from exhaustion by the end of the number, but comedy is tough, and he is giving it his all!

Jessica Schaub Phillips plays Kathy Seldon very well. She sings the part beautifully and is a strong tapper, easily keeping up with the boys in "Good Mornin." I will say, though, that I really disliked her wig. She is a beautiful girl (no pun intended) and the wig really ages her. Either way, she gives a stellar performance all around that will make you enjoy her as much as I did.

On to my obligatory favorite. You knew it was coming. Ms. Elisa Dugan as Lina Lamont steals the show. First off, she has the killer good looks to pull the role off. Second, she has beyond mastered Lina's...ahem..."interesting" voice. Third, she simply knows how to pull the best comedic bits from the role without going into territory where she only does things for a laugh. One of the more famous scenes from the show (minus that whole raining on stage thing) is Lina's vocal lesson, where she tries, to great effect, to learn how to say her lines with an accent that doesn't sound like it could break glass, and she OWNS it with her scene partner, Kristen Cooley, who also has some amazing comedic bits throughout the show (watch for her bedazzled flask!)

The set...WOW. I know most of the backdrops must be rented, but the stage is dominated by a giant staircase that transforms into the street scene for the rain effect to happen. The entire thing just works incredibly well for the show. Scenes transition almost effortlessly from one to another with the help of the simple, yet effective set.

Again, Bambi Johnson does not disappoint with choreography. She puts Joseph and James to work with their tap numbers, which could use a little more syncrhonicity, but I will credit that to opening night jitters to a very excited audience. I will say that in the group tap numbers, some of the chorus looks obviously confused with their tap steps. Unfortunately, I don't think Ms. Johnson was given dancers who can really make her choreography soar, but she makes them look as good as she can! At the end of the day, if you can't dance, fake it until you make it!

Overall, I liked it. I think this cast will really hit their stride by next weekend, and I suggest this show for everyone, including families. Tickets are $12-18 and can be purchased at the door (though with the way it will sell, I suggest pre-buying), by calling 443-840-ARTS or online at www.ccbcmd.edu/arts.

As always, PLEASE get out there and support this awesome show, as well as any other theatre events happening around you! The arts are a terrible thing to waste, and James Biernatowski wrestles with a mannequin and a couch, which is reason enough to see the show. Oh...did I mention that IT RAINS ON STAGE? Yeah. See it.

Weekend plans!

Okay, so Cockpit's "Singin' in the Rain" opens on Friday! I've been told there is a preview tonight at 8 that is open to anyone, so if any of you readers go, let me know how it is!

I'll be there either Friday or Saturday evening, and I can't wait!

Break legs everyone!

Actor Q&A: Joseph Murphy

Okay people, I have another Actor Q&A, this time with Joseph Murphy, star of Cockpit's "Singin' in the Rain" which opens on Friday! Joseph has some big, Gene Kelly-sized shoes to fill, but I'm sure that he does an excellent job! I can't wait to see the show, and I'm sending good thoughts your way, Joseph!

Name: Joseph Murphy

Age: 23

Most Recent Show: Annie at Phoenix Festival Theater

Next Show: unknown at this point

Dream Roles: Don Lockwood which I am thrilled to be able to play, Phantom, Che in Evita, and Jekyll and Hyde

Favorite Shows That You've Performed in: Chicago at Phoenix Festival Theater and RENT at Tidewater Players

Worst onstage mishap: Splitting my pants onstage during a dance performance.

Any parting comments: I am thrilled to be playing the role which my idol, Gene Kelly, made famous. I only hope I can do it justice.


Break legs, Joseph! Here's to a great run!

Tony Awards!

So, I was impressed with the Tony Awards last night. A lot better than I thought they would be! I noticed how obviously time-crunched they were at the end, with Sean Hayes cutting off the AI Team about 30 seconds into their speech after they pulled a blackout on them. Oh well. The one thing I don't like about the Tony Awards is that for Best Play and especially Best Musical, everyone involved with the show at any level feels the need to get on stage, which, in itself, takes 3 minutes.

Anyways.

I have the list of the nominees and winners from Playbill.com, as if you haven't already seen them. Just act surprised.

Names denoted with a * are the winners.

The 2010 Tony Awards for Lifetime Achievement in the Theatre were presented to playwright and director Alan Ayckbourn, and Tony Award-winning actress Marian Seldes.

The recipient of the Isabelle Stevenson Award is Tony Award winner David Hyde Pierce. The Isabelle Stevenson Award recognizes an individual from the theatre community "who has made a substantial contribution of volunteered time and effort on behalf of one or more humanitarian, social service or charitable organizations, regardless of whether such organizations relate to the theatre.

This year's Tony Honors are presented to The Alliance of Resident Theatres New York, B.H. Barry and BC/EFA executive director Tom Viola.

The Eugene O'Neill Theater Center in Waterford, CT, is the recipient of the 2010 Tony Award for Regional Theatre.




Congratulations to all, and we will see you next year, where hopefully, they can stick to a schedule.

Actor Q&A: James Biernatowski

Alright, so as to avoid hateful theatre queens leaving stupid comments, I've disabled them. Sorry, but I want this blog to be fun, and I have no patience for rudeness.

ONWARDS.

Okay so James Biernatowski is Playing Cosmo in Cockpit's "Singin in the Rain" and I suggest you all go! I caught him in Chicago playing Mary Sunshine at PFT a few seasons ago, and he was FABULOUS. So be sure not to miss the show!

Name: James Patrick Biernatowski

Age: 23

Most Recent Show: Currently "Singin' in the Rain" at Cockpit in Court

Next Show: CHICAGO (Mary Sunshine) for the Frederick Towne Players followed by SWEENEY TODD at Vagabonds

Dream Roles: Albin/Zaza in La Cage aux Folles, Bobby in Crazy for You, The Emcee in Cabaret (All shows I have done, just not those roles)

Favorite Shows That You've Performed in: Love! Valour! Compassion!, Crazy for You, La Cage Aux Folles. The Full Monty

Worst onstage mishap: NONE! I am a perfectionist! Actually, the one mishap that happened to a lot of us during "La Cage" was in the Can-Can. When we did the jump splits (aka Cooter Slams) our shoes often flung into the audience and hit people

Any parting comments: 1. Come and see Singin' in the Rain. 2. Support ALL local community theatre 3. Don't ever stand in my light


Thanks, James! Can't wait to see the show. Break legs figuratively, not literally, as you lots of tap dancing to do.

Rules, because anarchy is overrated

Ok, y'all. On a more serious note, I need to put something out there right now. I went back and noticed a comment that I didn't really want to see, but knew that I'd run into eventually.

This blog was created as a place to promote and talk about theatre-related stuff in MD. Unfortunately, like everything else involving theatre, bitter people with nothing better to do with their time felt the need to be rude and offensive.

If you feel the need to post comments that are hateful, do it on the wall of your parent's basement, where you most likely still live. Theatre is supposed to be fun for everyone, and for some reason, some MD Theatre folk have this sense of "Next Stop Broadway" which, I hate to be the one to inform you of, is not the case. So please, for your sake, get another hobby and lighten up.

Actor Q&A: Elisabeth Johnson

Ok so in my last post about 10 minutes ago I said that I had some more Q&A things coming up next week. Then, I decided that since this is MY blog where I do WHATEVER I want, I'm posting some now. So there.

Anyways, Elisabeth Johnson, who just finished playing Sharpay Evans in PFT's High School Musical (rather fabulously, if I might add) sent her Q&A back to me after what I'm sure was a stressful final week. Happy Summer, Ms. Johnson. Without further chattering on my part:

Name: Elisabeth Haley Johnson

Age: Currently, I'm sixteen. Almost seventeen!

Most Recent Show: High School Musical at Phoenix Festival Theater playing Sharpay Evans.

Next Show: After taking the summer off, my next show will be Peter Pan at John Carroll.

Dream Roles: AH! Love this question. I have a few. First and foremost, Eva Peron in Evita. I watched the movie when I was six and started singing her songs then; She's such a strong character. Also, the Narrator in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. When I was about thirteen, I had the opportunity to perform in the Children's Choir when it was touring in 07. That was a great experience. Lastly, Mimi in RENT. That musical holds a special spot in my heart.

Favorite Shows That You've Performed in: This is a really tough question to answer. I think it would have to be either Sharpay or Annie. You know, Annie's so sweet, and when I performed it at Tidewater Players in Havre de Grace, we had such an outstanding cast. That being said, shooting death stares and talking down to people can be just (if not more) fun! Playing the mean girl is fun. People tell me "You're really good at playing the (insert cuss word here)" It makes me laugh because I'm really not a mean person.

Worst onstage mishap: Oh, this wasn't funny then but now I think about it and I cannot help but laugh. During the final dress for High School Musical, there was a scene where I was in the Chemistry Lab. It was dark when we came on. I sat in the very back of the "classroom", flush up against the curtains. I had moved my chair because it was too close to my friend Conor's. I went to place my bag next to the chair and sit down, however I stepped back for some reason. I completely missed the platform and fell off the back of the set! Not only did I hit my head then, but when I fell the heel of my stiletto's hooked the strap of my bag, which pulled the chair on the platform along with it. Needless to say, the chair came out of nowhere and knocked me flat. Talk about pain. We had a preview audience; I was mortified! After that, I earned the nickname "Topples."

There you have it folks, an Eva Peron/Mimi in the making! Thanks again for filling this out Elisabeth! Best of luck with Peter Pan, and enjoy your summer off!

-OG

Tony Night!

Hopefully the new layout/background are working. Knowing my luck with technology, they aren't.

Well, folks, tonight is the Tony Awards. Nothing looks like it will be too exciting/groundbreaking, but as theatre folk we are kind of obligated to sit through it anyways. Depending on how exciting it is, I might actually live blog on here, but who knows!

Also, I have next to NO e-mails about upcoming auditions or productions, so if you want them to be seen on here, let me know!

I have some more actor Q&A things coming your way next week as well.

Until then,

OG

Say Whaaa?

Random Update...but...Ricky Martin as Che in the Broadway Revival of Evita? Huh?

...discuss.

Actor Q&A: Ryan DeVoe

HEY EVERYONE!

Excited? I hope so. So a little while back, I was talking about maybe having local actors fill out a fun little theatre questionnaire, sort of like the "Cue and A" feature from Playbill. Luckily enough, one of my new favorites, Ryan DeVoe, from the cast of PFT's High School Musical was nice enough to be the first to fill it out! Hopefully I can get Elisabeth Johnson to do the same ASAP! So, all you actors in the area, don't be surprised if I get in touch about being a part of the blog!

Here we go!

Name: Ryan DeVoe (or LaShanta'via, whichever you prefer)

Age: How old do I look?

Most Recent Show: Playing Ryan Evans inHigh School Musical at Phoenix Festival Theatre!

Next Show: Curtains at Cockpit in Court! I've only been to a few rehearsals, but this cast is pretty awesome, so don't miss it!

Dream Roles: This is always fun to answer. I'd love to play Bobby in Company some day, and minus 75 pounds I'd love to be the Emcee in Cabaret. I'm a big fan of Henry in Next to Normal and Claude in Hair, both of which would be so amazing to do. I'm also told that I resemble Jennnifer Hudson, so Effie, obviously.

Favorite Shows That You've Performed in: Most recently, I play Mark in the DC/MD Premiere of RENT with Winterslane, which was a near perfect experience. Amazing director and creative team, a cast to die for, and I fell in love with DC while I was at it. Also, I have a ton of memories from doing the area premiere of "bare" a few years back. I wish I could go back to that time and do lots of things differently, which only some of my cast members will understand :) Also, 42nd Street, because I LOVE old fashioned, campy musicals with lots of tap dance.

Worst onstage mishap: In Tom Sawyer: The Musical (Yes, there is a musical, which I think is amazing and underrated, but I digress), I performed barefoot the entire time, and during a backstage crossover, managed to give myself a pretty big gash on my foot, so I came back onstage bleeding all over the place during the scene where Tom and Huck sign an oath in blood. Guess what I did?

Any parting comments: Of course! Come see Curtains! Also, thanks for starting this blog and giving this awesome theatre community a new hub on the web for all things stage related!

Well, folks, do we like this new feature? Yes? No? Get back to me!

Press Release: Cockpit in Court

Cockpit in Court Summer Theatre Promises to Shine in its 38th Season
“Singin’ in the Rain,” “Daddy’s Dyin’ … Who’s Got the Will,” “Snow White,” “Curtains, the Musical Mystery Whodunit,” and “Angel Street” (Gaslight)

Baltimore County, Md. – Musical comedies have always been Cockpit in Court Summer Theatre’s strong suit and this summer’s opener promises not to disappoint.

"Singin' in the Rain" opens Cockpit's season June 18 at CCBC Essex.

The American Film Institute’s No. 1 rated Musical of All Time, “Singin’ in the Rain,” is a play based on the MGM film starring Gene Kelly. It is a light-hearted comedy chronicling the transition of Hollywood films from silent pictures to “talkies.”

Jimmy Biernatowski of Harford County as Cosmo Brown (left), Jessica Schaub Phillips of White Marsh as Kathy Seldon and Joseph Murphy of Harford County, as Don Lockwood headline the ensemble cast. James Hunnicutt, again at the helm as Cockpit in Court’s Artistic Director, dons his director’s visor for this season opener.

“Singin’ in the Rain” runs 8 p.m. June 18, 19, 25 and 26 and July 1, 2 and 3 with Sunday matinees at 3 p.m. June 20, 27 and July 4. All performances are on the Mainstage of the B Building Theatre at CCBC Essex, 7201 Rossville Boulevard. Tickets ($18 general admission, $16 for seniors (60+) and $12 for children 12 years and under) are available from the CCBC Box Office at 443-840-ARTS or online at www.ccbcmd.edu/arts.

Cockpit’s Cabaret Theatre goes for laughs with “Daddy’s Dyin' … Who’s got the Will?” This farcical look at a dysfunctional Texas family in search of a misplaced will proves the adage that if you didn’t laugh, you would cry. Joey Hellman directs this Del Shores play.

Laughter abounds with "Daddy's Dyin' ... Whos Got the Will?" opening on June 25 in the Cabaret Theatre.

Denis L. Latkowski of Perry Hall, Md. plays “Daddy” (Buford) [clockwise from the left], Janise K. Whelan of East Baltimore, Md. [left], is cast as “Sara Lee,” Mark Macaluso of Hamilton, plays “Harmony” and Jennifer Skarzinski of Parkville, Md., is cast as “Evalita.”

“Daddy’s Dyin' … Who’s got the Will?” runs 8 p.m. June 25, 26, July 2, 3 and 3 p.m. June 27 and July 4 in the Cabaret Theatre on the second floor of the B Building at CCBC Essex, 7201 Rossville Boulevard. Tickets are $15 general admission and $15 for seniors (60+) and are available through the CCBC Box Office at 443-840-ARTS or online at www.ccbcmd.edu/arts.

Cockpit in Court Summer Theatre presents with the Royal Court Jester’s Young Peoples Theatre production of “Snow White” will run 11 a.m. July 13, 14 and 15, 3 p.m. July 11, 17 and 18 and 7 p.m. July 9, 10, 16 and 17 in the J Building Lecture Hall. Tickets are $8 for all seats and are available through the CCBC Box Office at 443-840-ARTS or online at www.ccbcmd.edu/arts.

“Curtains, the Musical Mystery Whodunit,” will be performed July 23 through Aug. 8 on the Mainstage of the B Building and “Angel Street (Gaslight)” runs July 30 through August 8 in the Cabaret Theatre, second floor of the B Building.

For tickets or information about Cockpit in Court Summer Theatre productions contact the CCBC Box Office at 443-840-ARTS or go online to www.ccbcmd.edu/arts. Season tickets for Cockpit in Court Summer Theatre ($56 for adults [4 plays] or $48 for seniors [4 plays]) are still available.

Also, Congrats to the cast of High School Musical on a great run! Can't wait for Cockpit!

HSM: Revisited

Good morning, starshines.

So, I went back to PFT's outstanding production of "High School Musical" last night and loved it even more than I did last weekend. I will tell you now that if you want to see it, get there today, since the final show on Sunday has sold out, according to the box office.

The cast really hit their stride last night, and the energy being shot off that stage was incredible. The audience was having a fantastic time! Tyler Fritz (Troy Bolton) really held his own last night. The vocals were more blended and he seemed more stable in the role. It was a huge improvement over last weekend, and his performance overall seemed more grounded. Bravo, Tyler. Lexie Wohlfort as Gabriella Montez continues to impress with stellar vocals and acting, but you all knew that already! Once again, the show completely belongs to Elisabeth Johnson and Ryan DeVoe, even more so than last weekend. Elisabeth was extra catty and spot-on with her vocals and acting last night. She prances about the stage like it is her personal space that the other "plebians" are merely allowed to exist in, and her general disregard for other students is brilliant. Ryan takes the comedy factor to new heights, keeping the audience dying to hear what will come out of his mouth next. His improv skills are second to none, and last night they were on full display. With quips about Sharpay's interesting outfits and a jab at everyone's favorite Canadian, Justin Bieber, DeVoe stole the show. Big congratulations to Elisabeth and Ryan!

Once again, I discovered more ensemble standouts last night. Big props to the trio of students with odd hobbies in "Status Quo"! Ben Getz, Daniel Saunders and Tigga Smaller worked their solos with great voices and amazing energy. The crowd especially loved Ms.Smaller as Martha, the nerdy bookworm turned hip hop jammer! Charis Bartenslager is one of the skater types who really stood out in detention with her 5-minute long impression of an earth worm slowly making her way across the stage. Bravo on your patience, Charis.

Alright people, GO SEE THIS SHOW. Your last chance is Today! (Saturday) The performances are at 3 and 8 p.m. and since Sunday is now sold out, it will be your last chance to see this inspiring cast. Tickets can be purchased at HCC at the Chesapeake Theatre box office or by calling ahead to 443-412-2211. Bravo to them!

Yours,

OG
