Love, love, love this show and I am so excited to be directing it in the spring.  One question...for now at least... for those of you who have done this show... did you use a live actor backstage for the DJ or did you record it?  How did that work for ya?  (Sheesh, now I sound like Dr. Phil!)

Have been the recorded voice for the DJ twice, almost a third time, but the show was cancelled for technical problems.

First two times were on tape, this last I actually did a CD, but...

OH my Gosh! That is such a great idea.  I have a theatre friend who is also a DJ at the radio station.  What was I thinking?  Why didn't I think of this.  (Smacks self on forehead)  I'm gonna see if he'll do it for me.  Thanks Kathy S.!

Dear Slicksister,

Now, now...  Forehead smacking isn't good for you!  I am really proud of how our show turned out, so if you want to see our photos of our show, go to http://www.iowariverplayers.org/past.html 

It?s great to see your site updated again!
The mise en scene depicted in your photos is fantastic!
What is great is the fact it is not a shop style hairdressing salon, but is an extension of an ordinary house, converted to accommodate a shop.
The aspects of a utilising the veranda & depicting the weather board of the building is a great achievement indeed.
I know I have related this story before to you, of my previous involvement with this production, which did tend to bring out of the wood work the women?s liberation front.
To the point of banning all male members from the theatre during the 3 months rehearsals period.
I was asked to remotely design the set & lighting for them & do all the basic set building & rigging the lights. Without actually being allowed to be involved with the rehearsal/production process what so ever.
Our little band of 3 mere males involved, thought it was hilarious.
The theatre was in a small town in the south west of the state & wasn?t considered weird but normal & more typical of their idea of theatre anyway!
We had to communicate via phone & instruct each of the crew of the best way to achieve things in the production, it was pathetic - but we went a long with their little game!
When it came to the tech rehearsals, they relented & requested our attendance only during the day time, as they had major problems.
When I seen the set I nearly walked out thewn, because although they had my model, plans & we had even put up the flats in place.
They had completely missed the concept of a house with an added extension of a salon. They had  converted it to a full blown shop & even added a shop window,
Not only but also, they had painted everything stark white. They didn?t appreciate my comment of having to supply sun glasses to all the punters as they came in!
What we should have done is left right then, but ego took over & stupidly we didn?t!
After replacing the shop window & toning down the white walls with a light blueish scumble wash & matched in the set dressing.
I explained to them the 60/30/10 principal & we left them to it.
Being a small town the males of the village stayed away in droves. For some reason or other?
