Getting into character

Finally!! Here I am in partial gypsy outfit, sans wild gypsy wig, headpiece, vest, shawl and belt. Last night's rehearsal was like a new experience with costumes involved (wigs and makeup will be added on Tuesday night.) It's amazing how much room they take up on stage when everyone is wearing one! But they really do help you get your mind right for the character you're playing. I will post more pictures and observations from last night later.

This morning's Triad Arts Up Close with David Ford on WFDD radio (88.5) featured Part I of David's interview with principals Jill Gardner and Mark Walters! If you missed it like I did, don't despair. Just turn on your speakers and go to http://wfdd.org/tauc.php/ts1285605373, click on the Listen button and there you have it. It's a great spot. Part II will be aired on Triad Arts Weekend on Friday (opening day!) at 1:30 pm. In case you miss it, that interview will also be available on WFDD's website after it airs.
