As August winds down, you'll notice that the local community theatre scene is very quiet. That's because most groups are spending their time running rehearsals right now, or getting ready to start rehearsals.
For example, over at Fifth Avenue Theatre my pal Clint McElroy is directing the cast of the Agatha Christie murder mystery, And Then There Were None, which will take the stage at City Hall in October.
Today's the first day of class at Marshall University, so the Dept. of Theatre (presumably) haven't even had auditions for their next show - though it'll no doubt happen soon.
At ARTS, they're working on Clue, The Musical, which runs in October.
And First Stage Theatre Company just had the parent's meeting for its fall show, Peter Pan - and what a mob scene that was! Rehearsals will soon follow.
No doubt other groups in our area are also hard at work on their upcoming shows. So the question is, what's the "State" of community theatre in our area? That's the topic of tomorrow's post.
