On Stage This Afternoon - "Alexander"

So are you tired of me talking about Alexander, Who's Not Not Not Not Not Not Going to Move?

I know the ol' Tri-State Theatre blog has had something of a one-track mind lately, but I'm just so proud of the great job the cast and crew is doing on the show.

They wrapped up their second performance last night - which just leaves five to go, including next Thursday's special school performance (and there are still some seats available for that - call 304-736-4366 for more information).

(This photo shows Alexander's brothers, Anthony (Justin Hesson) and Nick (Drew Goodall) teasing their brother.)

It's a small show and not well known - the title character is more famous for Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day - but it's a funny, fast-paced show, with lots of fun songs and dances, loads of laughs and a sweet message to share. It's a blast for young theater-goers, but adults will find a lot to enjoy in there, too.

You have one more chance to catch it this weekend - there's one more show this afternoon at 2:30 p.m. at the refurbished Jeslyn Theater in downtown Huntington (which is the old Camelot Theater, where I saw countless movies).

Since I directed the show (along with a terrific directing team), I'm naturally prejudiced - but it's a show I'm sure you'll enjoy!

So drop by today or next weekend and enjoy a fresh look at "Alexander." And bring a friend!
