Words from behind the scenes at the Alabama Shakespeare Festival. A glimpse into the day to day of producing world class theatre in Montgomery, Alabama.
I know, I know, updates have been getting farther apart and it seems like we've run out of stories. That, my friends, is an incorrect assumption.
We're hitting the end of the season now with West Side Story closing this Sunday at 2:00 (we're going to miss you guys!) and looking forward to the new season beginning in a month with 3 Mo' Divas kicking it off! In the meantime, though, we're working on a new series of articles to really give the inside look to this theatre.
We're charting a new course and are going to have a new topic everyday. So if your interest is costumes, set building, acting, or my favorite, marketing, then you'll know when to check back each day and see what our awesome submitters have whipped up.
I wanted to put up a few reminders about our last few weeks in this season. Here we go!
We're in the last week of West Side Story performances! So if you haven't seen the show yet you need to hurry because it won't be here after August 24th!
Want something a little different? Scot Bruce will be here next Monday, August 18th, with his amazing tribute to Elvis, the king of Rock and Roll. Tickets are flying and we don't have too many left for this awesome show. Act fast or you'll miss out on a night of great music and fun!
Our season closes on August 24th, but that doesn't mean the fun has to stop. Emerge Montgomery, our city's premier young professional party network, is coming to the Alabama Shakespeare Festival on Tuesday August 26th. Come join the hot, young, savvy up and coming professionals of Montgomery for a night of fun! We've got blues guitarist Lucky playing, food served up by some of Carrabba's finest servers, and more. You have to RSVP, so consider this your official invite to the party. Call 334-271-5336 to RSVP
I hope everyone has a blast this weekend and, as always, I'll see you at the theatre!
Our season is going to be a hit right out of the gate this year all thanks to a little show called 3 Mo' Divas.
How many of you have heard of the show called 3 Mo' Tenors? It was and still is a blockbuster hit with theatre audiences everywhere. After their success we all knew it wouldn't be long before they would develop a show featuring the talents of three women whose range extends through multiple styles and centuries of music. And thus was born the amazing show 3 Mo' Divas.
This show features three Divas (using the original meaning of "goddess" or a woman who has rare and outstanding talent in opera or other extensive musical arenas) who have been classically trained in the major music styles of the past 400 years. The show itself is reminiscent of a musical concert and will keep you engaged throughout the performance and singing the songs the next day. For more information on the show, check out their website here and see what they're all about. Tickets are on sale right now and are flying out of the box office for this amazing celebration of women and music. Call 1-800-841-4273 or visit www.asf.net for more information on how to order tickets.
Why, you may ask, do we have a large picture of a girl with the French flag and "Summer 2009" across the top? The answer would be because we have been granted the amazing opportunity as a regional theatre to produce Les Miserables! This show has taken the world by storm and is set to shake the foundations of Montgomery, Alabama with its beautiful music and epic story. But the only way to purchase advance tickets to this amazing show is by getting a subscription. What are our subscription, you may ask? Well, they're pretty much broken down like this:
Create Your Own 4, 5, or 6 vouchers good for our major plays in the upcoming season (not good for our musicals, MFA programs, or Bear Country.)
Premium Tickets to the majority of the season, 7 shows in all, including Les Miz.
Festival Pass Tickets to our Rep season (Othello, The Comedy of Errors, and The Three Musketeers) and also Les Miz.
Those are our major subscriptions and they can be made to fit any schedule or price range. Call the box office at 1-800-841-4273 to learn how you can subscribe to our amazing season this year.
