Re: Weekend Plans

It's been in the 70s all week here.

I'm seeing a musical on Sunday. And Monday is my mom's birthday.

Aw, so lucky! What musical are you going to see?

Re: Weekend Plans

[ginainthekingsroad]

The Golden Apple. Which basically nobody's ever heard of! There's this group out here that does staged readings (actors carrying scripts/scores) for one-night-only performances of weird obscure musicals.

Re: Weekend Plans

Ah! Looks like it will be fun at least. Though, I don't have much experience with staged readings.

How involved a staged reading gets depends on the company and the director putting on that specific show. Musical Theatre Guild usually has fairly fully-realized staging, an 8+ piece orchestra, costumes (especially for the leads), and even some choreography. Which is impressive for 3 days of rehearsal!

I see more staged readings than the average theatre-goer, because another local theatre company does them several times a year. Basically they put on a little festival and do 2 performances each of 3-5 different plays. And from their experience doing those productions with minimal staging, that's how they'll decide what plays they'll do as full productions in upcoming seasons.

It also gives them a chance to put on things that will draw a dedicated theatre audience for 1-2 performances, but are too obscure to give a full run (Aphra Behn's "The Lucky Chance") or are otherwise too unusual to sustain a full run (this was how I saw Armin Shimerman do an unabridged "Richard III").
