alumni update, fall cast???

Hey all,

email from Sara Suginaka -- she has a class that meets Wednesdays at 7pm at Boston College -- no theater this fall:( Let's hope her schedule clears up and she can use her tremendous gifts again soon!

email from Kat Riley, she's in town with an improv group, looking to do a workshop @ JM. More on this later. . .

Holly Johnson is doing the lighting design TA with me. She'll get a phenomenal independent study and a boatload of skills. Still need someone 2nd semester.

email from Sarah Boutcher -- she's ready to pass VITAL information about assistant directing with an impossible director. Decker will forward any interested names to her.

Saw Brandon Button at the theater teacher conference today (with PRESIDENT NIELAND!). St. Olaf is going well, Urinetown is this fall (he's not in it), he's going to major in Elem. Ed, with focus on Theater. He'll let us know of his next show. Also heard Joe Dowling, then later toured the new Guthrie with Swegarden.

Note Arij's carpooling plan for CJ's show below.

Who has the scoop on the RCTC show with Ethan and Alexis? Show, dates, roles, background, gossip?

oh, yeah, and the MOST IMPORTANT!!! Is a cast list posted?

No cast list as of yet. Monday's the day, according to Mrs. Cassman. We're all on pins and needles waiting!

It's nice to hear what all our alumni are up to. Keep us posted when you hear more!

RCTC THEATRE UPDATE:
Play: Reckless
Dates and Time: Oct 26-28, Nov 2-4. 8:00pm at Hill Theatre.
Rachel - Sam Goerss
Tom/Man in Ski Mask/Tom Jr. - Ethan Savage
Lloyd - Alexi Paizis
(that's all the JMers in the play, in the top 3 spots, booyah)
Pooty - Ashley Dunkleberger
And many other very important roles.

Plot: Incessantly happy Rachel is informed by her husband Tom that he has hired a hitman to kill her. She flees into the wintery night and befriends Lloyd, and together they go meet Pooty, a paraplegic who lives with Lloyd. Lots of crazy stuff happens. Hilarious/touching/creepy. You have to see the rest for yourself.

This may sound a little bit boring at first glance, but this play is CRAZY. If I had to describe it in a word, it would be "schizophrenic." It's very surreal and dream-like. Very cool. GO SEE IT.
