Some Great Summer News from Theatre VCU

Let's start with the front page story in the Richmond Times Dispatch!

Morgan in last year's Avenue Q

Morgan Meadows has won a $100,000 voice-over contract with Virginia Beach-based Studio Center in the company's first Next Great Voice Talent competition.

Morgan as the mean old Mrs. Thistletwat

I love her quote from the article: "I flipped out," Meadows said of receiving the phone call informing her that she'd won. "I was jumping up and down and crying (and) I was all alone in my aprtment. I must have looked like a fool." 

Morgan was also on WRIC (Richmond Channel 8) this morning.

Congratulations Morgan!!

AND BEFORE IT IS ANCIENT NEWS:

The Bloginator heard from Luke Cresson and his summer gig-

The Charlotte Observer wrote this great review of Central Piedmont Community College's summer production of Wait Until Dark and mentions Luke's light design: "Luke Cresson’s lighting design helps there: For once, darkness onstage really is dark, and the sudden appearance of a small light can be startling."

Great work Luke!!
