The Gnadiges Fraulein: A One-Act by Tennessee Williams Tonight - Friday!


FREEATER alert! 
Come out come out wherever you are!

The Gnadiges Fraulein is opening TONIGHT Wednesday, March 9th! It's a bizarre romp into slapstick tragedy, featuring witty dialogue, props, costumes and even an awkward bird named Sebastian. What more could you really want?

Performances will be at 8pm Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, and since the shows run about one hour from start to finish you'll have time for additional evening events and still be in bed by eleven!  
Whatta deal! 
 
8:00 Shafer Street Playhouse FREE!!

Photo Ops # 2 - the night of the Design Tech CeremonyA


Cody and Becky waitng for the SETC Design/Tech Award Ceremony to begin.
I take complete responsibility for this photo. In the first shot they were simply smiling - looking every inch, the perfect college student. I think all I said was "Attitude please." And this is what I got. YES, Theatre VCU
Some of our favorite people.
Ron Keller, Maura Cravey, and the Lou Szari... ready for a great night.
Jasmine and Sam looking at some award winning work perhaps?...
Rows and rows of Theatre VCU support. See that waving arm? That's Lou way back there.




Next Blog: Photos of the winners!

Congratulations to Dr. T!!

Photo Ops SETC #1 - Getting there, getting set up, first day.

Driving down to Atlanta - a van load of Theatre VCUers - that's Blair Russell taking the photo, Johnny K grimacing on the next bench. Look carefully, isn't that Tucker napping in the back against the window?

Helpers in the booth. Nicole sneaking a sandwich before another workshop. Andy who saved the day multiple times, and made the TV work. Thank you Andy!
Matt A. was a huge help answering questions, passing out brochures like a pro. We had a very busy booth, and Matt made us look good.
Love the grip he has on Blair's tie!



What a handsome group. The first day of SETC - Mackenzie, Mac, Becca & Ron.
See how fresh everyone looks! Trust me, it didn't last.
