SharksOrinally posted on Friday, January 15, 2010One of my guilty pleasures is Project Runway. I just love Timothy Gunn swanning about his NY Fashion Ave workroom pouting “Designers... how are you doing? Work with me. “ .... His unctuous voice dripping concern.... And then what’s her name, Heidi Nazi Klum, with her litte ego- cutting code line "You’re out, Auf Weindersehen”. My first week at

Waiting for TakeoffOriginally Posted on January 4th, 2010Jan 4th. Monday night on the plane. Everything is so surreal. Richard and I have spent four days of frantic scrambling thinking I wasn’t going to be allowed on tonight’s flight. The problem: My passport says “Paula Plum Snee”, my ticket, “Paula Plum.” . Richard spends hours on the phone with extraordinarily polite Indians named Jerry/Bob/

Keep checking back for hilarious posts from her Parisian blog, French Plum! Here's a little history on the wonderful Paula Plum: Paula Plum has been one of Boston leading actresses for three decades,

Wassup [bostossers]-Load-in is a period of a few days were the crew sets up the theatre to look like the designers evisioned. The set gets brought in and assembled. The lights get hung. Sound and video equipment set up. Through the state of the art camera phone technology, I documented tech day-by-day.

Aloha [bostossers]-I am in the middle of the second of two "ten out of twelves". That means we have a tech rehearsal for 10 out of the 12 hours everyone is called for. The cast was called at 11am, had a dinner break from 4-6, and we finish at 11pm. Throughout the tech process, we incorporate all of the technical aspects into the show. That means sets, costumes, lighting, and in the case of

This morning members of the cast of [title of show] woke up early and performed live on the radio on WERS's Standing Room Only. After a brief rehearsal in the studio, they went on air at 11am. Jordan Ahnquist (Jeff) and Joe Lanza (Hunter) sang "Two Nobody's in New York" and "Part of It All" while Amy Barker (Heidi) sang "Way Back to Then".I hope some of you got to listen to this fabulous cast

Helló [bostossers]-Yesterday afternoon we had another production meeting for [title of show]. These meetings are a way for all the designers to get together with the director to talk about their designs and work through problems they are having.So much of theatrical design relies on the other design in the show. All the elements of design (sets, lights, costumes, props, projections, sound, etc)

Guten Tag [bostossers]-Over the next few entries I am going to introduce everyone to the cast through a questionnaire I made up (and lovingly "borrowed" from Proust and James Lipton). They are all in the process of answering it, but our Production Stage Manager Victoria Coady decided she wanted to play as well and sent me her answers. She convinced me to answer it as well, so I am combining

Bonjour my [bostossers]!Thanks to the beauty of the internet, I have gotten in touch with the mexcellent creators/original cast of [title of show]. They are all incredibly sweet and are really excited about our production (as well as the other four productions going on around the country).

Hola tossers-We have returned from our Christmas hiatus and back to blocking the show.We are only a few scenes away from having the entire show blocked and choreographed (Of course half of that will probably be changed between now and opening night, but it is there!). It has been a blast watching these actors find the essence of their characters that already exist, while imposing so much of

Greetings [tos]sers-We have completed one full week of rehearsals and are now on a week long hiatus for Christmas. Rehearsals start up again on Monday, but this break is a wonderful opportunity for everyone to let things settle in and really start thinking about the show. The actors now have a week to sit down and start memorizing their music and lines which is something that rarely happens in

Hello again Boston [tossers]-The other night the cast of [title of show] took a break out of their music rehearsal to pose for publicity photos. Also known as pre-production (or pre-pro) shots, these photos are used for any publicity purposes before the show opens and we have real production photos. While these photos are not shot on the actual set of the show, or use costumes that probably

1 rehearsal down, many more to go. Like I said earlier today in my post, tonight was the first rehearsal/Meet & Greet. Following an Actors Equity meeting at 6 (Before every show starts rehearsals, all of the union actors/stage managers have a meeting with only themselves to go over some business activities, pick a deputy, etc), we all gathered together at 6:30.

Hi y'all!Today is the day! Day 1 of rehearsals. Tonight is our "meet & greet" where everyone in the cast and production team gets together to meet each other. The Meet & Greet usually also includes a talk by the director (Paul Daigneault) about his ideas for the show and plans he has, as well as design presentations by all the designers. I personally am most excited to see what our fabulous

While searching youtube tonight, I found a few videos that might answer your question, "What Is [title of show]?"The first is a video made by the creators/original cast entitled, you guessed it, "What is Title of Show?" I will leave it at that and let the video speak for itself...Next I wanted to give you a little taste of the music in the show. This is a clip of Heidi Blickenstaff singing "A
