...where no light shall shine on the sight of me, and there, I shall die.
One Hundred and Six hours of rehearsal.
Twenty-Two performances
Twenty hours putting on make-up
Fifteen hours taking off make-up
Two Hundred and Twenty temporary tattoos
Ten hours of fight call
Fourty-Four Ibuprofen tablets.
One package coughdrops
Nine dead characters
One strange performance where the stage monitor apparently stared playing the soundtrack of a porn movie.
Eight actors who impressed and inspired even in my darkest moments
One Stage Manager who handled a lot, and still managed to give a beat-up creature a ride home
One Director who gave us the chance, and trusted us all the way
Thank you to the cast; Ed Krystosek, Sandy Elias, David Fink, Evan Johnson, Lindsey Falls, Jennifer T. Grubb,Catherine Gillsepie, Daniel Pass, and Eustace Allen.
Thank you to our designers; Ian Anthony, Devin Caroll, Tom Kieffer, Robert Kuper, David Yondorf, and Ray Toler
Thank you to our Stage Manager; Norine McGrath
Than you to our Director; Terry McCabe
I'll miss the show, I'll miss the people, and I'll miss The Creature, but I'm ready to be away from the make-up, and the toll the role took on me, physically.
Bless you all, and thank you all.
**ADDENDUM**
I am completely ashamed of myself that I forgot to mention our lovely playwright Bo List, who crafted a lovely adaptation of Shelly's novel. Thank you for the words, good sir.
