We start at the beginning

It's a very nice place to start!  No, we aren't doing that show...RENT begins with a lease.  Sign your life away and commit to the process, commit to the steps.  I think we might be on an 8th floor walk-up!  There are a lot of details and we are immersed and it is wonderful.  In many ways, like the new adventure of renting your first apartment.  You don't know what to expect but every day, every step, you learn more about yourself, about your roommates and about life.

This journey is going to be amazing, in the scope of DLO, in the scope of musical interpretation and in the scope, most importantly, of Danville.  We are breaking barriers, changing procedures, making nearly every aspect of the show different from any other show DLO has produced.

I can't wait to see the results.  They are going to amaze.  We have had a few team meetings getting ready.  Auditions are only one week away.  Today, we feast!  A peasant's feast...look it up.  Probably the best kind, no showing off, no bragging, just sharing with friends what you have to offer.  As my friend the director would say...organic.

My part of all of this-many and varied, but the best part, I get to see the show over and over and over.  From the sound booth.  I get to listen to the music, listen to the heart of the show, see the hidden and overt meanings, watch the process and witness the change.  I can't wait to share with you and share RENT with Danville.  It's going to rock in more ways than one!

  1. As the Stage Manager of this show---I am with you all the way, Jesse & Jenny. And I get to be at the rehearsals, and watch the process come together, and somedays fall apart, but that is PART OF the process to create something wonderful, and to create change! Can't wait for us to get started!
