Week 5: Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a show!!!!Posted by brian on Wednesday, July 16, 2008 11:50am (PST) This past week we had the previews and opening of all 3 shows. Can I just tell you how relieved I am that Richard III came together and became a cohesive show? Don’t get me wrong, I am glad Midsummer and Cambio came together, but being ASM, I put extra pressure on myself to get Richard going. And … 
Break a Leg!Posted by catherine on Thursday, July 10, 2008 2:39pm (PST) It’s here – we’re opening our preview performances tonight, so our 2008 season is officially open! This funny sentiment is something I’m hearing a lot today, so I looked up where the theatre phrase to wish people luck came from, and what do you know, it originates back to Shakespeare’s day a…
Random BlogPosted by brian on Tuesday, July 8, 2008 4:04pm (PST) At the BBQ on Friday, Catherine and I started kind of a contest to see who could post the most blogs by the end of the season. As of now I’m up to 5. I’m going to win this!...
Weeks 3 and 4: So this is my wit’s endPosted by brian on Tuesday, July 8, 2008 4:03pm (PST) Now you have to understand, I usually am really good at handling stress. I found out this week that I am not as good as I thought I was. We started tech week this week: The work is not hard for me, in fact I find myself almost enjoying taking care of and setting out all the props. I put too much …
Week 2: Highs and LowsPosted by brian on Thursday, June 26, 2008 2:47pm (PST) So I have now concluded my second week up here at the Lake. Basically my life right now is wake up at 9-9:30, do my morning routine (shower, brush teeth, etc), and get to rehearsal by 10. I am at rehearsal until 6pm with an hour lunch break from 1:30 to 2:30pm. Then I am free to go about my busi…
Feel like a quick escape to another world?Posted by catherine on Saturday, June 21, 2008 7:19pm (PST) This week has been extremely rewarding, we are starting to see the shows come to life with another little piece falling into place each day. On Wednesday some of our cast members traveled to Reno to take part in a photo shoot for Rlife Magazine’s July issue. It was a wonderful opportunity for …
Week 1: Into the FirePosted by brian on Wednesday, June 18, 2008 12:05am (PST) Well “Fire” isn’t exactly the right term. This week I started my PA duties up in Lake Tahoe. I am the Assistant Stage Manager (ASM) for Richard III, so most of my energy is focused on that play, but I’ll start at the beginning. I arrived late Monday night, so my first real day Tuesday, an…
A review of work in the UNR Scene ShopPosted by brian on Wednesday, June 18, 2008 12:03am (PST) So this is my first blog that I am posting, obviously, and as such I decided that I should go over the work that I did before I came up to Reno. For the first month of my internship I worked at the scene shop at UNR. These few weeks were informative, education, but full of test and trials for me….

Sex in the City and Shakespeare?Posted by catherine on Sunday, June 8, 2008 12:06pm (PST) We know Shakespeare’s work is still very relevant to modern day society, that’s why his literature is still taught to our children and why it is some of the most produced theatre in the world. The themes of Shakespeare’s plays center around human nature and emotion – the stories of love, jealousy,...
UNR intern- Just to catch you up...Posted by lynn on Friday, May 23, 2008 7:34pm (PST) Well, hello!

Jan's Blog #2: Historical SettingsPosted by jan on Sunday, April 20, 2008 9:10pm (PST) Hello, Bugjune— In answer to your question, nooooooooo, our productions will NOT always feature modern settings! In fact, in every LTSF season, you will be able to count on at least one of our shows being set in traditional historical fashion. You’re not alone in loving period costumes; in m…
