Since I kept you waiting for so long, I’m going to leave you with two awesome photo sets from my night of set construction for my non-profit CAT Theatre. Again, I have to thank Stephanie for taking the majority of these pictures. It left me with time to lend a hand, explore the theatre, and schmooze with the locals. The older gentleman helping me rebuild the wall was a volunteer who had been coming to CAT for 12 years after seeing “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead.” Not only that, he comes from the West End, which was an eye opener. My assumption was that someone who was devoted enough to volunteer would also be from the Northside. It made me realize that I need to think even broader when considering the potential Richmond market.
The bearded fellow in the photos is Jim Barbour, member of the board for CAT Theatre. He was busy throughout the night, as cast members for the upcoming “The Children’s Hour” were coming by to pick up scripts, as well a coordinating the construction happening around us. Fortunately we were able to have a few conversations in the mix, mostly fodder for inspiration of promotional materials. The coolest thing we talked about is his upcoming appearance on an Investigation Discovery show. Apparently crime show reenactment casting is a niche market for some actors, and Jim has played in a number of roles on various shows, everything from the victim to a family member to the murderer. Pretty cool, right?
All in all, the trip was a lot of fun and rather informative. I was calling Stephanie my assistant at one point as I was driving and coming up with ideas for her to jot down in my notebook.
Well, until next time!
