Day 2 of the first weekend had quite of variety of plays with many interesting design elements (please tell me the goldfish went to a good home!) As always, the evening was kicked off by the fabulous 14/48 band - Brendan Hogan, Amanda Williams, Troy Lund, Rob Witmer, and Festival Director Basil Harris jumped in at the last minute to play bass for a few songs.
First piece of the evening was Scott Auguston's "Deep Down Inside" directed by Linda Lombardi, featuring James Weidman, Aimée Bruneau, Russ Banham and Charles Smith....
...followed by Rachel Atkins' "Can You Hear the Mermaids Singing?" with Karen Jo Fairbrook and Annette Toutonghi (doing a lovely impression of a caught fish)....
....and then came Alex Harris' "The Story of Bacon" directed by José Amador, with Rachel Hynes, Bob Williams, Jane May and Ben Harris. The lobby of the Center House Theater I fear will smell of bacon for many more days....
...(Bob Williams and Jane May engaging in bacon-laced foreplay)....
...and then came Elizabeth Heffron's piece for the disturbed, "For Whom the Bell Jar Tolls," directed by Alan Bryce, with Cynthia Whalen, Jamie Roberts, Kate Kraay....
...David Gehrman (birthing) Tracy Repep....
...(new girl Repep gets broken in)....
....and first up after intermission was Linell Hanover & Sooz Stahl's "The Last Word in Good Taste" featuring Michelle Lewis, Teri Lazarra...
...Annette Auger and Curtis Eastwood....(some pictures just speak for themselves, don't they?)...
...and then Walter Dalton's "The Audition" with bad boy beat poet Andy Jensen....
...Cory Nealy and Don Darryl Rivera (nice bling -"Holla!)
The final piece of the evening was Celene Ramadan's "Deep Blue," directed by Brian Faker, performed by Ray Tagavilla, Kaleb Hagan-Kerr, Kathryn Van Meter and Erin Stewart.
(Major props to the Festival Designers for the work on this piece in particular!)
