BEARCLAW in La Prensa's Vivir+

Bearclaw got a nice little article in La Prensa's Vivir+ section during the weekend. Check it out!

Sneak peek at BEARCLAW Rehearsals

We'll have a poster for BEARCLAW and KEEP ME by this evening. I am so excited to plaster Panama City in BEARCLAW propaganda. Yes, opening night is looming like the pot at the end of the rainbow, or just the topping of what is sure to be more productions. At this moment I feel like I could quite possibly get into directing another play, but only if I had the backup like I have had for BEARCLAW (which is to say AMAZING! Amit + Giancarlo have been my pillars of support in this production). Putting on a play ain't easy! I am not getting paid for this, as it is community theater, but I must say that a lot of blood, sweat and tears (and wine) has been poured into BEARCLAW. 

Ok, so you have a good production team, so what? If your cast is shit, how much can you actually DO. Not much. Thankfully, the BEARCLAW cast has been incredibly hard working, productive, and talented. We're at the final two weeks before BEARCLAW opens and now we're tying the loose ends, snipping unnecessary bits, and polishing it to a fine sheen. Long hours await us next week, but I really can't wait to see how the characters develop over this period of time.
