Hero opens in just over 3 weeks.   I am at the point in the process where all the scenes are coming together.   We will soon be running the entire play.   Acting is the main focus right now and by month’s end we will move onto the technical elements of the show.    

I’m working with two children in this production – a 13 year old boy and a 12 year old girl.   This is a first for me and I have to admit that this prospect frightened me at first.  I expect them to act like adults, but I’m often reminded that they are children.   However, I am happy to say that these two children have taken on their roles very seriously and they are succeeding in quashing any fears I may have had.  The ironic thing is one of the themes being explored in Hero is that the children are acting like adults and the adults are acting like children. 

Stay tuned for more updates and a trailer.  Visit the Hero link for more details on the play.
