Salutations,
Witness the newest installment of Ian O'Brien's "Opie Come Home", this week at Our Lady Of Mount Carmel Catholic Secondary school in Mississauga.
Show dates are Wednesday the 13th and Friday the 15th, with doors opening at 6:30. Entry is $6, and all proceeds will go to MADD.
Come on out and see these young performer's in action.
Happy happy happy to those who're happy
A slight update, and a tantalizing teaser.
Ian O'Brien's "Opie Come Home" will be produced by Our Lady Of Mount Carmel Secondary School as their entry in to the 2015 SEARS Drama Festival.
From as far as we here at AR can carefully decipher, the students find this discovery "cool" and "stuff". If I know anything about Ian, which I'd prefer not to substantiate, I'm sure he'd find this "cool" as well.
Interestingly, when AR caught word of the students desire to produce a show we all know well, and when we extended our bony, time betrayed fingers, offering assistance, the students confidently exclaimed that they could "handle it and stuff". Once our translators finished decoding, we realized that the students intend to make this show an entirely separate event from any attempts at Opie that have come before. What a welcome feat. Though I'm sure our project starved associates would have loved the chance to dive right in, the students are determined to make this their own. We excitedly await and encourage just that. :)
This gives AR loads more time to focus on the upcoming theatrical year. There are many things in the work:
- A collaborative mini theatre festival in the Spring, involving artists from Georgetown and Toronto
- A local discussion series involving passionate artists and actuators, and engaging, relevant topics.
- A possible mural exhibit during the Summer Months
And much more.
Speaking of Ian, he's busy working away on his two-act show, Pinchin. It promises to be something special, when it's finally ready to come about.
Enjoy yourselves
- Amethyst Rex is scouting for young male actors, free to do some work, possibly in March.
Well, friends, Autumn is almost upon us, and certain members are busying themselves with different projects like some sort of long toothed, leather tailed water creatures desperate to home themselves before Winter. Already. Old habits dying hard, apparently. ;)
Please excuse the dormancy, but sometimes these things take time. If anyone has any questions or queries they can always reach us on this page or by our email.
IN THE MEANTIME, know that great things are in motion, and alive like clockwork.
Don't let them silence you.
