I have to say I worked with some of the most remarkably talented and diligently hard working group of young actors I have seen in quite a while. They all have this boundless energy that amazed me everyday I came into work. I watched them on several occasions rehearse a show early, perform a children's show in the afternoon, go back into rehearsal for a few hours, create an evening of beautiful theatre for very appreciative audiences, serve them food and drink, and then put on a cabaret all in the course of less than 24 hours . I often hear actors complain about work being difficult and although I'm sure it is I am in awe of this group of Forestburgh Playhouse 2009 Resident Company of Artists who do it day in and day out (with experience being the biggest form of payment). I know that any theatre will be fortunate to get these actors in there future casts. Thank you all very much for making my job easy!!! Until Next Time!!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4710125590619539394-2148260852937549594?l=piersix5.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jay Piercehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04126857892461167114noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4710125590619539394.post-65960599194753183622009-06-19T22:09:00.000-04:002009-06-20T07:07:36.744-04:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ULGRlLXG9wQ/SjxJ3KEiLpI/AAAAAAAAABw/YarOq-KGJtg/s1600-h/AgainstWall.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ULGRlLXG9wQ/SjxJ3KEiLpI/AAAAAAAAABw/YarOq-KGJtg/s320/AgainstWall.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349231669354311314" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:'lucida grande', -webkit-fantasy;">I just wanted to welcome you all to my new website and blog. I am at home in Brooklyn enjoying the last few quiet days before rehearsals start for <i>Les Miserables</i> and <i>Showboat</i>. Those of you who know me know that the hardest days of the year are when I'm not working... so to say I'm looking forward to that first day is an understatement. I promise to try to keep you up to date with what's going on and how things are at the Forestburgh Playhouse, and I hope you will let me know what's going on where you are. Until then!!!!</span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4710125590619539394-6596059919475318362?l=piersix5.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jay Piercehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04126857892461167114noreply@blogger.com0
