Hollow Leg Theater: Hot Off The Press

We’re on the slippery-dip toward production! I can’t say enough about the amazing cast and crew, and Phoenicia Playhouse, which has set us up for a great weekend of original one-act plays.

Had a great time with Amy and the grown-up version of her Youth Ensemble Theater this week, culminating in 4 performances of our project in Rosendale, NY. That cast was amazing, the audience was great, and Amy made sure we all clicked. What a great time.

Late posting, but we managed to grab a few rehearsal photos with the amazing cast and crew. Catastrophic rehearsal… we had a single day in the theater for tech, and yours truly got the day wrong, so we all showed up, took over the theater and then had a confused group of 40 actors from…
