Photos!




Set the needle on its path...


Bobbing up and down and past



This is the beginning and the end, the rise and the fall.



O the Scientist was the author and the architect.



Nidria of the past and the future...



His two purest talents were Ahrima and Nidria



She's the only one who knows what I could've done.



Everything seems to fade when I see her face.



Don't you worry, boy - it's a waste of time.



We've found the missing piece!



Barayas the Spider



Bring those lamps back to me.



Let my inflection be crystal clear!



The Oracle and O the Scientist



The Oracle



What a tragic mess you fools have made of this.



He watched them compose a mountainous wall of stone to separate themselves from him.




In The Dark lived two brothers...



Adakias




Sangara




The heir, Pallis.




Pallis




Dark dancers




Dark dancers




Why can't you be more like your brother?




The Exit




Princess Anhura




It's true love!




It's subtle as a tidal wave...




Don't you ever feel like you've been destined for something bigger than your skin?




The couple was eager to trade vows, to float away and settle down.




King Malka




Queen Sylvia




The Royal Family




Daughter, my dear, please open both your ears. There is something not right here.




All we have is love, my king, so let's sing la-da-da-da!




A specialist...





I just want the Hero here with me until the end of time...




Sell your life away!?




Given panniers of peerless pears and plums polished.




Brother, what have I done!?




You will take care of this spinning sphere.

June 12th. Ooooh my God.

That's right. It's May.

One month and twelve days until the performance.

We had the photo shoot yesterday, May 1st, and it went awesomely. :D I need to be sure to put Steven Akins on the program for the performance. He said it'd take about a week for the photos to be complete, and I will most definitely post them on here when they're ready. :)

However.

We clearly are still having some costume issues.

  • Travis, you're set, as far as I know. You need to find the pinstriped pants, but you've got a backup pair of black ones, so I don't worry about you.
  • Katherine, you're the narrator, so you're good. It'd be cool if our dresses were identical, though.
  • Fernandez, you need a suit jacket.
  • Shianne, you need a NOT see-through yellow shirt. XP
  • Emily, I'm thinking you need a bigger black shirt because you keep having to pull yours down while dancing. Also, we're going to slaughter you with make-up, so prepare yourself.
  • Lindsey, you may need an outfit for the dark, but I'm not sure.
  • Haylie, you need a neutral outfit, but I think you told me you could dress in blue? Blue shirt and blue shorts/skirt is what I need.
  • Kevin, you need a red neutral outfit, which you told me you'd have. XP And you also need a pinstriped jacket.
And I think that's it...

I'll attempt to acquire said items at EARC.

We STILL need to finish Life is Looking Up and The Oracle, but the rest is done. :D

Cristin, The Red Cup emissary, got us some swiveling stage lights and my uncle, Mike, is letting us borrow an amazingly large speaker that can plug into an iPod, so we're technologically covered! :D

Oh, also, here is the updated cast list:

Narrator/Future Nidria - Katherine Benton
O the Scientist - Kate Howell (me)

NOW FOR THE SET.

I talked to Devin Kellerman and she said she'd be willing to help us out with the artwork! :D Thank you, Devin.

So, to clear up any confusion, I will list the ideas I have for the set design:

I want there to be three to four wood panels that we can lean on the back of the stage.

On one side of the panels, I want the setting to be of The Dark, which consists of a dark, grimy cityscape. Not to mention several posters of the character Pallis.
So with a texture like this.
And a scenery like this.

On the other side of the panels, I want the setting to be of The Light, which consists of a bright, blissful landscape. Also, we need to include a castle-esque sort of feel. Like a castle made of trees, drenched in vines and flowers, maybe. Or maybe no castle at all and simply a clearing in a forest where there royal family resides. As long as we get the importance of nature across.
So with a style like this and this.
And a scenery like this and this.

What do you guys think?
