new series: inside Studio 251..

One of the perks of being on the b current team - sitting in on rehearsals and watching the magic happen. Now that our 20^th Anniversary season has officially launched, you can catch the behind-the-scenes action too by following our new blog series “inside Studio 251..”

 The first rehearsal of Radiance was buzzing with creative energy and excitement as the cast and crew came together Tuesday night. Right from the top you can tell this group is going to be bringing amazing artistry to the Wychwood Theatre stage in October! 

 Director ahdri zhina mandiela led a motivating discussion on the focus of the work and the emotionally charged themes that resonate throughout for the audience and the performers, after which set  and costume designer Jung-Hye Kim gave a tour of the set’s mock-up model. It was great having a visual of how the stage will be transformed!

 We had the entire rAiz’n ensemble in the house, so the main focus of the night was to complete the first read-through of the show and getting everyone on the same page.

Amanda Nicholls reads from script as director ahdri zhina mandiela  and cast-mate Maxine Marcellin follow along.

 

Amanda Nicholls, who plays Nona in Radiance, jumped right into the script with cast-mates Meghan Swaby, who plays Mae, and Maxine Marcellin, who plays Cressy. As the words on the page came to life, we could really hear these fantastic young actors shaping and moulding their characters. Can’t wait to see what happens once the show is up on its feet!
