Creative Progress!

A lot has been going on around Goddess Wheel!

Over the weekend our director, Rusty Curcio, led us in a skill building workshop before beginning one of our rehearsals.

We've also been doing some really inspirational scene work!

Allie Dufford, playing Thalia the muse-Goddess of Comedy, and Jaime Maraviglia, playing Melpomene the muse-Goddess of tragedy, work on creating their characters

The Goddess Persephone, played by Leighann Colin, enters the dreams of the sleeping soldiers

The women of Athens, led by Lysistrata, played by Danielle Dallacco, look on in hiding as the men awake

The three soldiers, played by (from left to right) Rob Keir, Zach Fenoff and Andrew Khouri, 

discuss the dreams they just awoke from

The men work on developing how they might position 

themselves as the scene progresses

Our Goddesses take a break while we begin working on another scene

The guards of the Acropolis, played by (from left to right) Max King, Jesse McCaig, Greg Martins, and Matt Favetta, learn “It's A Man's World”

Overall, rehearsals have been going incredibly well! We're all finding inspiration and are exploring our creativity, heading down the road towards a great production!
