Peace and Reconciliation

Last night was opening night for us here at Goddess Wheel and it went incredibly well!!!

The cast shined, the music flew and the audience loved it!

Here are a few pictures from the production, courtesy of Karen O'Donnell Photography:

If you think these are great you should come see the entire show!

Tickets are available through the Wagner Theatre Box Office at 718-390-3259!

The Pledge

The weather is heating up and so is the activity here at Goddess Wheel!

There was a great article about the production in the Staten Island Advance this week (read it here)! And we made it through tech!

It's almost time for our end song as we open TOMORROW!

People will be coming from near and distant cities to fulfill their desire of seeing this show. They will make their grand entrances to Snug Harbor and become a part of the production as they are mesmerized by the glorious lights, projections and costumes – not to mention our talented cast – – there are no excuses not to love this show!

Come, take the pledge; we've prepared a fantastic show, but it won't be the same without you!

Tickets are available by calling the Wagner College Theatre box office at 718-390-3259.

Oh, Athens!

Here at Goddess Wheel we are racing towards opening faster then Atalanta (the Greek goddess of running)!

We've left the rehearsal studio behind                                   

and the music is completely learned!

The script is frozen, the lights are hung and the stage is built!

Tomorrow marks the beginning of our venture into Hades – I mean tech week! But first the cast took some time to explore their new home:

The Goddesses (Jaime Maraviglia and Erica Wiederlight)
hang out in a hidden Goddess location.

Cast members enjoy a few moments of downtime backstage.

Two of The Dead hide out awaiting their cue to enter the stage.

Who's legs are dangling out of the trap door??

There is less than TWO WEEKS until the opening of Goddess Wheel - be sure to order your tickets before it's to late! Call the Wagner College Theatre box office at 718.390.3259

Weather

Things are heating up here at Goddess Wheel!

Over at the Snug Harbor Cultural Center, our performance space, the wind might be blowing outside but inside our AMAZING set, designed by Phil Hickox, is being loaded in!

The cast have begun their final costume fittings, the props are beginning to arrive in the rehearsal room and the script is changing less and less!

With only 15 days until opening, we are approaching the finish line with gusto!

Here are some pictures from our last rehearsal and some more from our visit with Matty Selman last week:

In the play, Lysistrata comes across a Spartan soldier and fears he might be violent toward her.

The Spartan, played by Ryan Cole, explains that he doesn't want a fight- he just wants to know the name of one of Lysistrata's followers.

Lysistrata doesn't trust the Spartan and orders him to leave her and her girls alone.  

Matty speaks with the cast about the play and some the changes that had been made to the script.

Matty led the cast in an articulation exercise; repeating the phrase “Many Men” to the tune of the “William Tell Overture”.

Don't forget to call the Box Office at 718-390-3259 to order your tickets! Goddess Wheel opens April 18 at the Snug Harbor Cultural Center on Staten Island.
