Set Peeks, Auditions and Improved Access

HART HOUSE THEATRE UPDATE

Issue 9, 2018/2019 Season | August 21, 2018

Hello!

In this issue, we give you a glimpse of the Heathers: the Musical set design by the incomparable Brandon Kleiman, remind you of The Penelopiad ensemble audition call and ask you to bless our mess!

Just a glimpse of the set...

The first show of our season is begun rehearsals and that means that floorplans and preliminary set renderings have been created. We are so fortunate to have worked with Designer Brandon Kleiman many times over the years, and he never fails to impress with each design. Heathers: The Musical is certainly no exception. With a large cast and multiple locations, Brandon had the challenge of creating a design that could become any location from a high school to a backyard, while still having enough open floor space for large dance numbers. The results in the rendering are on pointe. Come to Hart House Theatre September 21 - October 6, 2018 to see the final results live on stage.

"Bless This Mess"

If you've been by Hart House in the last week, you've probably noticed that we have some construction going on. Beyond the barriers is work to make our building more accessible - a ramped entrance to the Arbor Room! Not to worry, though, despite the safety barriers, the House is open and our season is opening as planned on September 21, 2018 with Heathers: The Musical. We look forward to the opening of the new entrance, and the increased access it offers.
