8th Annual Alumni Show a Success

Taking in the antics on the Weathervane stage from the vantage point of the downstage right "wings" has been an off and on habit of mine since 1990. Original barn to new barn for ten seasons, I have watched my summer family transform into characters of all sorts.  Every Alumni Weekend I have attended, I find myself, at some point during the show, in the downstage right wing, watching a different cross section of those summer families perform, and marveling at what I see and hear.

My first reaction when I saw the rehearsal schedule for the alumni show was, “Don’t give me a big role.”  Actually, my first reaction was, “I need to back out of this.”  But Rhonda and Rick talked me back off the ledge.  They said I could be involved as much or as little as I could handle.  I said I could handle just a minor role.  But I agreed to return for the 2009 alumni show.  This would be the first one for me.  After working at Weathervane as an actor and director (and one year in a backstage capacity even I can’t define) in the 80’s and 90’s, I would be heading back to Whitefield. 

On Saturday, I drove five hours north and made my way to the new rehearsal space.  Well, not that new anymore.  But I hadn’t been there in a while.  I found a large group of performers—most of whom I knew.  And all of whom were friendly, supportive, funny, and only a little grayer than I remembered.  (Who am I to talk about graying anyway?)
