WHAT A GREAT NIGHT, GREAT SHOW! We reopened Friday night to a very nice crowd both in size and reactions, the crowd “got” every single bit and just as planned were very entertained. For the first time in the run, I believe every tech effect worked perfectly, while the most memorable moment had to be Erin’s giggling, normally a quick giggle on stage is nothing to concern yourself about, but considering she did this AFTER she was dead.. well that’s another whole story!
A trip to the 818 after was very nice, I enjoyed a nice visit with FCT attorney Scott C and his girlfriend Amber, they made the trip from Toledo and really enjoyed the show and had many questions I found interesting coming from the perspective of a first time visitor to ” Rancour’s Retreat” Many things I wasn’t able to see after knowing the show what I thought was so well for at least the last 19 years. Like most lawyers he had ideas mostly as the story unfolded as to what was going to happen to Lord Dudley’s will and the money as more and more guests are killed off. LOL !
Tonight’s pouffe mistress was Sue S, the “killer shrunken heads” got extremely good reactions from the crowd and Scott even asked if the appearance of them was a FCT tradition since he gauged the audiences reaction to them as almost familiar.
Denny S also unleashed his new arsenal of sound effect toys from the pit, they were hysterical, thanks for the extra effort Denny!
Although this pic doesn’t begin to show the fun we have pre show in the almost new dressing room, I thought I’d post it anyway to show Laura helping Jeff with his eyes, Ryan relaxing, Erin is knitting, Chelsea is looking just plain bored and Tim is finishing up the Col.
…and now, On With the Show !
