It's amazing how many members of the staff were involved. It's a cultural event that is roundly ignored within the community, but the staff are on board at least. The sets were fantastic. Lots of high contrast simple and effective props. The music, sound effects and most of the production elements were really well done. The script was a little hacked up and disjointed, but it's not like "Pan" is a very straight line anyway. The kids were generally very well invested in what they had bit off, which was great.
A few of the players showed great promise for future productions. It looks like there are several new kids available with some acting skill. That's exciting. Mr. K. was loose and confident before the show. Having Heather and Snoot on board when both knew most of the lines for all the parts, must have helped settle the nerves.
I hope they manage to slow it down a bit tonight though. They rifled through their lines to the point of being ridiculous last night. I think they were finished up nearly 15 minutes ahead of schedule. The casting was terrific and Mr. K. let the limelight pigs have at it. It was fun to watch.
