As our quarantine continues its threshold on our outdoor and artistic experiences, I’m bringing you another theatre company’s season to shed some light at the end of this tunnel. That being said, I am happy to highlight the 2020-2021 season at Palo Alto Players!
Shows/Dates: Allegiance (September 18th - October 4th); Swing! (November 6th - 22nd); Men on Boats (January 15th, 2021 - January 31st, 2021); TBA Musical (April 23rd - May 9th); Twelfth Night (June 11th - 27th)
Description: Palo Alto Players is a staple theatre company for the Bay Area Peninsula, and a fabulous one at that! Over the years, I have had the pleasure of seeing their productions of Altar Boyz, Boeing Boeing, Eurydice, Clybourne Park, Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike, Into the Woods, A Day in Hollywood/A Night at the Ukraine (show #600!), Million Dollar Quartet, Peter Pan, The Laramie Project, Rock of Ages, Shakespeare in Love, and A Doll’s House, Part 2. I also had the pleasure of dancing it up and singing all that jazz on their stage in Chicago. Make plans now to support Palo Alto Players in all ways you can, and then look forward to seeing their stellar 2020-2021 season!
A break from India travelogue-ing to celebrate closing night with the incredible humans of Men on Boats!! In total awe of your artistry, endless invention, willingness to dig into the hard questions, and ability to hold each other through the rapids. Now, circle up! One last warm-up to Riri in honor of this big day. Love you. #bcsmenonboats #baltimorecenterstage #menonboats #closingnight (at Baltimore Center Stage) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6YGGMfJ74V/?igshid=8jzo876acou6
Cannot find words to express the joy and warmth felt when visiting @centerstagemd. You wanna see a community engaged as deep thinkers, asking big and hard questions, and then laughing their asses off about how fun what we do is... then I have the spot for you! So freakin excited and honored to start rehearsal in two weeks! Key life lesson: Follow @saybarra anywhere. #baltimorecenterstage #baltimore #americantheatre #menonboats (at Baltimore Center Stage) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3roz4Xpo7v/?igshid=kldd6oe26bc0

Zafyre Blue as Old Shady in The Gainesville Theatre Alliance’s Men on Boats. What a supremely funny and talented person! Shady hasn’t changed clothes since the Civil War...and that’s fine. “A tree in the breeze...” #costume #costumedesign #costumedesigner #menonboats #theater #theatre #womenintheatre #atlantatheatre #oldshady #civilwar #union #reproduction #civilwaruniform #reenactment #1860s #victorian #explorer #treeinthebreeze #gainesvilletheatrealliance #everydayisgtaday (at UNG - University of North Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuWQhf_AtJc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=qg1t5e73hcrd

Another garment based off on an extant example. A quilted or puffer vest is super ubiquitous with being out doorsy. One of the amazing students at GTA spent days quilting the linen for the outside of the vest. Worn by Emily Barnett as John Colton Sumner in The Gainesville Theatre Alliance’s Men On Boats. #costume #costumedesign #costumesesigner #showphotos #menonboats #theatre #theater #womenintheatre #handmade #quilted #quiltedvest #linen #1860s #extant #research #johncoltonsumner #outdoors #buttons #sewing #awesome #gainesvilletheatrealliance #everydayisgtaday (at UNG - University of North Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt_Kj1GgMJK/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19hmwyu9faozv
