All the world's a stage Part VIII - We're in Tahoe

By Angi Weiss-Brandt - 

 

Northstar

Editor's Note: Tahoeticker presents an all-access look at the behind-the-scenes of the 37th season of the Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival. The festival starts July 11 and runs through Aug. 23. Blog posts from cast, crew and staff will be featured twice-weekly. For part VII click here. For playbill and ticket information, click here.

We made the big move! We finished out our last week in Reno, packed everyone up and headed to the Lake.
 
The last two weeks went by like a whirlwind. We managed to move into the Redfield theatre, the designers flocked in and we ran the show a couple of times.

We found time for a million fittings and voice and speech sessions.

We worked scenes and found new moments of laughter and tears.

...Then we all packed up and headed to our new digs at the lovely Northstar resort.

We have the cutest lodge with two balconies and sweeping views of the mountains.

The move went very smoothly.

We settled right in.

A special THANK YOU to Company Management for making it easy. Can you imagine almost your entire company picking up and moving 40 miles away without missing a beat of work? Yeah. We did it!
 
We had a wonderful BBQ at the gazebo near our theatre.

I think everyone is breathing a collective sigh of relief that the move is behind us and we can work on the actual stage.

My show is spending the first three hours of rehearsal at Tahoe School in a rehearsals space so the carpenters can have some extra time to work.

I am heading to the school now to tape out the set and create a place to rehearse.
