So Dave and Magik have collaborated again for a national theatre tour. This year, they offer two shows in the same truck: Pocahontas: A New American Musical (book and lyrics by Dave, music by Jaime Ramirez) and Alice & Wonderland: A Rock Opera (lyrics by Richard Rosen, music by Wink Kelso).
Here's a shot of the Alice set in preview. Each of the giant cards is a big A-frame with a ladder on the back, so the actors can climb it:
And a few shots from the Pocahontas opening in Houston this morning...

And curtain call:
My morning excitement was a trip to get an actress some cough syrup.
On the back of the Tech Director's Harley.
Without a helmet.
Don't do as I do, kids. :)
2 ate pie:
Wow, what a life! :) Break a leg to the cast!
They'll be on the road till just before Thanksgiving. They're a really good group of people - some of the steadiest, down-to-earth folks I know - great personalities to handle the unexpected things that happen on the road.
