Congratulations to Craig Fritz and Cindy Gernand who team-directed this very big show. And there were so many behind the scenes: artists who took care of makeup, props, lighting, sound, choreography, set designers and builders, painters, costumes, stage management (a major challenge with such a large cast in our venue), making music in the pit, and dozens others who did everything from serving coffee at intermission to corralling the many children in the cast and to keep order in the green room. The people on the stage were simply amazing. Seeing the show on its opening night this Friday, however, reminded me again how much talent we have in this community and how much is required for a production of this kind. Donkey, the Three Blind Mice, Shrek and Princess Fiona (all grown up) I knew he as an ogre and that is really about all I knew. All I knew about Shrek was what I learned from doing crossword puzzles. Cartoon characters put to the stage never appealed to me. In fact, I wasn’t even sure I would attend a performance. I am am pretty much one of the leaders on the pop culture illiterati so I did not look forward to the show and I had not intended to take archive photos. To see tham any time, click this link and to go to the album.) (Note: The photos still appear at this writing but will move on as I post more photos on my Flickr site. If you have dropped in here since last Tuesday (July 9) you have been seeing photos of a Brazosport Center Stages rehearsal of the summer show, Shrek, the Musical in the righthand column.
