Hello!
We did it! Our performance ‘The Truth About Bedtime…’ premiered on 21st May at Lincoln Performing Arts . I am completely overwhelmed with the response we received from our audience during and after our show. Our piece being described as “imaginative, thoughtful and assured piece of work” (Jordan, 2018). Since the show, we have received numerous of compliments from audience members, who especially enjoyed the sweetness of our performance. Which was important to us as a company as we believe laughter is an important part of life.
Preparation on show day consisted of checking all the props and costumes were in good condition and had not been worn down during any recent rehearsals. Luckily, I only had to go over the ‘EYE’ ball again in order to make sure this was clear to the audience members.
During the performance, everything ran smoothly, except one of the balls used in our REM scene fell out of our props bucket earlier on in the performance and therefore was not in the correct place when it came to REM. Luckily, it had just rolled one foot away and was still easily accessible by the cast member that required it. All we can do to ensure it does not happen again is be careful when removing other props from the bucket, but unfortunately, these things do and will happen. However, this did not effect the show and the cast members remained calm and did not draw any unncessary attention.
If I had more time, I would ensure that costume was properly fitted for each cast members, in order to make sure they were safe and allowed us to move and feel comfortable. As some pyjamas were slightly to long on some legs, which may have looked untidy to certain audience members.
Overall, I am extremely proud of every member of our company and feel privilege to be a part of Sherbet Lemon Theatre and able to work with such amazing and creative women.
I hope this will not be the end of Sherbet Lemon Theatre and The Truth About Bedtime…
A big thank you to everyone who has supported our company so far.
L.F.
