OK, so I've been gone a really long time. Sorry for not keeping up, but it has been a crazy couple of weeks for me. We just completed a major convention production for Interstate Batteries. The end result was fantastic, but it has been a long time since I've had a production where so many strange things happened and so many hurdles had to be overcome. From trucks that got stuck in Washington traffic jams, to power failures at the hotel, to an audience member who suffered a massive heart attack during a general session and passed away with 2000 audience members nervously awaiting the outcome of the paramedics' attempt to revive him. It was a surreal week in many ways. But, as they say, the show must go on, and a great show it was! We did an opening production number with a cast of 6 performers. The music saluted the countries where Interstate had distributorships. Rodney Williams and Jenny Lee really stepped up to the plate and learned a couple of songs in Spanish for the performance. The dancers were Claire Williams (who also choreographed), Kelly Evans, Ruben Delgado, and Tim Johnson. Brandon Thomas did a great job producing the industrial for us and managed the entire casting and rehearsal process.  A big thanks goes out to Jonathan "No Sleep" Yeaworth, Jim "Does it All" Sheridan, Jacob "Make it Happen" Driver, and our audio and lighting staff who worked endlessly all week to make the show successful for our client. Great job, team!

I just returned last night and am trying to catch up on everything coming up for the rest of the summer. We have been truly blessed to have an abundance of work this year, especially in light of the economy. I'm so grateful for the trust our clients put in our staff and production teams.
