CRAZY WEEK

Sorry for being "off the air" for so long this past week! I have been out of town nearly every day since my last post. We spent a few days in Fort Worth at a funeral for my brother in law, and then traveled to St. Louis for a video shoot for the National Association of Electrical Distributors. Greg Tipton and I spent three days shooting several videos for NAED at their new office just outside St. Louis. I then came back for about 24 hours and left for a family reunion in Virginia. 

Today, the NCL "GEM" cast did two runs of their shows for our staff and invited guests. This cast is really fun to watch. They are all very strong performers and do a great job of connecting with the audience. We're looking forward to seeing the rest of their final runs this week. I will try to upload some rehearsal pictures to this site tomorrow.



NEW INFINITY CAST

Our new "INFINITY" cast has had a rough time over the past few days. We lost three cast members in some unexpected developments that were really hard on the cast. Fortunately, three of the outgoing cast members agreed to stay temporarily while we find permanent replacements. Our thoughts and prayers are with this new cast as they work through all the changes that will be happening over the next few days. A special thanks goes to Angi Weiss-Brandt, Claire Williams, and Brandon Thomas who worked with the cast to make sure they were ready to take over this week. Here is a shot of the cast taken at their farewell dinner last week. 

I also wanted to echo Brandon's sentiments about the outgoing cast of the "INFINITY". This was a fantastic cast and consistently received the highest ratings in the Celebrity fleet. We will miss all of them. There are some great video clips posted on Brandon's blog if you want to check it out...

This is going to be a busy week! I will try to post plenty of pictures this week as the GEM and Constellation casts continue their rehearsals in Nashville.
