I recently had the honor to be stage manager for a local theatre production of An Evening of Culture. Up until now my only interaction with the theatre world was as an audience member. I know that I am not an actress. I am not at all upset by this. However, I have had multiple people try to convince me that I have acting ability. Trust me, I do not. But this role was awesome! I am very thankful to Theatre Ensemble Arts and our wonderful director, Thomas LaRue, to give me this opportunity. I know that it will be awhile before I'll want to be involved in another production (it's A LOT of work), but I am fairly certain I will work with another show or two in the future.
This play is absolutely hilarious! Even though I was at every rehearsal, I still found myself laughing at it during the actual performance. I was a great show with wonderful actors. If you ever get the opportunity to see it- GO!
