More "Forum" shots


Well, the run finally ended. Sixteen performances later and approximately 2200 patrons that laughed at our antics. What a fun time! The spoof that traditionally followed, at the cast party closing night, was so incredibly witty and outrageous.....we screamed with laughter!
From the ridiculous to the sublime... Saturday night closing night performance, cast party and falling into bed at around 3a.m. Sunday, early call at church in preparation for a concert, later that evening, with Jackson and Almeda Berkey - www.berkey.com
These two are members of Mannheim Steamroller and amazing musicians. The choir of JAPC did a program of choral music and a work by Jackson called "South Dakota Shadows". An amazing 30 minute piece for choir, soloist, reader, keyboards, piano, bass and string quartet. Studding beautiful. The concert was part of the music series offered by the church. The audience ate it up. All based on regional poetry, Jackson was commissioned to do the work to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the founding of South Dakota.
Check out the Berkeys' website for more information. I'll type more about it but now...
off to bed!!!!
