A New Year, A New Show

Well the new year is just getting underway, and here at ACE our New Year’s resolution is to have more fun doing what we love!

 We’re charging full speed ahead with work on WHERE THE HECK’S THE PLOT, which opens next week!  The cast has been rehearsing over the Christmas break, including rehearsals on New Years Eve!  How’s that for dedication?  Come to think of it, when was the last time a local theater debuted an original musical?  Oh, wait, that was ACE, just a few months ago when we had the World Premiere of TELL ME!

At the end of the month we open ALTAR BOYZ.  I can’t wait to see this show on stage!  This is one funny show, and the performers are putting in extra time on the song and dance numbers for this one.  You know the actors are serious when they give up cigarettes and start taking up running in order to keep up with the fast paced choreography!  It’s time to “Raise the Praise!”

The work continues in the Annex Theater where we are installing new seats and getting ready for LOVES LABORS LOST.

Several ACE actors are featured in the upcoming film EARTH DAY, directed by Mister Ooh-LA-LA.  EARTH DAY stars ACE actors Gaylord Walker, Rebecca Teran, Maida Belove and Bruce McCarthy.  The trailer for EARTH DAY is now on Youtube - just search for EARTH DAY or Mister Ooh-La-LA.  EARTH DAY is a parody of the horror genre and the preview features some strong language that may not be suitable for kids.  It will premiere here in Eugene on April 22, 2009 – EARTH DAY!
