It's a Wonderful Life Radio Show

The Snowline Players are hosting a 'radio theater' production of "It's a Wonderful Life" in December, and after a nail-biting audition I got the spot of George!  Woot!  I really was counting on being the announcer because of my voice, and didn't think that I'd be able to pull off the Jimmy Stewart role but the director has confidence in me and I'm all set to go!
The show is going to be different than theater events that I've been in before.  We have a script that we read from the stage.  We're going to be clustered around a microphone like radio serials from the 40s were originally taped, but we're also going to be in costume because this takes place in front of an audience.  It sounds odd, but it also sounds like lots of fun.  The audience is going to be served a fantastic dinner and the cast is the entertainment for the evening.  I've watched dinner theater before and loved it, so this is a new twist that promises to be memorable. There are only two shows, and for one I get the announcer and the second I get George.  I'm hoping I'll be able to make off with a dinner under my belt by the time this is over!

Only Four to Go!

The Nine of Spades in the Dark Deck filled with remorse and melancholy.
Cards Of Loss
  As I'm looking over my blog I'm realizing that it's been a shade over a month since my last post.  The most noteworthy thing is that the Dark Deck is almost complete.  How on earth did that happen so quickly?  I just finished the Loteria deck and am thrilled that it is now for sale and looks fantastic.  But before I knew it, the second deck is out of the gates and heading quickly towards the finish line.
This image is the Nine of Spades, and looks awesome.
Now one thing to keep in mind is that the Dark Deck (Or Cards of Loss and Regret, I'm still tossing around the names) are going to be offered for sale from the same store as before.  But in addition to that method of getting a deck, I'll also have them on supply at Eclipse Art Gallery in Apple Valley.  The gallery is finally opening up a gift shop, and I'm going to help give them some inventory to move.  So if you can't wait to get your hands on the Loteria deck, check out the show and buy a set on your way out.  It's worth it, I promise!
