IT’S hotting up for the cast of Calamity Jane after their move from rehearsals in the Telford Room to the Buccleuch Centre earlier this week.
Bob McLure, director, said: “I’m delighted with the
transition of rehearsals onto the Buccleuch Centre stage.
“Sometimes, this can prove a bit tricky but for the first time on the stage on Monday it went really well.”
Leona Mason’s tremendous portrayal of Calamity Jane and Glen Cavers as Wild Bill Hickock, together with the rest of the supporting cast, will ensure this production is one of the best seen on the Langholm stage.
Next week the costumes arrive, which is always
exciting, and there will be singing rehearsals with the band.
The stage crew are all ready to start setting up and lighting and sound will be getting tested.
By Sunday’s dress
rehearsal, everything will be finalised and ready to go and nerves will be stretched to the limit for the arrival of the audience and the opening curtain at 7.30pm on Monday, March 16.
If you haven’t bought your tickets yet, contact the
Buccleuch Centre box office on 013873 81196 but, hurry, they are selling fast and the
Deadwood Stage waits for no one.
OH CALAMITY!
