Due to some unfortunate circumstances, I have been recruited to run wardrobe for much of the run of Souvenir. After finishing up said duties at the matinee performance today I stuck around the theatre for the evening. Vermont Stage is trying to do a bit of a "dark night" showing, and tonight we were doing a staged reading of Kathy Blume's new one woman show called Flight. Kathy had been commissed to write for a performance at the airport a few weeks ago, and it since it sold out, and we had a theatre space with no show tonight, Vermont Stage decided to see if we couldn't get an audience!
This is Kathy, rehearsing her reading in the middle of the Souvenir set. Well, the stool and the music stand are all for her! Kathy attended the big climate conference in Copenhagen in December and the show was about her experience - both thoughtful and very funny!
