Tonight was the opening of the final show of our season, and the world premiere of the new play My Ohio!  This was a brand-new play written by Vermont playwright Dana Yeaton.  This show has been in process for over a year: there was a read-thru/sing-thru last winter, the show worked in NYC in November and then went into rehearsal at the end of March.  After tonight's performance we held a bit of a talk-back with the cast and crew and audience.

Matt Carlson (plays Neil), Trisha Rapier (plays Bonnie), Travis Sullivan (Musical Director), Peter Schmitz (Choreographer), Andy Mitton (Composer), Dana Yeaton (Playwright), Mark Nash (VSC Producing Artistic Director), Lisa Rothe (Director) and John Forbes (Lighting Designer)

The audience seemed to really enjoy the show, and overall both Mark and Dana seemed pleased with the final product.  Ray joined me for the show, and we had some great laughs.  Just two and a half weeks until the end of the season!
