Open up the gates! The gates! The gates! The GATES!
It is the opening night of the four-weekend run of Playful Fox Productions presentation of Disney's Frozen.
One of my favourite parts of theatre is those magical moments when I can share a show with family, and this time it has been pure magic performing with my Disney princess, Danika. I remember when she was young, we'd play out many scenes together from the movie, and now we get to do it in front of an audience this time with scripts and actual directing, and costumes that fit.
It has been a joy getting to know the amazing props, costumes, and crew who work hard and have turned this into a dazzling production.
Many of the ridiculously talented leads are wonderful people I've been blessed to share the stage with before. Malakai Darien Fox, Marissa Kate Wilson, and Andy Dominick are the incredible talents that force you to elevate your own work on the stage. Lex Green really embodies Olaf, and kids are going to love him. Of course, Robert Scott is a great performer who will bring many smiles as Oaken and has always been such a wonderful person to my family and me.
I have the honour of meeting Grace Course in this production, and wow, you'll be blown away by her spirit, energy, nuance, and pure joy as Anna. Not only is she overflowing with talent, but she is one of the most sincere and kindest people you could meet, and her effort alone makes one want to do their best to try to be even 10% as good.
It has been such a joy meeting so many new performers. I've been blown away by their gifts and how well they've become their characters. Many in this cast have a bright future on the community theatre stage.
A shout-out to my dance partner Sarah Palermo, who is so great at just adding little details to a scene and is always deep in her character. I have a lot of fun playing off her.
I also got to meet the very friendly Andrew Moran, who is the best Lars the Lackey I could ever ask for.
But seriously, everyone is great in this show. You'll really want to see this with your whole family. I'm excited to get it all started tonight!
Get your tickets soon because they're becoming harder to find than a hidden folk.
