SEE BETH WRITE...SEE DIANA DIRECT...SEE FTW PRODUCE..."SEE JANE QUIT"!

There's more than smoke in the air this month as we gear up for our production of "See Jane Quit"!  As the director of the show, I can tell you three things:

1) Our cast is a dream to watch and work with;
2) Our assistant director has the comic instincts of a savant; and 
3) Our script is superbly smart and sweetly snarky, just like its author!

We are getting such a collective charge out of finding all the goodies hidden in this play amongst the rich characters, witty dialogue, and clever plot...I can't remember when directing a show has ever been this F.U.N. 

Add to that the privilege and pleasure of having a REAL SET for once, one that's been expertly designed by Richart Schug, a Jackson newcomer who's been working at New Stage this past year, as well as freelance designing for Millsaps.  Incidentally, we need to give a shout-out of thanks to New Stage Theatre for hosting us again in The Warehouse Theatre space--we could not possibly do this show without them--as well as to Mad Genius for donating their mad design skills to our print and publicity materials. 

We've still got a couple of weeks to go before opening night, but knowing that it only gets better from here on out, one thing is certain: you are going to LOVE it!
