Hey there blog readers,

Catherine Tripp here to tell you about the exciting first rehearsal of The Mahabharata: A love story. It was so much fun that I clearly forgot to blog on time. However It stars the amazing talents of Karl Miller, Monalisa Arias and Danny Rivera. Karl is playing the blue God himself Krishna and Monalisa and Danny play two cousins out for blood.

We spent most of our first rehearsal figuring out the percussion section and the very long fight sequence. With a little creepy mask work thrown in for good measure. The story is one of love and war and the part the Gods play. (or it is just a crazy kick ass 15 minutes of fun) My talented cast has drummed their way into my heart as I have no doubt that they will drum their way into yours on Sunday night. While I don't have any pictures of Karl Krishna Vishnu, please enjoy the picture of Krishna at war. And please come to see Myth Appropriations VI.

A Karl Miller Joint

You all remember Karl Miller, the man who now graces the Rorschach homepage and the pages of American Theatre Magazine with his Calvin Klein model good looks and striking pose, the Helen Hayes nominee and Rorschach Company member. Yeah, that Karl Miller!

Well these days in addition to his theatrical pursuits he is haunting the halls of the Davis Center shooting mind bending films about Rorschach. Take a look and be sure to watch out for the cameo by Tim Getman's belly.

Storm in Progress

Everything is rolling. Storm has been in rehearsals for over a week and Skin and Dream Sailors have their first reads tonight and tomorrow night respectively.

To your left Karl Miller in getting beat. I am not sure if this is part of the show or just part of Jenny's directing process.

More news to follow folks I promise.
