| Thanks to Allison O'Donnell and Paul Gleason, Office Managers of Ship Creek Center's Sunshine Plaza (333 4th Ave.), We have a rehearsal space. Beginning in January we were able to move the buzzOplex theatre in and set up. Being able to have this space will much facilitate this production. Tammy Sitar, Catherine Shenk, Brian Hutton and I are the manipulators trying to learn Italian and make these critters do what we want them to do. Yngvil vant Guttu, Artistic Directory for Alaska Theatre of Youth is our director. Ed Bourgeois, Executive Director of the Anchorage Opera Co. is editing the script down to puppet size. |
