Doug performing in “It Should Have Been You” at Village Theater August 5, 2010

Doug will play Morty and a waiter in an upcoming staged reading of a new musical called “It Should Have Been You”.  The reading will show one night only at 7:30pm on Thursday, August 12th as part of Village Theater’s “Annual Festival of New Works”.  The new musical, by Brian Hargrove and Barabara Anselmi, follows a bride on the day of her wedding when crazy things happen.  The festival includes six original new musicals and runs from August 12th-August 15th at Village Theater in Issaquah.

Here is a brief summary of the show:

“What begins as a typical wedding, replete with indecisive mothers and jealous siblings, escalates to new levels of hysteria in this outrageous new musical comedy. As dissatisfied mothers fire snide comments at one another and ex-boyfriends make unsolicited appearances, arguments arise and secrets unfurl. With an uproarious score, It Shoulda Been You is a rollercoaster of laughs full of shocking twists that will leave your head spinning.”

Behind the Scenes of Beauty and the Beast May 24, 2009

During Beauty and the Beast at Village Theatre last winter, I shot a lot of backstage video footage and have put together two fun videos.  

 

The first is a general backstage video featuring most of the cast and crew and some funny inside moments.  

The second is a baby shower we held for Haley Ostrander, who played Babette in the production.  

 

These videos might not mean much to those who weren’t involved in the show, but they do provide a backstage glimpse into the professional theater world for those who like to take a peek.
