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.”

Everybody loves Lucy…but what happened before Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz took Hollywood by storm? In this affecting new musical, watch as a young Cuban boy and a starry-eyed redhead from Jamestown set sail on a turbulent journey that leads them all the way to Hollywood—and into each other’s arms. But life in Tinseltown, they quickly discover, isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Struggling to keep their careers, egos, and marriage afloat, these two starlets are about to discover what it takes to make it in show business, and in life.

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.
