Stop! Prancer Time.
Hi, gang. Whew! Iām late today!
Iāve only got Prancer for you because itās tech week (Prancer opens THIS FRIDAY) and things are b u s y.
Although we donāt have any production photos yet (the super-neato pics with costumes, completed set, the whole 9 yards), we do have some really fun rehearsal shots. Check āem out:

angels!

not looking like Santa yetā¦but he will :)
Adorable, right?!
This productionās design team has been working like mad to make this show as amazing as possible. Hereās a rendering of āthe woodsā from our scenic designer, Valeriya Nedviga.

Our lighting designer, Andrew Vance, is doing some great work, as well. Hereās something Andrew posted as inspirationā¦so you know heās aiming for something really magical!

And, of course, I canāt leave out our wonderful props designer, Rebecca Jo Malmstrom, whose challenge it is to put a reindeer on the John H. Potter stage. Hereās a tiny taste of Rebeccaās work.

Prancer director, Alli St. John, comes to us from the Childrenās Theatre Company (where sheās the casting director), and is as good as they get. Iāll hopefully talk her into a quick interview for next week.
