Introducing the Angels, and W.I.G.'s Final Show!

So in today's post we wanted to show you some really exciting things coming from our production of Angels in America, which runs April 29th through May 16th.

First of all, we would like to introduce you to our incredibly talented cast. Each week, you'll have an opportunity to get to know the individual members of the cast, finding out more about them and the goings-on behind the scenes, a.k.a. the process. Later this week you'll hear from cast member Lindsay Hall, who portrays Hannah Pitt as well as Dr. Henry.

I don't know about you, blog-friends, but I'm a visual learner, so perhaps a picture might help? [Plus, it's an extremely attractive cast (if we say so ourselves), so keeping them faceless names would do this blog a disservice.]

Here it is, the first cast photo, taken at the read-through of the script:

From left to right.

Top row: Lindsay Hall, Katie Tyler, Daniel Johnston, Ashanti Cooper, Sarah Carlson Brodine, John Sisson, Jake Fischer

Middle Row: Chris Perillo, Timoth David Copney, Gareth Kelly, Caitlin Leary

Bottom Row: Matt Winer, Ben Tschirgi, Becca Ballinger

We also have another, very exciting picture to share today: the first peek (unless you've already seen it on Facebook) at the image that will be used to promote the show on posters and postcards coming to a community bulletin board near you:

Beautiful, right? Take a minute if you need to, and meet me below.

As the poster notes, there will be twelve performances of Part 1: Millennium Approaches, two very special readings of Part 2: Perestroika, talkback discussions, and more. Details about performances, readings, and talkbacks will be posted on the blog shortly. Tickets can be bought on the Student Arts Collective website; just click the online ticket sales on the right of the page.

Don't forget to check back later this week for more fun stuff coming from our Angels.

And in not-completely-related-but-still-awesomely-AC-news, don't forget about What Improv Group?!?!'s FINAL regular season show! The show is this Friday, March 26th, at 8 p.m. in the Smith Theatre. Again, tickets can be purchased at the Student Arts Collective website, or at the door.

Be there or be W.I.G.less.
