Opening night of "Young Frankenstein" is being pushed back one week to December 20....
but for a very exciting reason!
Executive
Producer and Artistic Director Craig Bond explains, "Vintage Theatre
has built a reputation on intimate staging; which we found challenging
with the configuration of the Jeffrey Nickelson Auditorium. Although
our long awaited new stage has taken longer to produce than anticipated,
we feel that opening a week later will give our audience the improved
experience and a heightened look and feel to Young Frankenstein... and
beyond. Imagine the theatrics of being able to fly a monster vs. mildly
elevating him to face an electric storm."
Bond went on to explain these added benefits:
· By
lowering the stage we eliminated the IBEAM issue and height of 9 1/2
feet. The new higher ceiling elevations allow us to have a scale to the
designs that show off the power of dramatic heights and vast length of
set.
· We
were able to increase the off stage playing area and wing space
allowing us to have larger sets and to have more room to accommodate our
bands. Young Frankenstein has a band of 11 players - nearly doubling
the size of all other players in musicals to date for a fuller live
sound.
· Dramatic
lighting throw will enhance the professional tone and atmosphere of the
sets - as we no longer are "cooking the actors" by having lighting so
close to their heads.
