Coming Home
Christmas is a few days away. How strange and sudden it seems. Stillpointe will be finishing up Return of the 5th Sister this weekend and then it will be time for a swift rest before moving onto Bubbly Black Girl Sheds Her Chameleon Skin. Time is constantly moving and so is Stillpointe. We are very proud of our work this year, and excited for the shows coming up.
Our opening weekend of 5th Sister...

What does it mean to be “ready”?
For me, I feel like I have to be so ready I’m about to burst out of myself before I even realize I’ve been ready for quite some time. I’m not sure that is a good quality. I’m also not sure if that is something I can change.
Being ready isn’t always accompanied by a good feeling. Is anyone ever really ready to do...

Last minute thoughts on the Gulch...
Hello again, and greetings from Wycherly Gulch. This is our final week here. The Gulch has been built, taken down, rebuilt, rained on, taken down, and rebuilt a final time for the last Hoorah of this project. We were at Artscape last weekend, and although the rain came in we still had an amazing time. The band set up to play wherever there was dry space. We did living tableau and had tons of...

The Actor's Nightmare
It is way to early to be up this morning, but I am. And not only am I up but I am sitting at my desk at work with a pit in my stomach the size of a grape fruit. It isn’t the result of a long night of drinking, a fight with a friend or a death in the family. This goes far beyond the realms of anything tangible and this cause only has two words:
Off. Book.
Even reading them just now makes me...

Poets, like cudgeled bullies, never do
At first or second blow submit to you
But will provoke you still, and ne’er have done,
Till you are weary first with laying on.
The late so baffled scribbler of this day,
Though he stands trembling, bids me boldly say
What we before most plays are used…
Pshaw!
Hello everyone, exciting news!
Stillpointe and company had a little read through of the Country Wife on Monday night. We sat around and read the play aloud, with very funny accents. Amanda showed off her best Russian, and I got to live all of my Eliza Doolittle dreams—-as well as a few other fancy accents from the boys including Nick as…himself (he was born to be a Fop), we had a...

Hi all, Katie O here,
Please excuse the fact the tumblr has been a little on the lax side, as you know we opened and closed Shovel in the Dirt last weekend and next week we open 35MM. Although these projects are taking up most of our waking hours—we are beyond excited to bring all of the musical theatre to the Baltimore area! So please forgive me laxidaisy blogging!
