Moving along Apace




The Happy Days crew is moving along in our journey toward our production.  After an open rehearsal at which we showed off some well prepared scenes, we have invigorated confidence.   (You see here a bit of our mock set, and Asta Hansen as Winnie, deciphering the toothbrush while Dale Fuller as Willie fans himself with the newspaper.)  We have no illusions about how difficult the road ahead is, and we look forward to the journey.  The play is so complex, so rich, and so good that the work is a joy.  Each time through a new detail becomes clear or a new sense of a moment asserts itself.  
We are joined on our journey by set designer Darya Geerisimenko.  Below is her first draft rendering of a back drop.  We are thrilled to have such a talented and enthusiastic designer on the ride with us.
