A story that perfectly encapsulates what I mean about striving for excellence and generosity. I told it on last night’s Vs. Tuesday Night Zoom. (A big thank you to everyone who showed up and allowed me to share the history of Vs. Theatre Company and my vision for The Vs. Studio and upcoming Producing Workshop)…
My friend Andrew Elvis Miller was recently in a terrific production of The Civil Twilight. It was phenomenal all around, especially the acting (He and Taylor Gilbert were dynamite together.) It was one of my 2024 favorites.
After seeing the show I talked with Andrew for a long time outside, under the streetlights (one of the many things I love about live theatre is the conversation afterwards). The theatre space is intimate (less than 25 seats) and Andrew mentioned that it hadn’t really been used much for full productions. (More a classroom and one person show space.) The theatre also lacked risers, making sight lines difficult for the audience. Though he wasn’t a producer, Andrew was very proud of the work and cared deeply about the audience’s experience.
So much so, that he built and installed the risers himself.
Great news….The Civil Twilight returns in April. Click Here for tickets and info. Definitely go see it.
