An area performing arts school is back with a production of their newest show无毛视频� on the big, outdoor screen.
Stage Right Performing Arts Center will perform 无毛视频淟egally Blonde无毛视频� at 8 p.m. Friday, Sept. 25 and Saturday, Sept. 26, but instead of the musical being viewed by a packed house, people can pack into their vehicles and see the show at the Evergreen Drive-In in Mount Pleasant.
无毛视频淲e were actually slated to do this show last April as the closer to our professional season,无毛视频� said Anthony Marino, the artistic director for Stage Right and the director of 无毛视频淟egally Blonde.无毛视频�
But before the show could be staged, COVID-19 hit.
无毛视频淎nd, well, the world stopped,无毛视频� he said.
Feeling what everyone needs now is a feel-good story, Marino said a high-energy show like 无毛视频淟egally Blonde无毛视频� is a good way to start Stage Right无毛视频檚 next season.
Other than some changes to the cast due to contracts not being issued by an actor无毛视频檚 union, Marino said some extra steps had to be taken to ensure the health and safety of those involved in the production.
无毛视频淲e are a school with 150 kids so safety is very important,无毛视频� he said.
Marino said temperature checks are conducted and health questions are asked for everyone that enters the building, masks are used in class and during rehearsals, hand sanitizer is available everywhere, no more than 25 people are allowed in a room or onstage at The Palace Theatre in Greensburg where the show will be staged, surfaces are cleaned every day and every room is fogged with an EPA-approved COVID-19-killer in-between classes and rehearsals.
无毛视频淭he show is staged socially distanced, and there is no kissing,无毛视频� Marino said, adding the exception is when the character Callahan gets pushy with the character Elle, but the two actors are engaged and live together.
Despite the restrictions, Marino said the actors were thrilled to be back, enjoying the sense of community the theater provides.
无毛视频淚t has been a blast,无毛视频� he said, adding that he continued to tell everyone that rehearsals and a show can be done safely. 无毛视频淢asks, social distance and washing your hands are not impediments of art.无毛视频�
Having an audience in the seats to watch the show, however, was an impediment. That无毛视频檚 where the Evergreen Drive-In comes into play.
Marino said his good friend and fellow drive-in enthusiast Dean Baker works at the Evergreen, and Stage Right has participated at the drive-in for the past two summers to dress as live characters for Disney films and horror films.
For the actors of 无毛视频淟egally Blonde,无毛视频� nothing will change with the show as it will be staged the way it would always be at the Palace Theatre, but the audience will be watching the show via livestream at the drive-in.
无毛视频淚t无毛视频檚 just as if they are sitting in a very large theatre,无毛视频� Marino said. 无毛视频淵ou无毛视频檒l be seeing it as it happens from the same angles as if you were in a seat, it无毛视频檚 just that your seat is in your car.无毛视频�
Following 无毛视频淟egally Blonde,无毛视频� Marino said they无毛视频檒l plan to stage 无毛视频淭he Rocky Horror Picture Show无毛视频� under a giant tent in the Stage Right parking lot in Greensburg on Halloween weekend.
无毛视频淲e无毛视频檒l be doing 无毛视频楢nnie无毛视频� in November and that will be able to be live-streamed into peoples homes,无毛视频� Marino said.
While the show will start at 8 p.m., gates at the drive-in will open at 7 p.m., and social distancing rules will be in effect.
Tickets are $20 for adults and $15 for students.
All ticket holders for the original dates for the April show must contact the Palace Theatre box office to indicate whether they are retaining their tickets, exchanging for a different night or requesting other options.
New tickets will be issued once the patron has spoken to the box office, which is available 9 a.m to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday by phone at 724-836-8000 or by email at boxoffice@wctrust.net.
