Captain’s Blog--October 27, 2008

Written by Captain Marbles

Hi everyone!  It’s great to be back!

All of us with the Acting Squad are busy rehearsing and getting ready for our opening at the DCA Storefront Theater on November 1.  We’ve had some singing and dancing rehearsals already, and the Squad is sounding great.  I have to work on a few things – it’s a little hard to dance when I keep losing my marbles – but that’s to be expected.

What’s been really fun has been telling people that we’re putting on a show again!  Some of the kids who saw us in the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s are parents – and grandparents – now.  We’re hoping that this is just the beginning – and they’ll be able to see many more Marble Squad shows in the future.  Special thanks to our great new friends at the DCA – they’re helping us in so many ways to get the marbles rolling.

We’re excited to have some special guests during the run of this first episode, too. Because we’re putting on our biggest show ever – “The Comedy of the Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet”—Morey the Eel has decided to become a casting agent – and he’s lining up all the top name talent we’ll need. Depending on when you come to the show, you might see tap dancers, singers, trombone players – even pogo stick jumpers (I think Morey’s getting a little carried away).  We’ll also have celebrities like Wayne Messmer, Tim Kazurinsky, Garry Meier and more.  Morey says he’s looking for a cast of thousands – er, hundreds.  I’m telling him to be thinking tens.  Morey says he’s working it all out – his people are calling their people.

So, we really hope we’ll see you at the Storefront!  When you come, be sure to stick around afterwards – we’d love to say hello to you after the show. And check back on this blog – we’ll be updating it through our run with the DCA.

Captain over and out – Doo-wah!
