Young blood, new blood! Just what all mosquitoes, vampires
and theater producers crave. This season BOP has some of the best young
performers and producers Bisbee has to offer stepping up to produce our annual
variety shows.
Veteran BOP performer, Mitchell Reed-Tattan will produce and
emcee BOP’s Almost Annual Comedy Show. He’s titled it “Up With Sheeple.” This
year’s laugh fest is slated for the evenings of November 23 & 24 with a
matinee on November 25. This show appeals to performers who cannot make the
commitment to an extended rehearsal schedule since everyone gets their act
together on their own and then comes together for one tech/dress rehearsal
before the show. If you think you’re funny, we want to see what you can do!
Please contact Mitchell for more information or to schedule your audition at MitchellBOP@aol.com. We’d love to see
more of the “young bloods” on stage this season.
This year’s “Bisbee Women’s Revue” will also have a new
producer in the person of locally renowned belly dancer Tianya Milagro. If you
haven’t seen Tianya dance, you need to. Those of us who have are completed
enthralled by the grace and beauty she brings to the stage. Tianya has proven
herself to be a top notch producer as well as a talented performer. Last year she
produced her own Day of the Dead Cabaret show to rave reviews. Tianya will
again bring the best of local talent to the stage in the second addition of the
Cabaret on the evenings of November 1 & 2. BOP is thrilled to have her
producing our Women’s Revue, which celebrates International Women’s Day, and we
hope she brings some new blood along with her. The Women’s Revue is scheduled
for evening performances March 9 & 10 with a matinee on March 11. Contact
information for Tianya will be forthcoming after the new year, but it’s never
to early to begin getting your act together for auditions.
Speaking of “young blood” and “never to early,” Rae is
already beginning to look for the perfect young man to play the male lead in
BOP’s spring production of “Harold & Maude” by Colin Higgins. The ideal
candidate is at least 18 years old, but can be older if he can play 20
something, and dedicated to the work involved to pull off this wonderful role.
Experience is not required, just a desire to learn and have fun with the part.
The DVD of the movie version is available at the Copper Queen Library if you’d
like to take a look. Contact Rae at obscurerae@gmail.com
or 520-432-2901 if interested or for more information.
Hey, let’s play!
