Bienvenidos, and welcome!
Professional Actor and Costumer, Tony Smithey, joins the cast as Prince Celestin. Isn't he cute? He's going to kill me when he sees this photo...
Actor, Playwright, and World Traveller Austin Thiery is cast as our French Ambassador. Apropos, no?

And of course, rehearsals continue for Olelucia! Here is a behind-the-scenes look, from our ongoing rehearsals... Many thanks to our sweet gypsy "prince", Claudio Campos, for his wonderful candid photos!
Loly and Cara
The Princess shares some gossip with Dulce, the maid.
Dear Claudio, I have great respect and admiration for your art. But if you could refrain from taking pictures of me while I am in mid-sentence, with my mouth all pursed-up in a ridiculous way, I would be ever-so-grateful. Your loving stage director, ~Mary Beth.
p.s. Did I mention no more crazy hair pictures??
Princess Marcelina and Dona Veronica
The reality of being a dancer is, sometimes you have to take the bad with the good.
But you persevere, and it comes out all right in the end.
We have a lot of fun at rehearsals. I always think that one of the most important things about staging a production, is that when you look back on that time, it is with warmth and affection, and you know that it was worth all the hard work and sacrifice!
Thank you for taking the time to share our world! Please check back soon for more updates!
