Putting a Face on Theatre
Photo of the Week 2/21/2011!
It’s sex, drugs and violence in this week’s Photo of the Week contest! We got a slew of great photos the past couple of weeks, so if you’re not checking out others works, do yourself a favor and check out the library. You guys are great. This week we’re playing for a copy of The 2011-2012 Entertainment Sourcebook—so let’s check out the salaciousness!
The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, added by Bo Cecil
I am always amazed that Best Little Whorehouse ever gets produced. Sure, the house gets shutdown in the end, but it’s ultimately a very compassionate play, and comes down against the hypocrisy of those in power. This picture has an exuberance to it that I like.
Reefer Madness Zombies, added by Danielle-Ariel Caddell-Malenfant
This musical lampooning the over-the-top anti-drug film from the ‘50s is another play that likes to poke fun at the sanctimonious. This pic is a cacophony of movement and people, and just looks like too much fun.
Henry IV, Part 1, added by David Makuch
And finally, the violence. Regal, Shakespearean and gobo-tastic violence. Kudos to everyone—the set designer (love the banners), the lighting designer (light, shadows, confusion, ya know—battle), the fight director (lotsa people, keeping it epic, yet safe), and the actors (same ☺)
Now choose your fave and go vote! And don’t forget to upload your own pics for a chance to win!

'Reefer Madness Zombies' is taken in the beginning of the show during the title song 'Reefer Madness' in this musical number the Reefer zombies attack. This paticular shot is taken at the last few notes the song at the big finale.

This picture, from The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, is from the finale. Miss Mona is singing "Bus From Amarillo" in another part of the stage while the company enacts, silently, the aftermath of the closing of the Chicken Ranch, namely Melvin P. Thorp receiving accolades from the Governor of Texas.
