💥Our Town💥
1 of 2
My delightfully talented friend Donna Gay Anderson let me know she was directing the play “Our Town” for the grand reopening of the Vonnie Borden Theater. The Vonnie has been closed since 2021 when Hurricane Ida ripped the roof off.
More fun details! “Our Town” was the first play ever performed at The Vonnie when it originally opened in 1971 AND Donna Gays’ mother Vonnie just happens to be the namesake of the theater! All too cool!
So of course I got on my hands and knees and begged for some time to do a sitting with the cast during a dress rehearsal! All portraits in character and all actors students of SELU.
I think it was the single tear I let roll down my cheek as I made my plea to Donna Gay that sold it!
Voilà!
Amazing performance, amazing cast and crew, and of course an amazing director!
