Creating Costumes and Adding the Props

Our characters are coming to life as we go off script and being rehearsing wearing some of the special costume pieces. 

Our young thespians are paying close attention to remarks being made by our director learning the blocking so they can find their way around the stage with ease. 

Our Director

Rebekah Schwind, our PCA fall play director, gives credit to her friends for encouraging her to try out for a community production of Robin Hood.

It was to be a magical, life-changing experience.

After dipping her toe into the pool of being on stage, she was hooked and a life-long thespian was born.

Soon she was auditioning for every play, musical, madrigal, and choir production that crossed her path. She loved the thrill of simply being in the theater evening after evening, rehearsing, building sets, running lines, and blocking scenes. 

After high school, she combined her love of the theater and horses, by acting and directing small skits on horseback at the state fair.

Rebekah believes that theater allows us to connect with the audience in profound ways, portray incredible stories, and share extraordinary messages. She sees it is a gift from God.

Bring on the Costumes!

One of the most delightful parts of this play is the chance to bring beloved storybook characters to life. 

The audience will fall in love anew with The Three Musketeers, Sherlock Holmes, Robin Hood, Pollyanna, Heidi, Tom Sawyer, and Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz. 

Attachments area

When you need to change costumes in a hurry, it pays to have practiced doing it many times before performance day. 

The Three Musketeers will be appropriately adorned in glorious blue capes, trimmed in silver, hand-made by two of our stage moms. 

Still Gathering Props

The prop table is looking much fuller than a few weeks ago. The finishing touches will be added in the next few days, as the search for the perfect pieces for perfect our quaint, little bookstore scene are found. 

Snacks for the hungry crew 

Nothing says, "love" to a group of hungry high school students like a table full of snacks. The moms take turns each week supplying carb-laced food and drink to keep our actors happy and fueled up.
