Private Lives Photoshoot

The cast of my senior show, Noel Coward's Private Lives, agreeably posed for a midnight photoshoot the last night of finals. I am quite blessed to have such a talented, and may I say attractive, group of actors. I think we all rather enjoyed ourselves. Here are a few snippets. I will be posting the promotional posters when i receive them from the multi-talented Jennifer.
Enjoy! 
The soul of the mad hatter & the suave of Noel Coward; Destry plays Elyot, the male lead.

Nothing wrong with a good pair o legs! Rachel gamely plays the ingenue, Sybil.


Jennifer, perfectly capturing the female lead Amanda


"Are we human, or are we dancer?" The boys have some fun.

Katie Mitchell cleverly plays the snarky French maid Louise, who will only take to Elyot

The battle of the sexes never looked so good!
These two deliver some of the wittiest bickering ever written.

David, playing Victor, is ready to battle with Elyot for Amanda's hand. Elyot couldn't care less.

She's got him right where she wants him.

Ah, complications.

The fabulous photographer Shannon Ochs and I fight bad stage lighting and rock top hats. Many thanks to Shannon for your work!


Dance puppets, dance! I love being a director...


Some close up time with the Theatre kids favorite photographer.
I have a feeling this project is going to involve a lot of work for yours truly...

Or we could just be sexist and pawn it off on the guys...

Sybil & Victor are oddly terrified of the tiny frenchwoman. So am I!
