Ch-ch-changes

First, the address of the blog will officially be changing from propellerlove.blogspot.com to apropellerblog.blogspot.com as of Sunday (availability permitting). Unless, of course, anyone has a better suggestion for a name...I've clearly been failing.

But now that that's out of the way, far more exciting news! Theater goers at the Watermill last night would have seen a new face treading the boards as David Newman officially joined the cast, filling the gap left by Emmanuel Idowu's departure. David will assuming the roles of Monsieur le Bon and the preacher in Merchant of Venice and Moth in A Midsummer Night's Dream, while Jonathan Livingstone will continue on as Hippolyta.

He will also be one of two officially designated understudies, along with Jonathan Livingstone, and I've heard these two gents got to show their stuff in yesterday's performances.

Casting Change

Jonathan Livingstone went in as Hippolyta for Emmanuel Idowu on Thursday in A Midsummer Night's Dream. No word on when the switch was made or why, but from the cast board in the lobby it would seem the change is permanent. Will report back on how this affects Merchant of Venice on Tuesday.

When the Past Was Still Upcoming

Here's two previews of the first Midsummer, covering (in brief) the trajectory of Rose Rage and Propeller's repertoire to date.

Edit: Notice that the cast listed here is different for the one listed at BAM. In this preview, Richard Clothier plays Titania and Guy Williams plays Oberon.

A New Look

Scanning the list, it seems a lot of first-time faces have joined in the fun. No word yet as to the who's who of it all, but if you're curious/impatient you can get your Google on and look up the following:

Kelsey Brookfield
Babou Ceesay
Richard Dempsey
John Dougall
Richard Frame
Emmanuel Idowu
Jonathan Livingstone
Thomas Padden
Sam Swainsbury

And if all this change is making you anxious, never fear! There are still familiar faces to put you at ease:

Bob Barrett
Richard Clothier
Chris Myles
Jack Tarlton

Jon Trenchard

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is your Propeller company of 08/09. 

Break many legs, guys!
