Digital image. The drama group. Web. 24 Jan. 2010. For those who saw “The Diviners” know to expect something extraordinary. With superb casting, the show was a complete success. Expectations for the next show are, therefore, much higher.
The new show will be “City of Angels,” a musical comedy about an author named Stine whose entire life revolves around the adaptation of his detective drama into a screenplay, so much so, that the musical constantly moves back and forth between the real world and the one in the novel. With all the commotion, Stine cheats on his wife, losing her, and soon, his job. At this point, a real life Stone, the detective from Stine’s book, appears and is cast to play himself in the movie. As Stine’s life crumbles, Stone takes the typewriter into his own hands and writes a Hollywood ending for Stine, in which he gains back his integrity and wife.
Everyone is excited for this new production despite the numerous obstacles faced in the making of “The Diviners.” With practices that lasted past midnight and a last minute success, parents and students alike filed many complaints. Nevertheless, the enthusiasm for “City of Angels” is great.
The auditions and call backs have passed and any day now the cast will be revealed. Of course for some, the let downs came early as not everyone was “called back” as the rush to get the new production on the way continues.
Personally, I am anticipating for this show to “one up” the last show. I’ve seen the incredible talent Pali has to offer and am now unwilling to see anything short of near perfection. I don’t connect “high school production” to our shows anymore since they far surpass the accompanying connotation. The last show was worth the ten dollar ticket, so this one should as well. I will be there opening night, schedule permit, and I will review the performance; so you, my dear readers, can make an educated decision about whether or not to see the musical.
