On the Road

February 4, 2010

Rex and Emily Rose went to Cambridge, OH to the Ohio Theatre Alliance auditions. They saw 252 actors in a 12 hour period! There was a lot of acting and singing talent there, and the BRDT is in the process of employing several talented performers. In mid-February, Jody and Rex will go to St. Louis for 3 days of actor auditions at the Midwestern Theatre Association. They will see about 700 actors there.

The Littlest Shepherd

February 4, 2010

"The Littlest Shepherd," Stephenson and Tucker's Christmas musical drew large crowds, the audiences were warm and enthusiastic, and we have a publisher anxious to see the script - if we can find the time to re-work it a bit. Also, Carol Webster at William Byrd High is directing our "Tom Sawyer." This Stephenson and Tucker musical premiered in 2007 at the BRDT with great success. Webster's show opens at the end of March, 2010, so join William Byrd's production, and help celebrate the 100th anniversary of Mark Twain's death.

The Jack Tales on Tour

November 17, 2009

We are currently booking the Jack Tale tour and will be happy to bring your group a Jack Tale show in the spring.

Jack Tales, dramatized by R. Rex Stephenson This touring production features the Appalachian folk hero, Jack, and other characters from our region’s folk tales. Each production is different but includes toe-tapping music and innovative staging. Contact Jody or Emily about this one, brdt@ferrum.edu. We’ll come to you.

 

The BRDT wishes to extend a special thank you to our production underwriters without the generous support from them and so many of our patrons, our work would not be possible.
