Poster Art

The original artwork for our Amahl poster was created by Glenn Waggner, an architect and artist from Tarzana CA, aka Lisa's Dad. For more of Glenn's artwork, visit www.waggnerstudio.com. Glenn will be in the ART TREASURES show at Orlando Gallery 18376 Ventura Blvd. through December.

Ahmahl's Crutch

Thanks to Tricia Coughlin (and the branches in her yard), we have Amahl's crutch! Crude but sturdy, it does the job quite nicely. Notice the imperfect structure and scars that only nature can provide. Menotti has said that part of the inspiration for Amahl is his own temporary lameness as a child.

They Also Serve Who Plan and Sew

Behind the scenes....Monica drives the PR and Marketing strategy and Vida is the designated Production Coordinator and Costume Designer. Press releases have been written and dispatched "far and wide". Post a comment on this blog for suggestions on other local pubs or networks that we can tap. The sewing circle will meet this Saturday Nov. 29 to stitch up the costumes for the Dec. 1st filming of the promo video. Contact Vida if you can cut, sew or hem.

Nothing But the Best Ingredients

When Chef Joseph Schmidt takes command of the kitchen, nothing but the best is acceptable: the best ingredients, the best equipment and just the right amount of sugar in his cookies. And he won't scrimp on chocolate chips when he preps for the "cookies and coffee" reception after each performance of Amahl. Who can ask for anything more!
