A magical opening night


Well, isn’t it amazing how theater always seems to fall together at the end? It’s a mystery! But I felt pretty good about our production of “Kafka Dances” before going into opening night, so I ended up feeling great afterwards!

It started with showing up at the theater to get ready for the show and finding out that the show was already sold out! The audience that ended up coming could not have been better. They had such a wonderful energy, and from the very beginning of the play they laughed along with the show (as an audience would hopefully do, in this case!).

The cast for this show is great—all of the actors on stage have an immense amount of theatrical experience, so we all feel comfortable in the support we can give each other on stage. The cast consists of Jeff McCamish as Franz Kafka, Schatzie Schaeffers as his fiancé, Alice Welling as his mother, Mark Robokoff as his father, and me as his sister. We were directed by Dick Reichmann.

The evening closed with a reception, which was just great. To top off the magic of the night, as I was driving down my road, almost to my house, tiny snowflakes started to fall. There wasn’t enough to even stick on the ground, but it seemed to be the perfect end to such a night.

We were fortunate to receive a good review in the Anchorage Daily News, which you can read of you wish, and here are some photos from the show!
