This summer, Callboard's theme is "Hit the Road." Some of you may remember this section from our previous newsletter. Now, it is an on-going theme for the next three months. Traveling KCSA members, whether heading to downtown Chicago or Italy, are welcome to share their stories (hopefully related to theatre in some way) and show reviews, which may include performances of music, drama, opera, musicals and more.
If you would like to share your experiences and show critiques, please contact Lauren Mietelski at lmietel2@uiuc.edu or Eric Gordon at egordon3@uiuc.edu. You can submit completed works to us through email (we will edit and post them), or you can talk to us first about your ideas. Also, please send us digital pictures along with your contributions. These pictures can be of the theatre (or the actual performance if you are sneaky), the town/city you visited, as well as friends and family on the trip. If you can't take your own digital photo, please find a relevant picture on the web and send it to us with the citation (website address is fine). So, "Hit the Road" KCSA members!
For those KCSA members staying in the Champaign-Urbana area this summer, we are still interested in collecting and posting show reviews and news from the Krannert Center, so please send either Lauren or Eric your submitions.
Coming in July:
VIVA LAS VEGAS!!
I am visiting Las Vegas for my 21st birthday the first week of July and, while trying to avoid Lindsay Lohan's poparazzi, will be attending two famous shows. So, two show reviews from the infamous Las Vegas will be posted to the blog sometime in July, so keep your eyes open! The first will be a review of "Mystere" by Cirque Du Soleil, performed at the Mystere Theatre in the Treasure Island hotel & casino. A critique of a live performance of "MAMMA MIA!" at Mandalay Bay Theatre will be soon to follow. For those of you who haven't seen "MAMMA MIA!," it is a Broadway sensation playing around the world. The performers supposedly sing and dance in the aisles at every show, and it sounds like a great time. According to www.mandalaybay.com, "MAMMA MIA!" is "the must see show in Vegas!" So check the blog in July to catch both Vegas reviews.
