WE ARE THRILLED TO BRING YOU AN INSIDE LOOK AT THE STARS OF THE CLASSIC MUSICAL. THE SOUND OF MUSIC. JESSICA SALANDY PLAYS THE SPIRITED MARIA RAINER, AND MICHAEL JOHN SMITH TAKES ON THE ROLE OF THE STERN BUT LOVABLE CAPTAIN VON TRAPP. THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH FOR JOINING US THIS MORNING FOR HAVING US. SO TELL US ABOUT THE COMPANY, A SAINT BERNARD COMMUNITY THEATER. WELL, THE COMPANY IS SAINT BERNARD’S LOCAL COMMUNITY THEATER. IT’S A 501 C3 NONPROFIT, AND IT IS COMPLETELY RUN BY VOLUNTEERS. IT IS ACCESSIBLE FOR EVERYBODY. WE TRY NOT TO CUT PEOPLE FROM OUR SHOWS. SO THAT’S PART OF OUR CASTING PROCESS. AND WHAT MAKES OUR COMMUNITY THEATER A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN WHERE YOU MIGHT SEE AROUND IN OTHER PARISHES. OKAY, AWESOME. AND SO WHY IS THIS THEATER IMPORTANT TO THE COMMUNITY? I THINK GOING ALONG WITH THAT, THE ACCESSIBILITY, IF PEOPLE TRY OUT, WE FIND A SPOT FOR THEM. AND SO WE DOUBLE CASTED OUR SHOW SO THAT ALL OF THE CHILDREN WHO TRIED OUT WERE ABLE TO FIND A ROLE, EVEN THOUGH THERE’S TECHNICALLY ONLY SEVEN CHILDREN ROLES, WE FOUND A SPOT FOR 20 KIDS BECAUSE WE WANTED THEM TO BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE. WOW. AND SO WITH YOU GUYS DOUBLE CASTING CHILDREN, THE VON TRAPP ROLE, WHAT HAS BEEN THE PROCESS OR WHAT HAS THE PROCESS BEEN LIKE? WELL, EVERY TIME WE DO A REHEARSAL FOR ONE SCENE, WE’VE GOT TO DO IT TWICE. ALL OF THE ADULTS ARE IN THEIR ROLE, BUT THE KIDS WITH THE KIDS BEING DOUBLE CAST. EVERY SCENE WE RUN, WE’VE GOT TO RUN IT AGAIN. WHICH BRINGS A DIFFERENT DYNAMIC TO IT BECAUSE LIVE THEATER IS EVERY PERFORMANCE OF LIVE THEATER IS NEVER THE SAME. BUT WITH TWO CASTS WITHIN IT, IT’S IT’S A FUN, ENGAGING PROCESS, EVEN FOR US THAT ARE NOT DOUBLE CAST. AWESOME. AND LASTLY, THE FACTS OF WHEN, WHERE AND WHAT TIME CAN PEOPLE TAKE PART? THE SHOW IS AT DOCVILLE FARM IN MERAUX. IT’S GOING TO BE THIS WEEKEND AND NEXT WEEKEND. DO YOU KNOW THE TICKET LINK WE HAVE THAT TICKET LINK IS PROBABLY ON THE BOARD, BUT WHY COME TO THIS SHOW? I MEAN, THERE’S A THERE’S A LOT OF THINGS GOING ON NEXT WEEKEND. THERE’S A VERY BIG EVENT COMING ON NEXT WEEKEND. YEAH. THE BIGGEST BUT AND IN NEW ORLEANS IS ALL COMING AROUND TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN. WITH RESTAURANT RETAIL WORKER THIS AND EVERYBODY IS GOING TO BE WORKING HARD. SO YOU NEED A BREAK FROM DOING ALL THAT. THIS IS WHERE YOU COME TAKE YOUR BREAK. AND IF YOU CAN’T DO IT NEXT WEEKEND DURING THE BIG GAME, WE’LL BE AROUND ONE MORE WEEK TO LET THINGS REST AND THEN COME RELAX AND SEE LIVE THEATER. AWESOME.
