When the Stars Go Out

I got a bit of a last-minute email from my pal Gwen that a workshop production she was in at Flashpoint was hoping to get production photos taken within a couple of days. Thankfully we were able to work it out and I went and shot a dress rehearsal for the gang.

When I got to the theatre I was thrilled to find out it was a workshop of a Stephen Spotswood play, "When the Stars Go Out." I quite enjoy his writing and have actually even worked with him before (back when I was still the one onstage). And although it's tough to pay attention to the intricacies of plot, character and theme while behind the camera, I am a huge sci-fi fan and always love to see that sensibility woven into theatre.

It was great fun. Also, these are the first shots using my new tripod -- I will never go back!
