I recently had the experience of directing my first production for Tree County Players. It was an experience I thoroughly enjoyed! Over the River and Through the Woods was a heart-warming comedy that I fell in love with the first time I saw it.
As a board member for TCP, I knew it would be a story I could bring to life for the people of our county. I have directed over ten shows for South Decatur Jr./Sr. High School, but directing adults was completely different! I had a great, small cast of six members. I could not have asked for a better group of actors! They were completely professional, dependable, and very helpful throughout the rehearsal process. As our packed house began exiting on the first night, I saw people smiling, laughing, and even crying as there are tender moments in the show. I was so relieved that the audience loved the show as much as I did! We had a successful run of three performances. I appreciate all the support I received throughout this process from my cast and crew and TCP. I look forward to directing another show in the future!
