We’re in full swing!
Two weeks of rehearsals have already passed, including a meet and greet where everyone, actors and creatives, got a chance to find out more about each other and what the production of Fêtes de la Nuit was all about. The highlight of the evening was being able to meet Charles Mee. But some could argue the real highlight of the evening was the beginning of a special bond amongst us all. Spotlight was there to observe many of the proceedings and can tell you that it is amazing to watch how everyone works so well together and things come together so quickly. Like everyone has an inner spirit connecting to each other both one-on-one and as a group, intuitively. Here’s the batch of photos from our Documentary Photographer Jill Usdan.
