Wanted to report on our wondrous adventure to Cal State LA's Luckman Auditorium for the LA Stage Alliance's Ovation Awards last night!
I think everyone knows that the amazing and talented John Norbori was a nominee in the category of Sound Design for Intimate Theater for his work on The Tragical Comedy or Comical Tragedy of Mr. Punch, and although he did not walk away with a statuette last night, I think it bears repeating that we are all so SO proud of him and all the Rogues for producing such an amazing piece of theater. Hello?! We got a nomination on the very first year we applied!
Anyway, the ceremony was fantastic and included flying theater seats, very bizarre projections of giant disembodied heads making strange faces, Neil FREAKING Patrick Harris as emcee doing magic tricks, and a very touching speech by Terrance McFarland, Executive Director of LA Stage Alliance, about theater, the LA community and the changes coming to our country.
I also have to admit that I was a little star struck and did almost drool on Zach Quinto (Sylar from Heroes!)
Special thanks to Amy for making it out! I'm sad you missed the opening, but glad you saw at least a bit!
And, doesn't John look good in his suit?!<3 - Shannon
