Gloriana News
Rock On! Broadway Will Finish Gloriana's 2010 Season in November
Gloriana's fourth and final show of this very successful 2010 season will run for two weeks in November. It will feature a selection of rock songs written specifically for Broadway shows. Many of the classic rock songs you know so well came from Broadway but there are many other very good songs you might not have heard.
This show will follow in the tradition of last year's smash hit, Way Off! Broadway. More details will be
available soon.
La Cage Aux Folles Wins Tonys®, Has Successful Run Here!
This year's Main Stage production was 3-time 2010 Tony Award® winner (including Best Revival of a Musical)
La Cage Aux Folles, a hilarious musical with stunning production
numbers, played to standing ovations every performance in Fort Bragg. We hope you got a chance to see this very special
show they will be talking about for years!
Alice In Wonderland Concludes Successful Run
Gloriana's Young Performers Production of Disney's Alice In Wonderland, Jr drew full
houses for its three week run this past spring. Countless kids have had the experience of a lifetime, performing a first-class
musical on the Gloriana stage.
Gloriana Needs Your Help
Did you know that tickets sales do not cover all the costs of putting on our shows? La Cage Aux Folles is an especially expensive production.
We rely on your generous donations to cover our expenses. Won't you help us by contributing what you can to keep us afloat?
Gloriana Is A Performing Arts Organization and More
If you are a visitor to Northern California and the Mendocino Coast be sure attend a Gloriana event, after spending the day
wine tasting at the world class wineries found in Mendocino County, or after a day of recreation on our beautiful coast.
But as you visit one of our shows, either as a tourist, or as a local, you should know that we are also a community resource.
We have children's and adult workshops and we mount an annual youth-oriented musical. So as you travel to this beautiful tourist
destination, remember that entertainment is only part of our mission.
Behind the Scenes
Have you ever wondered what work goes into the shows you see?
Planning for a show often starts more than a year before it opens. The artistic committee must read many scripts, decide on a show, and hire a producer and a director. Then the producer must sign a contract with the rights-holder. For most shows we must pay royalties of more than $5000, many months before the show opens. The producer must come up with a detailed budget for the show and the Board must approve it. It is the producer's responsibility to make sure the many different parts of the budget remain under the allocated expenses. And all the many positions required to put on the show must be staffed.
After auditions, and the show is cast, there are four to six weeks of music rehearsals, usually twice a week, with the music director and an accompanist. If there is a lot of dancing in the show, then there might be additional dance rehearsals with the choreographer...
