Behind the scenes with the Pinedale Community Theatre

November 20, 2008

Since August, members of the Pinedale Community Theatre have been toiling with auditions, costumes, sets, posters and more for the culminating event of the three-night production of its first musical production of "The Sound of Music" starting Thursday.

More than 100 locals are participating in the production by acting, playing instruments, singing, making costumes, applying makeup, styling hair, moving set pieces, creating programs, reading lines, and helping where they can.

PCT brought in John Goss of Aspen, Colo., to direct the production with David Dyer, also of Aspen, Colo., serving as the conductor for this maiden musical of the PTC.

The curtain is set to rise Thursday night at 7 p.m. for the opening show, with encore performances on Friday and Saturday at the Pinedale High School Auditorium.
