The Shelter : photo gallery from the ritual zombie apocalypse
For those who attended The Shelter’s party this past weekend(May 11th) here’s a cool gallery of photos I promised you! If you didn’t attend and live in the Atlanta area, here’s what you missed…see you next time!
The Ghost Brothers Of Darkland County
I’m actually speechless! For those who know me, that doesn’t happen often. Tuesday night at Atlanta’s beautiful Alliance theater I experienced a little slice of heaven served up red hot!
I’m making a reference to the The Ghost Brothers of Darkland County musical written by the master of horror Stephen King with the legendary musical talents of John Mellencamp’s band. I understand Ghost Brothers Of Darkland County was 12 years in the making and apparently to the nearly sold out crowds and standing ovations, it was worth every minute.
I was fortunate to have two opportunities last night. The first, was interviewing the youngest actor in the musical Royce Mann before the show. (SEE INTERVIEW BELOW) The second of course, was experiencing the show. There isn’t simply enough space to go into great detail about the musical in this review or spoil it for those who haven’t seen it. Speaking of which…HURRY! the show ends this Sunday the 13th! http://alliancetheatre.org/Our-Plays/Now-Playing/Ghost-Brothers-of-Darkland-County.
Don’t miss Ghost Brothers of Darkland County. It’s an eerie and unearthly tale, entwined with a steady flow of chilling emotions.
Moving on, the energy, passion, and imagery were captivating. For a dark musical it was a pleasant surprise to find a consistent dose of dry humor provided by the devilish character playing “our inner voice”.
However I would be hard pressed to single out one actor or actress who was the star of the show. Each one brought their full talents to bear in two wonderful and entertaining acts. Half way through the show, I decided to see it again. Apparently from the conversations I over heard between the acts, I wasn’t alone. There were many second and third time viewers.
To sum up my review, kudos to the director Susan Bone and musical director T Bone Burnett along with the cast and crew. I’d also like to give another round of applause to John Mellencamp’s band.Their music was both inspiring as it was enjoyable. The Ghost Brothers Of Darkland County was a superb first class musical set in a first class theater. Every guest was made to feel right at home by the staff and volunteers of the Alliance. For those who don’t live in Atlanta, you must make it a point visit the Alliance. If you live in our great city and haven’t been to the Alliance lately you’re really missing out on some great performances.
Now, on to the interview with Royce Mann aka young Joe. Enjoy.
