Basically, this show was the opening, premiere show of Scenes. It has a plethora of information in and around the internet, and yet nothing on the actualy PTP website. I insisted on using this piece though because it is what everything involving Scenes is based upon.

The Hudson Guild Theatre, 441 West 26th St., NYC

Directed by Zander Teller

Lighting designer-Joe Novak

Rivera-Julia Beardsley O’Brien

Galactia- Elena McGhee

From the sounds of it, this show was acted with extreme precision. The critic gives me the idea that maybe the script is weak but was compensated by a tremendous cast. I think the director's concept was "incredible acting quality."

Every time I thought I was finding something out about this show it wound up in a dead end. But it happened!

This was a show that has a similar set design to one that I found from a designer online who didn't give much information. But the set really looks like an artist's work place with splatters on the walls and floor. I like the idea of a professor playig Galactia, just because she would probably have the age and maturity to play a part such as Galactia.

I used this production mainly because the review that I got the information from seemed to understand the script and therefore the production. The play was set up into intentions, groups that help certain opinions, and gave reference to a time. So certainly the reviewer understood all of that because the play was portrayed well.
