I have a few addictions. One of them is coffee shops. If you are connected to me on Facebook or IG, that comes as no surprise. I also have a weak spot for coats and pajamas. If I have to shop for anything, those would be what a I want first (I hate shoe shopping. Go figure). But, one of my biggest addictions is behind the scenes stuff. I love, love, love having access to places most people don't get to see. I've been friends with people in a few well known bands and I'm stupidly happy when I get that lanyard that gives me backstage access. I love being able to walk into the theater to drop Peyton off for his call time when he's in a show. I don't know what it is but I think those times/places can be even cooler than the finished product/show, though I love that part too. So, it could not have been a more perfect job for me when The Mercury Theater reached out to see if I was available to come and photograph rehearsal for about an hour for a new show in the works. The fact that the cast was rehearsing in the rehearsal space and not the theater made it even cooler. See below for a behind-the-scenes peek into preparing for a world premiere opening of a brand new musical, called "The Man Who Murdered Sherlock Holmes."
Previews start on January 20th and it runs through March 20th.
