Hi everyone,
I am in search of a special effects – weapons specialist. I am directing a production of DEATHTRAP that opens January 17th. Besides gun fire, there is strangulation with a garrote, being shot with a crossbow and stabbing by arrow. So in other words lots of blood.
Please contact me if you are interested and capable of handling this SE design.
Thanks

Newport
Directed by Mike Fielder
Music directed by Shawn Charton
Cast: Julie Wacksman, Ashley Boehm, Sarah Gravely, Robert Breslin, Steffon Whorton & Sean Mize
As the year comes to a close and a disenchanted young man decides to skip a New Year’s Eve party and instead picks up a copy of Hans Christian Anderson’s THE LITTLE MATCH GIRL, he is transported to a lace where the smallest things can be miraculous. Musical trio Groove Lily wrote this play as a holiday concert event and have been entertaining audiences with it for years.
Now Falcon will bring the wonderful music and heat warming tale to life for the holiday season. Our production will feature live musicians, actors and marionettes as we weave this beautiful story.

There is a flurry of activity at the North Pole. Santa and Mrs. Claus, the elves, the reindeer, the forest animals and even the toys themselves prepare for the biggest night of the year! It takes a lot of planning and hard work to get a sleigh off the ground and deliver toys to children around the world, but Santa’s team is ready and willing. Or at least they think they are before a tricky Jack Frost decides to try to stop the Christmas Festivities with a little comical chaos and calamity.
