“Are you happy in your work?” The song asks us to consider – and we believe Autolycus would say a resounding “YES!”
While we’re looking for JUST the song to overlay on some original footage from our case, enjoy this classic!

Time’s Monologue!
CLICK ON THE LINK! (Until we can get the video up on Vimeo, this may take a bit of finagling!)
The famous monologue from Time (Pete Shelton) – and integral plot device that tells us that we are now in Bohemia and 16 years into the future!
Although this type of device isn’t predominant in Shakespeare’s other work, it is an effective use of it!
And, in true, OAS NRV fashion, there has to be a bit of a lusty chase! 😉
We’re in Bohemia!
Kayla Smith, SarahBeth Roberts, Holland Crooke, Pete Shelton, and Bob Cogley whoop it up post rehearsal from playing in the first scene in Bohemia! Things are lighter already (sorry, Sicilia…) 🙂
“Oh how the bear mocked him!”
The Shepherd (Robert Smith) and Clown (Kayla Smith) look on to see the bear (Rocky Nunzio) attack Antigonus (Pete Shelton).
Bear temporarily being played by Kayla’s monkey hat, and Perdita/fairy gold being played by Kayla’s scarf.

Blocking the last scene of the play…
Here Myles Lawlor, Aisha Mitchell, Holland Crooke, Pete Shelton, and Bob Cogley share a laugh with director C. Glen Williams during the scene where the statue of Hermione comes to life!
Day One of “The Winter’s Tale”!
Here is our Clown (Kayla Smith); Dorcas (Dexy Ursano); Autolycus (Rocky Nunzio); and Mopsa (SarahBeth Roberts) with director C. Glen Williams rehearsing the integral ‘pedlar’ bit at the Shepherd’s house (yeah, we know it looks like rehearsal space, and not a set yet – it’s the first day!). Next time, we’ll try and post a video as it is very saucy and hilarious! We had a great time and we can’t wait to keep working on this show! We hope all days can be as great as this first, very auspicious start!
Rehearsals Start Tomorrow!
Winter is here!
The VT Students are back!
The Cast is raring to go!
Our first day of rehearsals start tomorrow evening – can you tell that we are excited?
We hope to post some pictures of the process soon. 🙂
