Some of you might be wondering where we disappeared to (and some of you might have given up coming to this site, tired of seeing the same blog posts). We were hiding in the Shadows for that last month, and have only emerged now.
Okay, I will stop writing cryptically. From March to May we were busy with our musical, The Shadows of Grossmunster. May was particularly a month of madness, as we scrambled to build the set, last minute rehearsals, did the cast recording, figured out lighting, costume changes, make-up, hair, and set changes (and figuring out when to eat, and where to eat that is not Tim Horton’s AGAIN) and trying to sleep somewhere in there.
All 6 of our shows sold out weeks in advance, and we even squeezed a few more people into every show. I couldn’t have asked for a better cast, and people to fit the individual roles more adequately. I’ve never experienced more let downs and blessings in such a short period….the blessings FAR exceeding the downfalls. We experienced such selflessness, such patience and kindness, and such talent!
Only now can we look back and feel a sense of accomplishment, only now allowing the excitement and wonderment to sink in. Cause during the month of May, we just wanted to get through it, we just wanted to not be stressed all the time. To put it bluntly, we just wanted to get it over with. Now that we’ve caught up on sleep, we saw the light at the end of the tunnel and have come back into the light from the Shadows.
Now for some advertising:
-CD’s of the original cast recording are available through us for $20.00/each (shipping included). Just email us at shadows@grossmunster.com with the amount you want, your name, phone number and address.
-For those of you who missed the show and wish to see it, or who saw it and want to see it again and again, DVD’s are also available of the entire show for $20.00/ each (shipping included). Just do the same as above.
-Plaques and posters are also available of the commissioned painting The Shadows of Grossmunster. For more information about that, go to www.grossmunster.com under the section titled “Extra”.

If you’re wondering if it’ll be around again, we hope so. We plan to have it published and available to the public before we leave in September for South Korea. Oh yeah…that’s a whole other kettle of fish. I better save that for another blog post.
