Director's Note

It was just over a year ago, at a round table meeting at Artistic Director/Board President Jerry Becker’s home, that I tossed out a roadmap for what would become the Hartford Players’ production of “The Rocky Horror Show.” Having directed large main-stage productions for multiple companies, I had a desire to work on a smaller, more intimate show (both on stage, and off). Amid logistical and artistic proposals, I distinctly remember pitching the idea of a non-auditioned show. “We have the most talented friends in Southeastern Wisconsin.” And it’s true. The talent involved in tonight’s performance are some of the most amazing individuals I have ever worked with, both on-stage and off. Their passion for the art of theatre drives every single performer and tech person involved in “Rocky.” While everyone involved has a bond of friendship, we are so excited to invite you to be a part of our theatre family this evening. The interactive nature of this show means that you join us in a uniquely active way in this space. This is a place of entertainment, acceptance, and community; so thank you for your support of live theatre, and welcome to the family.

– David P. Pecsi
