Richard Pepper's May 2004

Cambrian Players'
"Drinking Alone"
 by
Norm Foster
directed by
Gabe Ferrazzo
May 5 - 8
at
The Bora Laskin Theatre
Lakehead University Faculty of Education
and
May 22
as part of the
Theatre Ontario Festival
 in
Sault Ste. Marie

My role was Sound Design and Technician. We won awards for Best Actress, Set-Painting and Overall Visual Performance
(which I describe as "everything about the play, except the sound!").

I've realized that I really miss the days when Dorion Bible Camp used to send us to Camping Conferences. Finances have been tighter in recent years and it wasn't always possible to send all of the fulltimers, if any. (To be fair, the E.D. did discuss this with us and ask us to find alternate less expensive professional development opportunities which the Dorion Bible Camp would fund.)

I think God knows that I need this sort of thing from time to time and so has been providing by other means, such as a couple of years ago when I attended (sponsored by a local young couple) an IVCF Bible & Life Conference in Gimli MB -- and now this road trip.

So this trip was a little like the crazy camping conferences I used to attend -- except that we didn't play camp games in the hotel lobby (pretending to be chimps etc.). But I can easily imagine theatre people doing that sort of thing anyway! It probably happens more after hours and I just went to bed too early.

As I told Gabe (the Cambrian Pres) on the way back, I enjoyed (and have been enjoying over the last 3 years with CP) being part of a functional team that meets its goals (produces plays and stays in the black). Because my role is small and in the background, I can be fairly relaxed and simply do my bit -- observe from the others and learn, but not bear a lot of responsibility for the final outcome. The current leaders of CP strike me as amazingly competent and committed and so I can just relax, trust them and fit in where I can. Perhaps (I say "perhaps"), if I knew more, I'd worry more, but for now I am content.
