Proscenium Players, Inc. The PPI Board would like to thank you for your continued support of our wonderful group over the past year. 2011-2012 has been a very active year for PPI. In December we returned to the Brewery Arts Center with the production of “A Tuna Christmas.” It was great to light up the Maizie Harris-Jesse Theater with a production directed by one of PPI’s founders, Ms. Maizie Harris-Jesse herself. The cast had a great time and the staff at the BAC was absolutely wonderful to work with.

 

Our next production took us to the Gold Dust West Hotel and Casino for six performances of our 3rd Annual Murder Mystery Dinner Theater production titled “Dealt a Deadly Hand – Murder at the Carson City Casino Royale.” These production’s have been very successful each year and the staff at the Gold Dust West have been marvelous to our group, performers, and patrons. We are already looking forward to the next murder mystery production with the Gold Dust West.

 

Currently in rehearsal is PPI’s next production to be held at the BAC, “Twelve Angry Men.” This production is being directed by Jeff Fast and produced by Jonni Moon. We have a great cast for this production. It is a wonderful mix of long time PPI actors and newcomers to the group. Performances of this production will be at the BAC in the Maizie Harris-Jesse Theater on May 11th, 12, 13th, 18th, 19th and 20th. Tickets for this production can be purchased at the Brewery Arts Center.

 

 

 

On May 12th at 2012, PPI will be holding auditions for their August production “Steel Magnolias” which will also be held in the Maizie Harris-Jesse Theater at the Brewery Arts Center. This production is being directed by Silver State Charter School drama teacher, Abbey Gardner.

 

CALL FOR PRODUCTION PROPOSALS: The current Board is working hard to continue building our production relationship with the BAC which includes producing more shows in the space they have available. PPI is now accepting proposals from prospective directors/producers for productions for our 2012-2013 Season. Proposals must be submitted to the Board by the May Board meeting.

PPI IS MOVING THEIR ITEMS IN STORAGE ON SATURDAY, APRIL 28, 2012 AT 9:00 A.M. AND WE NEED YOUR HELP: For the past 3 years PPI has been storing their flats, costumes, props, set pieces, and sound and lighting equipment in 3 different locations. These locations were the Josten’s garage, storage units on Fairview Drive and in Carla Wilson’s barn. The Board is attempting to consolidate all of PPI’s items to one location while lessening the monthly costs of rental for storage. Carla Wilson has offered half of her barn to PPI for storage of all of these items. Carla’s barn is also equipped with lights and electricity and has space available for construction and storage of set pieces prior to the opening of a production. The Board has set the date Saturday, April 28th to make the move of PPI’s items in the storage units on Fairview to Carla’s barn. We will need to organize the items already in Carla’s barn and bring in all of the items from the 6 storage units we currently have. The more people we have the quicker this will go. Please do not leave this task solely up to the Board members. We could also use trucks and trailers to help us with this move. If you are available to help us on April 28th, please call Jonni Moon at 775-883-9386 and let her know. PPI will be provide lunch for the moving crew on this day.

 

Thank you again for all your support.
