Camden Civic Theatre’s 2011 season is in full swing. The rehearsal hall is echoing with the sounds of pirate dueling and lost boys’ antics in Neverland. Meanwhile, pre-production for melodramatic villiany is picking up stream as the train readies at the platform before heading to the crossroads. But the journey won’t end there! Time to start making plans for the next great adventure!
The CCT board is already preparing for our 2012 season. If you are interested in becoming more involved in the fun, please contact Kate Fletcher ( yaddo3@yahoo.com ) about joining our board of directors. Election of new board members occurs at our annual meeting, scheduled this year for Saturday, Sept. 17th.
Really want to be in the thick of things? Have an inclination to direct? At our annual meeting the membership also votes on the slate of shows for the coming season. The CCT board currently seeks play submissions to be considered for the 2012 season. Find a copy of our suggested play submission form under the heading “about” on this website . We must have submissions by August 12th in order to meet the by-laws deadline of announcing plays up for a vote at least 30 days before the annual meeting.

This is so much like parenting. I have been living with Stella and Stanley, Blanche and Mitch in my head for months. Safely cocooned within my imagination, a vision has been taking shape and taking on more and more definition as I work out my understanding of who these people are and what this story is all about. Now It’s time to bring those ideas forward. It’s time to stat making them real.
A producer will he to begin helping me to refine my vision to fit our bank account. A stage manager will help me discover staging challenges and how to overcome them. I am so fortunate to have Mary Ann Giasson and Kay Henderson to be with me in this process as we take the first steps toward bringing my version of Stella and Stanley, Blanche and Mitch to an audience.
Chris Glass, our set designer, has started turning rough scribbles into an apartment that will house these people and help to tell their story. Frank Booker, our lighting designer, is will be bring us our day and our night, our bright spots and our dark shadows. Rosie Speno, our sound designer, will set the tone and fill the spaces with music and the rush of trains. Michael Martineau, our costume designer, will give us all the image and style that will express the time and personality of each character.
This is the time to parcel out the responsibility of a shared vision, so we can each do our appointed jobs and make A Streetcar Named Desire come alive. It’s not just my baby any more.
