Reflection by Shepard Sobel

Posted in General on August 19th, 2009 by Aschwartzbord – 2 Comments

We started The Pearl with a typewriter and carbon paper, 1000 index cards, a reel-to-reel tape recorder, and for dimmers, two six-packs of auto-transformers, the heaviest machinery ever produced by man with the single exception of some German expressionist plays.

I never thought my last act as artistic director would be to write a blog posting.

I do not believe that the good old days are the best of days.  I believe the best is yet to come.

But one can’t help but be a little bit wistful, can one?

Jim:  I am pleased to present you with a 10-station computer network, digitalized sound system, a legion of Source Four instruments with the circuitry and control system to make them hum.

Let me re-state all of the above.

We started with a wonderful cry of players and the best plays ever written.  I am pleased to present you with the very same.

I have loved every minute.

Welcome to The Pearl Theatre Company’s blog!

We believe that theatre only happens when the company and audience connect, so we have created this open forum talk about the plays and our productions.

In the upcoming months we will be posting our thoughts and ideas and we hope to hear from you! Please check back soon for more information.
