The
Northern Border's Production Team headed over to the Brattleboro Museum this evening for a staged reading of the
Northern Borders working script. Lead by veteran theater and film actor Munson Hicks, Marlboro College Theater Professor Brenda Foley and Marlboro student Logan Smith the reading went smoothly. Brattleboro High School student, Irene Shamas, also participated, playing both Cleopatra Kittredge and Hettie Hill, the role she'll be playing in the film. Cast members also included Film Intensive and Marlboro College students. Professor Jay Craven, who read the stage directions, explained that the purpose of the staged reading was not only to give the community a better sense of the project but also to examine how fluid the language of the script is when actually taken off the page and put into a characters mouth. With only a rare stumble in the reading the script seems to be in good shape. The Film Intensive team will meet today (February 16) to review script notes and further expand the dialogue.
Stay tuned.
