How I Learned to Drive

The McCoy Theatre's production of Paula Vogel's Pulitzer Prize-winning play How I Learned to Drive opens this weekend at Rhodes College. The show begins at 7:30 p.m. and runs for an hour and a half. The shows run lasts from Friday, February 15th to Saturday, February 16th, and again from Thursday, February 21st to Sunday, February 24th. Anyone near Memphis should come!

My work on my CAP project has really picked up in the last two weeks. We are currently distributing t-shirts for promotion. We are going to re-build the McCoy triangle on the lawn outside of Palmer again and have giant posters to place in the three corners. Our promotional video will be running the Refectory on campus beginning tomorrow at lunch, and it should be posted on the Rhodes website tomorrow as well. You can watch it for yourself by clicking HERE
(you will need quicktime in order to watch this). I must give huge thanks to Katie Bryant who shot the footage, Dr. Dave Mason for helping with the editing, and to the cast for taking time outside of rehearsal to put this together. We felt that a video preview would give students the opportunity to see what they will be coming to see. I think it will be a success.

I have also been in contact with the Women's Center and they will be sending two first responders to each of our Saturday performances. These women will take part in our post-play discussion following the show and will also be there if anything audience members see makes them feel like they need to speak to someone.

It has been a busy and productive week on the CODA front. I'll update next week about how opening weekend went!
