The cast of Hell’s Bells - photo by Bob Souvorin
We’re now in our second week of Hell’s Bells. It’s really a lovely show and I’m so proud of the work Kyle and the cast is doing. I’m going on Sunday at 7pm on Nov. 11, so stop by if you want to say “hi.”
If you buy tickets online Donna at Voila Market Cafe will give you 20% off your meal through Nov. 18. Just bring in your print out receipt or ticket stub.
Creative Loafing gave us a nice shout-out and Curt Holman came opening weekend. I can’t really tell if he liked it or not (I have a hard time following his train of thought sometimes), but he had some really nice things to say:
“Savage Tree Arts Project’s Hell’s Bells resembles what a midnight gathering in the parlor of Anne Rice’s house must be like. Directed and adapted by Kyle Crew, Hell’s Bells presents readings and dramatized interpretations of creepy old poems, songs and stories, some dating back to before the 1830s. It’s like goth heaven, except goths probably don’t believe in heaven. … In the best visual effect, ‘The Demon of the Gibbet’ takes place entirely in silhouette against a deep-red background and eerily matches Fitz-James O’Brien’s account of a ghostly figure in a tree. The production also features some saving graces, such as Trautwein’s moody compositions and the singing of Kristina Baade, whose presence is at once ethereal and earthy.”

I hope you can join us. Just 7 more shows!
