Guys and Dolls comes to Hokkaido!

I haven't mentioned it much on the blog, but many of you may have heard that I will be performing in an upcoming musical production here in Hokkaido. A bunch of us (mostly all ALTs-foreigners) from around Hokkaido are putting on our own production of "Guys and Dolls". We're called, Hokkaido Players (well the Japanese is more like: Hokkaido Playaz) and we've been working on this since about November of last year. And the performances start the week after next at three diffent locations around Hokkaido. We've been in the papers quite a few times now, and have been spreading the word via posters, friends, and our own mouths, so we should have a pretty good turnout. Of course, most of the audience will be Japanese, so we have added Japanese into the script in enough places (by our wonderful director) that anyone should be able to understand it. For example, something happens and then two random characters stroll in and say: "Oh, that thing just happened." in Japanese. Those of you who do know about this have been pestering me for pics from the practices, and stuff, so I have decided to partially oblige you.
Scott is the husband of one of the dolls acting in the play, and serves as the musical photographer, which he is very apt at. The three links below are to his site where photos he has taken are posted for our viewing.


Guys and Dolls: Muroran

Guys and Dolls: Shihoro

Guys and Dolls: Niikappu



The first on is from our Mururan rehearsal, second from our Shihoro rehearsal, third is from our Niikappu rehearsal. I haven't viewed all of these pics yet, so I must warn you that there could possibly be wierd or inappropriate photos or something, but they're most likely not of me. ;) I've added a link on the sidebar to Scott's Blog, but I'll also post it here, check it out, he posts lots of wonderful pics of Hokkaido, and is likely to also post interesting pics and stories about the musical on there.
