The cast of Much Ado
I was rejected by the Phoenix Library with my idea of featuring my figure sketches from the past two shows done by our local "The Shakespeare Theatre" so, with two extra weeks and no costumes to work with, I decided instead of working to get all the actors in scenes, I would just forge ahead and do portraits. These are the 19 actors in the cast. I found the new Jerry's Artarama in Tempe and made simple black backgrounds and sleeved them in clear enveloped to hang on the wall of the lobby with the character and actors name below.
The actors have a sense of their characters but as they were all from rehearsal shots, I just post them, leads first and down the line...
These are the two couples.... the double are actually married in real life, the gentleman in the other couple is in ALL the shows, and I ran out of energy for him. BUT as the whole wall is the cast, he is my last project today.
