RFC 56.5: CYAC Presents “Mary”

November 26, 2008 by rudy panucci

Just last night, as I write this, I attended a rehearsal for the 12th production by CYAC of the Dan Kehde/Mark Scarpelli musical “Mary.”  I had the RFC cameras with me, and less than twelve hours later, you get to see and hear two songs from “Mary”-the show opener, “Spin,” and the song that ends the first act, “Lord Of Mercy.” Chances are you’ll get to see at least one more song from last night’s session on our Christmas show in a few weeks.

This is another “half episode” of Radio Free Charleston, stripped down to just the music, so you can get a taste of this wonderful show before it starts its run.

“Mary” is a fun example of locally-created musical theater, and for the full info the show, which opens in two days, follow the jump.

Sunday Evening Video: RFC 55.5

What you see below is an exercise in guerrilla film-making.  This mini-episode of Radio Free Charleston (number 55.5, for those of you scoring at home) was assembled in less than four hours.  This morning, using footage shot October 25 at the RFC Halloween Party at the La Belle Theater, I cut the two music videos, featuring Captain Crash and The Beauty Queen andStephen Beckner.

After that, I rounded up Melanie Larch, RFC’s resident diva and camera person, and headed to the State Capitol.  We shot the host segments, had brunch at The Bluegrass Kitchen(sitting in a booth next to Congressional hopeful Anne Barth) and then I dropped Mel off at her home and came back to Stately Radio Free Charleston Manor to finish the show.
