Just before Christmas I was commissioned to do some photographs of Cayla for a theater production she’s in. Seems like the East Coast has finally caught up with the west. The requirement used to be straight-on black and white photos – mug shots really. Now its either color or black and white, the personality of the subject is expected to come across in the photograph, and the deer-in-the-headlight stare directly into the camera is out.
Cool!
Cayla has one of the leads – she’s Rapunzel in the Stephen Sondheim- James Lapine production of Into The Woods. The musical features a conglomeration of fairy tale characters – Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, The Baker and his wife, Jack and the Beanstalk, Rapunzel…and of course, an ugly and wicked witch.It’s playing at Seacoast Repertory Theater in Portsmouth, NH Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from January 8-24.
I’ll be there – and according to Cayla’s Mom, it shouldn’t be missed. Never argue with the mother of an actress – get tickets and go! More information can be had at Seacoast Rep’s website, www.seacoastrep.org.
Here’s Cayla.
