Hudson River Festival
Some of the cast from River of Dreams performed selections from the show at the River Fest in Hudson, New York. It was thrilling to perform with the Half Moon as a backdrop right on the Hudson River. The cast recording was also offered for the first time. It has all of the songs from the show and if anyone would like to purchase the CD let us know at casey@gafest.com.
We will be performing again at the river festival in Coxsackie, NY on August 8 at 1 pm, and in Hunter, NY on August 29th at 4 pm.
Hudson River Festival

It seems that River of Dreams continues on.
The cast performed four songs from the show at the Catskill Point when the the flotilla of ships came by on June 11th.

Cast Recording!
Yesterday we recorded the cast album for the show.
We all came together in the theater with Frank Cuthbert, the composer, and Bobby his engineer
to sing all of the songs in the show. It was exhausting but thrilling. We had to do each song at least two or three times and may have to go into the studio to do some touch ups.
The CD will be available soon and if anyone wants a copy get in touch with casey@gafest.com and he will see that you get a copy.
The last three shows this weekend!!

We've Opened!
The last week has been very hectic and filled with anticipation.
Getting all of the rest of the props and puppets and the costumes and lights has been very exciting and confusing as well.
But on opening night everything went so well ( except for a few technical glitches) we got a standing ovation and have continued to every show we have performed.
The audience seems to love the music.
Saturday nigh Tara Sullivan who is the head of the entire Quadricentennial for the whole state came to the show and presented us with the official flag and gave each cast member an official gold 400th pin.
Some people are coming back to see the show more than once.
We did a "talk back" after Sunday's show and the audience asked some great questions that we got to answer. Hudson and Frank and David joined us on stage to answer questions as well.
This week we are recording the cast album!
