Scallywag Theater - jim barnard

After nearly 2 years in the making, Mr Magic reached it's World Premiere last Tuesday, 24th Feb 2009 in Theater Bellevue, Amsterdam. And was a fackin Triumph! I had a lot of fun, the audience had a lot of fun, so everyone was happy. Thanks to all of you who came to see one of the shows, and a special thanks to Ron who saw it twice, and my super girlfriend Kristina who came all three nights. Her love, support and patience throughout the long and often hard process was way Beyond The Call Of Duty. Special thanks to Markus Schnizer for not only the beautiful lights he designed for the show, but for all his production support and artistic advice. You're a frickin multi-talent, mate. Special thanks also to Henner Kleffel, who joined the project in it's darkest hour, taking on production responsibilities and being a general all-around rock-star. His hard work, commitment and reliability took an enormous workload offa me, allowing me to focus on making and rehearsing the show. Thanks also due to Sebastian and Adriaan, the unseen backbone of the PickUp. Without their support and belief in the project things woulda been a hell of a lot harder. Lastly thanks to my old mate Giles for coming out from London to see the show, and my mum and step-dad who came all the way from the Algarve. Respec.
