Riddle Players Theatre Company

Well, you've met my friends at Touch-N-Go. Well, there's another awesome group of people who are absolutely awesome. They're called the Riddle Players Theatre Company. Today, we took a field trip to our storage unit, and saw all the fun things that are available for our upcoming production. Plenty of Flats, a door, tools and paint, costumes, make-up...yes, it was all there! We found lots of fun things in the costumes, and some strange hats, props, and even severed body parts. There's nothing quite like bursting into song with severed body parts and theatre people who can actually sing on key.



We arrived to the storage unit in three cars-for the six of us, including our awesome advisor Brian--who, fun fact, also advises the pep band.










Besides our advisor, there's Nathaniel, Matt, Ali (budget), Ethan, me, and a few others. We're such a fun group. Now when you see these photos, also imagine random bursting into song. That's how you know you're with the right group of people. Everyone in this group recognizes musical references. I always have so much fun because theatre is what I'm best at, and we speak the language. We're a small group, so we all help with everything in some way. There's always a job to do, an opinion needed. We listen to ALL ideas.








There was a treasure trove of things to see. I think we all let out a little gasp of excitement at the realization of all the fun things we had to work with.










Every production needs a baseball bat, a golf
club, and a funeral bouquet



Because no stage show is complete without a funeral bouquet
























We dressed up in costume, and shot each other with orange-tipped guns. After a stern warning from our advisor to not bring those things anywhere NEAR campus!!







Look at all these old scripts and playbills we found. As one person said, it was like a yearbook of all the things that Riddle Players has done.










We found ourselves some handy tools-that army bag was full of nuts and bolts we could use to put our sets together. We also found some paint-red and silver and beige. This white paint had actually hardened to a paste, which gave us a laugh!






On the stranger side, we found a fantastic 4 costume and a severed arm...












Look at all this cool stuff! Costumes, and makeup, decorative boards, makeup, drop-cloth, tools....


And at the end of the day, we all enjoyed a nice, cold drink. JUST KIDDING! Another awesome prop we found and had a good laugh over.











So that's Riddle Players Theatre company. With our production coming up in four to five short weeks, stay up-to-date on all the fun things this awesome group is doing right here!
