Bad News and Good news

10/19/2011

In April of 2011, Teaching Artist of drama and vocal music ROBERTO WILLIAMS approached TAPCO High School Sophomore drama student ANDREW DAVIS FELIZ about an idea to produce a Superman stage play for the school.  With his strong resemblance to Daily Planet reporter Clark Kent, Mr. Feliz appeared to be a natural for the role.  Mr. Williams advised his student that the planned stage play would likely be an expensive school production and that it might be difficult to convince the school Principal of its "educational merits".  Consequently, this would be a long-term project, likely produced during Andrew's senior year at the school. If the school's principal declined to authorize production of the play, then production would proceed independently of the school system, for performance at an outside venue.

Mr. Williams has spent the summer researching the costs associated with the rental and operation of a flying harness rig for Superman.  Sadly, these costs have proven to be beyond the financial means of the production. That is the bad news.

The good news is that in a conversation held earlier today at the school, Mr. Feliz and Mr. Williams have mutually agreed that abandoning the idea for a superhero stage play is NOT an option!  Having produced a student BATMAN film back in 1988, Mr. Williams suggested that perhaps the world of Gotham City could be brought to the stage in a student production.  With The Batman NOT being a flying, super-powered character, the logic is that this exorbitant flying rig cost can be avoided altogether.  In addition, Mr. Williams is still in possession of the original costumes that he fabricated 23 years ago for his student film!  He is confident that sprucing them up for the play should be no trouble at all (saving even more money on costume fabrication),  and plans can move forward for an exciting comic book stage play with minimal expense!  Stay tuned...
