Lights Up 10/07/2010
 
Welcome!

 Yes, friends, Santa Paula Theater Center has been working hard in recent times to catch up with the modern world. We’ve started putting out an email newsletter, launched a gorgeous new Website, started a Facebook page, and now, at long last, we bring you this, the official SPTC Blog. Welcome to the future, theater lovers. It is bright indeed. 

The blog gives us a less structured and more colorful means of reaching out from the Web and giving you the community the opportunity to know more about us. Of course our regular updates through all other above-mentioned channels will continue, but expect updates from this blog to give additional context and personality to the proceedings. There’ll be a whole host of articles coming down the pipeline very soon, but we also want to hear from you. This being a proper Web 2.0 weblog with comments, you have the ability to weigh in on the proceedings. Let us know what you think, what your experiences have been, and especially what you’d like to learn more about. We’ll be happy to make this blog responsive to your questions and interests. 

My name is Peter Krause, and for now at least I’ll be your guide around here. I’ve been involved with SPTC off and on since the summer of 1997, when I came on board to run lights for Laughter on the 23rd Floor. I went on to tech for several more productions, and eventually got onstage in 2000, appearing first in The Diary of Anne Frank. These days I also serve on the board. If you’re a long-time audience member, you’ve likely seen me at some point running up to the tech booth, appearing on the stage, or, in one of the rare instances that Leslie Nichols is actually watching a show at another theater, perhaps even giving one of our warm and welcoming preshow speeches. Also, I’m the guy freaking out in the picture gracing the top corner of this page (for context, my dear friend and fellow SPTC devotee Andrea Robles and I were improvising a scene set on a Ferris wheel as part of SPTC’s wildly successful 25th anniversary celebration). I hope we’ll be seeing a lot more of each other. Now give me a moment and I’ll go write some real content. 

Back in a jiff.
