ANOTHER YEAR IN THE BOOKS!
This past year proved to be a year of overcoming many challenges and bravely venturing into new territory!
GREETINGS
We worked hard to bring the charming play "Greetings!" by Tom Dudzick to the stage in November. We assembled a team in early 2018 and held auditions in June. After the crew was in place and the show was cast - we were then full steam ahead in to our production! It was worth all the hard work... GIG's production of Greetings! received rave reviews and was named one of the top ten Lehigh Valley productions of 2018 by The Morning Call!
FINALLY FILMING
Perhaps not everyone is aware, but Global impACTORS Group was created as a production company - which produces staged productions as well as film projects. GIG had ventured into many videos before, but we finally took the plunge into film this year!
After we wrapped Greetings! we began a new adventure. On December 6th through the 10th GIG produced, wrote, cast, and fully edited a short 12-minute film titled, The Eyes Have It. This film was created for the 100 Hour Film Race. This competition is an annual event where film teams across the world compete by incorporating three surprise elements: a theme, a prop, and an action. The surprise elements are given out as the 100 hours kicks off and all the teams race to complete a film before time runs out.
We had the honor of having Geoffrey Ciani and Scott Hackett of NJ join some of our GIG team to complete the film. GIG's Technical Director, Chad Boushell stepped up to direct the short film. Tesia Nicoli wrote the script and played the character of "Lainie." GIG regulars Kathy Patterson, Rachel Williams, Jada Makenzi, and Alexander Campbell also played various roles in the film. Round One judges submitted their results and GIG's film was selected as a FINALIST! Our film will premiere at the Screening and Awards Ceremony in Marietta, Georgia on March 13, 2019. We'll keep you posted!
THANK YOU VOLUNTEERS
As always, GIG couldn't do what we do without the help of our volunteers. Judith Evans, Stefan Goslawki, and Rachel Williams gave up extraordinary amounts of time to help GIG in 2018. Without these generous, kind people, GIG simply couldn't exist. Many more volunteers gave their time and talent to help GIG thrive and we would be absolutely lost without them. Thank you to everyone who helped GIG in 2018! We love and appreciate our volunteers!!!
AUDITIONS
The upcoming year will bring more surprises and challenges and we look forward to every moment. Auditions for our May production of the original play and regional premiere of Three Fortunes by Tesia Nicoli will be held on January 28 and 30, 2019. We also aim to bring you an exciting Halloween-themed play in October as well. Plus - look out for more film projects on the horizon. We are gaining momentum and just getting warmed up!
Wishing you an extraordinary, happy, healthy 2019! Please stay tuned in the New Year with more exciting announcements regarding GIG's upcoming events!
