DREAMS IN THE WITCH HOUSE -Biological Effects

By J David Moeller


Fraser Coffeen created the "biological effects" -the blood splatter, squirts, oozes and gushings- for the show. He's been involved with such work for quite a while, having had his guts removed, been beaten with chains, shot, etc., all on stage in front of witnesses.

Ron Kuzava (as Brown Jenkins) does his
part in spreading the gore around the stage
.

Dani McKenzie pre-loads a device to deliver some blood.


Fraser Coffeen mixes some of his super secret home recipe
that'll soon be coating somebody after a beheading, slashing,
disembowelment, pummelling or gnashing.

DREAMS IN THE WITCH HOUSE -The 2 Kesiah Masons

By J David Moeller

Carolyn Klein is Kesiah Mason, the witch. So is Michaela Petro, only Michaela is the understudy. Carolyn is in rehearsals for the Scottish play opening January 2 at Chicago Shakespeare. She must be in rehearsals the final two Sundays of our run, thus giving over the role to Michaela, an equally accomplished actress I appeared with in "The Great God Pan" earlier this year. Carolyn and I were in "Scenes From the Big Picture" just prior to "Dreams..."

"Dreams in the Witch House" closes December 21, 2008.
