A season over, The Pedros await…

It started four months ago, this spring-musical season, and now it’s over. Sixty-one high musicals, hundreds of interviews, scores of videos.
I thought I’d offer you a chance to relive the past four months, show by show. I also encourage you to check out www.lohud.com/localtheater and check out the Building Character videos. Look on the right side of the page for the video-camera icon and click on it. Then you can scroll down and see how other actors and actresses approached the roles they played this year. They’ve had challenges, to be sure, but they rose to them.
But just because the Tonys and High School Theater Awards have had their say, with their nominations, don’t think that the theatrical-awards season is over yet. The second annual Pedro de Baca Gutierrez Remember the Alamo Kramer Awards — affectionately known as “The Pedros” — will be handed out very soon. Unlike those other awards, there will be no controversy and no actual award: Merely a mention of gratitude on this humble little blog.
Look for The Pedros here soon. In the meantime, read on about the season that was.
