This summer is one that is going to be filled with changes and the beginning of a new adventure for Cindy and I. David and Kylie have been a part of our team for seven years. With the last show in Rockford, they are now moving on to begin their own business in Dallas. Yesterday, they finished packing everything in the truck and are on their way. I know they will do well but it’s never easy getting started.
Keith Barber is our new Production Manager and has been on the road with us now for a couple of months. He’s doing an outstanding job and is already re-working some of the technical aspects of the way we run the show. It’s all a positive step in the right direction.
Jim Steinmeyer has created some amazing new illusions in this current production that are also stepping up the show a notch. Audiences and critics have really taken note of the changes – both in the innovation and presentation of the magic.
We have also hired our new Technical Director, Nolan Brokamp. Some of you will remember that Nolan toured Asia with us this year. He’s worked with us several times, is familiar with our show, and is going to make a great addition to our team. He was in Lynchburg last week checking out apartments and will be moving here August 1 to start the job. Cindy and I are both very excited and look forward to having him with us full-time.
I leave for Singapore on Tuesday. Cindy and I are going to enjoy the Memorial Day weekend together and try to relax!
