Here’s a poster we drew for Angel Street, the play opening tomorrow night (Halloween) in Sparta. It’s based on the old movie Gaslight, where Charles Boyer tries to convince his new wife, Ingrid Bergman, she’s crazy. We used an actual gas flame for the lamp illustration and found the gradient made a nice, spooky evening background, also.

Plan to join us and the Alleghany Community Theatre at 8:45pm – NO ADMISSION charged, but mainly for adults- not really a kid’s event.

Alleghany Production Brings Down (to Help Rebuild) the House!

The Trojan Playmakers’ production of Uncommonly Noble, a brand new play by Cheri Choate, was a successful fundraiser for the newly-renovated Alleghany Community Auditorium, April 28th. ISI helped with graphics including logo design, flyers, TV slides, programs and DVD art.

If you missed it, the show was video taped by Charlie Scott of Alleghany Community Television and will be broadcast later this month on Alleghany Cablevision and Skybest TV. Imaging Specialists is currently working on titles and credits for the TV production. DVDs will be available.

This production was a real home-grown project. The Playmakers collaborated with many area businesses and organizations to assist the Friends of the Auditorium in their efforts to rebuild and repurpose the old Sparta School Auditorium.

Making it all look easy was a cast and crew of hard working area elementary, middle and high school students who (we’re sure) will be involved with many more such productions.

Among those who donated time and effort were Director- Dyani VanHoose, Producer-  Jeremy Halsey and Alleghany Community Theatre, Appachian Woodwright, James Maynard, local craftsman, Gracen Lucas, Mary Jane Watson from A Perfect Image Hair Design who helped with makeup, Chris Davis of Studio Redwood– sets and set design, Paula Joines of Wilkes County Theatre– wardrobe, Ashe Community Theatre, Shelley Williams- costumes, Bill Troiani- sound, Jim Williams- lights and the Production’s Sponsor, Alleghany County Schools.

Imaging Specialists is proud to be a part of this extraordinary production by Cheri and her Trojan Playmakers.
