Welcome to the Arden Theatre Company blog, where we share behind-the-scenes stories and current happenings with you. You will hear from the Arden staff as well as actors and other visiting artists, and we hope to hear from you, too. If you have an idea for a topic, please post a comment about it. We can't wait to hear what you think!
By Steve Pacek, the Mouse in If You Give a Mouse a Cookie
We’ve got just under two weeks left of our run of If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, so you still have time to come back and see the show again! Or if you haven’t seen it yet, make sure you get your ticket so you don’t miss it!
I have to say that if you suffer from lower back pain, like I do on occasion, you really should look into doing the mouse workout. I never would have thought that running and jumping around so much on stage would help my back. I was actually afraid it would hurt it more, but it hasn’t! Exercise enthusiasts talk about the benefits of strengthening your core and I am now a firm believer. I have to start devising my workout plan for after the show is over…
People have been asking if we are going to do any of the other stories in the series. I know Davy and I would both LOVE that, but we’ll just have to wait and see.
And since this is my last post during the run of the show, I want to thank everyone who has been to the theatre and shared your laughter and applause and feedback with us! It’s been such a great run! And I look forward to seeing you at the Arden next season because I just found out yesterday that I’ve been cast as Spiller in The Borrowers! Till then…
Have a great summer!
