IRTE 2014: Say "hello" to Curt Dixon!

The new year is here and with it a new season of shows for IRTE!  We have an exciting, fresh new line-up of shows and a couple of not-so-new faces joining our ranks this season!  So say "hello" to the 2014 cast!

Returning as a regular cast member this season is the lovely and talented Curt Dixon!  Curt is a founding member of IRTE and we're thrilled to have him with us again this season!  We sat down with Curt for a chat.

What do you love most about IRTE?

 

My fellow IRTE members of course.  I get really excited every season to create such unique shows with this amazing group of folks.  Each year is getting better and better.


 

What are your thoughts on this season's cast?


I can't imagine a more talented bunch of folks to play with.  I'm amazed at the level of talent in this group.  Everyone is so creative and we work very well with one another.  Plus the commitment everyone has to the group is awesome.  We're all busting our butts to put on the best shows possible.

 

 

What are some memorable moments from last season? 

 

So many!  I loved the way our shows developed.  Interludes was especially fun to discover.  I felt it really grew organically as we progressed and we had some great scenes in that show.  And I was super happy that my friend Rainblo was able to do makeup for vIRTEgo Circus.  He's incredibly talented and we all looked awesome!  Of course going to New Orleans was super fun and a wonderful bonding experience for the group.


Who are some of your favorite IRTE characters?

You can't beat the Groovy Gang.  All of those characters worked incredibly well together.  And the weird collection of misfits in Interludes made for some very strange and crazy scenes.


 

What are you most looking forward to this season?

I can't decide which show I'm most excited about.  We've put together such a variety of shows it's going to be fresh and new throughout the season.  And it's going to be fun to step off of the stage and direct Small Claims.


Thanks Curt!  We're thrilled to have you back with us this season!
