Alice Tucker hits the stage
Feb/100
Alice Tucker (center) played the role of "Alice" in A Country Wedding.
A Country Wedding actress Alice Tucker will be appearing in the Albany Civic Theater production of Paul Osborn’s Morning’s at Seven* in March.
Anyone involved with the film knows what a talented actress and all-around great person Alice is, so we’re thrilled to see her on the stage in a major role.
Here are the details:
Morning’s at Seven
by Paul Osborn Directed by Leigh Matthews Bock
March 5, 6, 12, 13, 14(m), 18 19, 20, 2010 at 8 p.m.
Sunday matinees (m) 2:30 p.m
“Morning’s at Seven” is a comedy about the intertwined relationships of the four aging Gibbs sisters. The quiet lives these women share with their husbands start to unravel as they begin to question what to do with their remaining years. Tensions rise when Ida’s 40year-old son brings his fiancée of 12 years to the house for the first time.
This charming portrait of small town America in 1938 was revived on Broadway in 1980 and in 2002 to critical acclaim. What makes this beautifully colored, sharply etched family portrait so delightful is the understanding that laughter and tears go hand-in-hand as responses to everyday life.

Da Vinci Film Fest screening
Feb/100
We’ve got a date and time for the premiere of A Country Wedding. It will be Saturday, March 13, 2010 at the LaSells Stewart Center on the OSU campus. It’s a big auditorium, so there should be plenty of room.
Make sure you follow the DaVFF on Facebook so you can find out the latest details on the event. We’re lucky to be in a town that supports independent films.
Great location
Feb/100
It seems that we weren’t the only ones to latch on the Fiechter House in the Finley Wildlife Refuge as an amazing location to shoot a film. A Portland Filmmaker, Edward Davee, set his film there, too. The old farm house is perfect for his early 1900′s period piece, shot in 16mm in black and white. Looks like it should be a fantastic film when it’s finished.
And here’s a still of the Fiechter house from when we were scouting locations for a place to use as Jake’s house. Of course, we decked it quite differently than Davee’s film, with empty cans of Pabst strewn across the porch, broken lawn chairs, a cooler and pairs of old boots. Not to mention Rhett the dog.
