HOOD RIVER — “Ordinary Days,” a four-player musical from teen production group Theatre CamilleLynne (TCL), will premiere at Columbia Center for the Arts (CCA) on April 3 and run for two weekends.
Set in New York City, the play follows four characters, Claire (Cady Ronning), Jason (Caden Tubbs), Warren (Mack Yasui), and Deb (Siva Dassel), exploring how their ordinary lives connect in the most amazing ways.
“I think it’s easy to focus on and make our entire lives about the big, significant moments,” said director Tay Lynne. “The real challenge, though, is loving and reminding ourselves of all the ordinary times: when we had dinner with a friend, a walk with your dog...it’s these moments that I found myself focusing on as I worked on this show.”
Lynne’s brother and music director Duncan Krummel brought “Ordinary Days” to the table — an apt pick considering their mid-rehearsal spine replacement and the show’s lack of strenuous-to-direct dance numbers.
“Knowing these four actors could be the professionals we all needed while I was in the hospital really made it all worthwhile,” Lynne said. “It also meant I could come back and witness these everyday little moments for not only the characters, but the actors too.”
Founded by Lynne, TCL is one of CCA’s resident theatre companies; its previous shows include “Ride the Cyclones” and “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.”
Born from Lynne’s experiences in Hood River’s theatre community, TCL supplies age-appropriate acting opportunities for local teens outside the high school setting; despite its prominence in town, the scene lacked substantial roles for teens beyond children’s shows.
TCL casts ages 12-20 and works hard to keep its productions exclusively teen-performed and teen-run (minus the director). From workshops to feature-length productions, the company offers young talent a chance to grow and pursue roles in shows with more mature themes.
Tickets for “Ordinary Days” are available at theatre-camillelynne.com.
