@BWW_Nashville Twitter Held Hostage, Day 7: SARA KISTNER

Join the lovely and talented - and completely off-her-rocker, but in a completely entertaining and intriguing way - Sara Kistner as she takes you backstage, onstage, offstage and beyond with the cast and crew of The Larry Keeton Theatre's Daddy's Dyin'...Who's Got the Effin' Will? today as part of her Takeover of @BWW_Nashville Twitter. As we understand it, there's a dream ballet sequence that cannot be missed! Plus, she'll share insider information on how to get $10 show-only tickets tonight and tomorrow (essentially, you show up at the door and say, "Gimme them cheap tickets!").

The Takeover of @BWW_Nashville's Twitter account continues unabated. Yesterday, Matthew Hayes Hunter, the 2012 First Night Most Promising Actor who took to the stage of Murfreesboro's Center for the Arts last evening to play Seymour Krelbourn, the geeky shopboy who brings the monstrous Audrey II to life in the musical Little Shop of Horrors, after wresting control from Lipscomb University's Hunter Martin who kept things moving on Thursday in anticipation of LU's Senior Theatre Showcase on Saturday.

This may be why we're always issued these dire warnings about keeping our passwords secret: Anyone, or so it would seem, can gain control of your social media accounts and post willy-nilly whatever strikes their fancy!

It all started Friday, April 21, when playwright Tori Keenan-Zelt took control, then Belmont University Musical Theatre senior Katie Bays grabbed her brass ring, as it were, on Monday and took us along with her and her merry band's BUMT Senior Showcase at the Laurie Beechman Theatre in NYC - and since then it's been one artsy-fartsy type after another: On Tuesday, Clarksville's Roxy Regional Theatre's Ryan Bowie gave us a sneak peek at their upcoming [title of show], which also opens tonight; Molly Dobbs of Cumberland County Playhouse's Million Dollar Quartet commandeered Wednesday to take us backstage in Crossville; and so on and so forth, as you have probably noted. We are sensing a trend.

And our circuitous journey continues today when Sara Kistner, the assistant stage manager of The Larry Keeton Theatre's Daddy's Dyin'...Who's Got the Will takes over, followed by the cast and crew of Street Theatre Company's John and Jen on Sunday. Traditionally, the theater is dark on Monday so we will allow Twitter to languish in obscurity on that day. Then Nashville Ballet's Julia Eisen takes the reins on Tuesday to give us a tease of what to expect from 7 Deadly Sins, premiering next Friday night. Patrick Kramer, of Wild CaRD Productions and 12,000 local productions of Lucky Stiff since 2008 - wait, you mean there were only two? - takes up the challenge on Wednesday and then the lovely and talented Joanna and Daniel Hackman, two of the stars of Chaffin's Barn Dinner Theatre production of Beau Jest, get behind the wheel just in time for their two-show day next Thursday! And on Friday, May 5, the cast, crew and what-not of Distraction Theatre takes over, trumpeting the opening night of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare opening that very night.
