Cartoonist's Night at the Theater 3- Evita at Northern Stage

Wow, Northern Stage invited us back to sketch another performance! Unfortunately (or rather, fortunate for the students, but unfortunate for this event) this was the night after Lynda Barry's first writing class with the Center for Cartoon Studies. It's an (amazing) intensive program, and the students were there all day, so we didn't have a whole lot of a turnout for this performance.

But those that did make it got quite a show! I was really impressed by the performance, especially as this dress rehearsal we saw was the first time the cast had gone through the whole play, beginning to end.

Here's some quick watercolor sketches I did. Click on the thumbnails for a larger version.

Thanks again to Northern Stage for having us.
I'll post links to other people's sketches as they come in!

EDIT:
Sketches from Melanie Gillman! Loved her hilarious take on the show-
