This is the last flashback to Nebraska Repertory's 2012 Season. NRT's third show of the season was God of Carnage by Yasmina Reza. I chatted with Dennis Henry (who played Michael) about what he remembered most about being in the production. His response matched up with my strongest memory, and that is of the vomit scene. Dennis went on to expand that it was a pretty intensive part of the production between bringing in guest technicians to help design a machine that could projectile vomit, figuring out the perfect mix of ingredients to get the right look, and then figuring out how to disguise the machine so that when Annette (played by Sasha Dobson) threw up, it looked believable. Then, for the actors, there was also the on-stage clean-up that had to happen every performance. The moment always got a huge response of laughs, gasps, and a little bit of turning green. I forgot to include a picture in the slideshow below, so click here to see a picture from the Facebook page.
