width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a>First off, I have to say that I am a huge Don Bluth fan. And by \u201chuge\u201d, I mean\u00a0<em>huge<\/em>. I can rattle off all his films in order by year, tell you obscure facts about his films and studio\u2026I think you get the picture. But all fangirling aside, I really hold this man in high esteem for his contributions to the animation industry.<\/span><span style=\"color: black;\">\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">That being said,\u00a0<em>initially<\/em>\u00a0the only reason I went to Don Bluth Front Row Theatre was to see Don Bluth (that was the hope, at least). Well, I not only got to see Don, but I also got to meet him. To sweeten the deal, the play\u2014\u201cBullets Over Broadway\u201d\u2014 was absolutely amazing and exceeded my expectations. This is my review of the whole Don Bluth Front Row Theatre experience.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: black;\">What Is Don Bluth Front Row Theatre?<\/span><\/strong>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets-Don.jpeg\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-1175\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets-Don.jpeg\" alt=\"Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets-Don\" width=\"150\" height=\"161\" \/><\/a> Don Bluth (photo via Don Bluth Front Row Theatre)[\/caption]\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">Let me just prep you by explaining what exactly is Don Bluth Front Row Theatre. Basically, it is a theatre company that animation legend and director, Don Bluth, started seven years ago out of his home in Scottsdale, Arizona. Yes, you heard me correctly; the theatre is at his house, more specifically his living room. It features a variety local actors\u2014old, young, amateur and professional. Anyone who has ever had an inkling to act is encouraged to audition. But don\u2019t let those things fool you, the production is very well acted, produced and designed.<\/span><span style=\"color: black;\">\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: black;\">Our Experience<\/span><\/strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">My friend\u2014Chelsea\u2014and I had tickets for opening night. A few days before the play, we got an email saying that opening night was now a full dress rehearsal. We would be getting a refund (as everyone else in the theatre would be seeing it for free), but our seats would still be reserved if we still wanted to come. Free play\u00a0<em>and<\/em>\u00a0we get to keep our seats? Bonus!<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets-Dons-House.jpeg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-1173\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets-Dons-House-217x300.jpeg\" alt=\"Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets-Don's-House\" width=\"217\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a> Don Bluth\u2019s Home (photo via Don Bluth Front Row Theatre)[\/caption]\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">The night of the play, Chelsea and I dressed up in our finest theatre-going attire and set out for the play. We entered a quaint upscale Scottsdale neighborhood filled with quite a variety of custom homes, both old and new. We reached Don\u2019s house (it still sounds so cool to say that) and a parking attendant helped us park in his driveway. The parking attendant was wearing a suit and we were pretty sure he was an actor in the play (our suspicions were later confirmed).<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">As we walked up the long path up to the house, the front door was slightly ajar. That\u2019s when my first internal fangirl moment occurred. From inside the house, I saw a peak of a man in a red shirt. If you do a quick\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?tbm=isch&hl=en&source=hp&biw=1166&bih=592&q=don+bluth&gbv=2&oq=don+bluth&aq=f&aqi=g10&aql=1&gs_sm=3&gs_upl=1113l3790l0l3870l17l17l4l1l1l0l145l1035l8.3l11l0&gs_l=img.3..0l10.1113l3790l0l3870l17l17l4l1l1l0l145l1035l8j3l11l0.cfis.1.\">google search<\/a>\u00a0of Don Bluth, you\u2019ll notice that the majority of pictures show him in a red shirt\u2014it seems to be his signature color. Immediately I knew that Don stood before us. I tried my best to stay cool and collected as we stepped inside and he handed us a program. I remember only giving a very over-the-top \u201cthank you!\u201d as we were shown the way to the theatre.<\/span><span style=\"color: black;\">\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">After walking down a hall, we walked through a curtain, which opened up to a spacious living room. On three sides, there were two rows of chairs and on the fourth side was the stage, backdrop and lights. The theatre is very intimate with only 45 seats\u2014all with a great view of the stage (because honestly, at max you\u2019re only sitting 15 feet away from the action). We bought our tickets the first day they went on sale and sat front and center\u2014in our opinion, the best seats in the house. Slightly to the left is what obviously used to be a wet bar, but was covered with a bunch of foliage and converted into the light control area for Don and another stage hand. His house is covered with artwork and photos from his career: sketches of Mrs. Brisby from\u00a0<em>The Secret of NIMH<\/em>, promotional stills from\u00a0<em>Anastasia<\/em>\u00a0and what seems to be a black-and-white photo of him at a Hollywood awards ceremony.<\/span><span style=\"color: black;\">\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets1.jpeg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-1171\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets1-300x200.jpeg\" alt=\"Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets1\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a> Brandon Sibetang (Cheech) & Roger McKay (Warner Purcell) at the performance (photo via Don Bluth Front Row Theatre)[\/caption]\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">The play, \u201cBullets Over Broadway\u201d is adapted from a Woody Allen film of the same name. It tells the story of a struggling and Broadway-aspiring playwright, David Shayne, who reluctantly agrees to have the mob produce his latest play. But there\u2019s a catch: he must cast the mob boss\u2019s talentless girlfriend, Olive, in the play. To give production credibility, he is able to hire the famous alcoholic prima donna, Helen Sinclair. David\u2019s world is turned upside down as pressures from the mob continue force him to keep Olive in the production and an unsuspecting person turns out to be a creative genius and edits his play for the better.<\/span><span style=\"color: black;\">\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">Overall, the play was impressive. The actors masterfully used all corners of the theatre during the performance; at times they were on the stage and other times they were right beside me (I even got sprayed with food crumbs at one point). Ultimately, I got lost in the performance. Particularly notable performers were Derek Naumann (David Shayne), Emily McAtee (Olive) and our parking attendant Bradnon Sibetang (who played Olive\u2019s bodyguard, Cheech).<\/span><span style=\"color: black;\">\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">Anyone who has the chance to visit this little gem of a theatre, should take advantage of it. We were informed that after seven years, the production will be moving out of Bluth\u2019s home to an actual theatre this summer. Personally, I thought much of the production\u2019s charm came from the location inside Bluth\u2019s living room. Despite sitting in the living room, I was entirely captivated and transported into the roaring \u201820s. Chelsea and I enjoyed it so much, that we plan on becoming patrons of the theatre and can\u2019t wait for the next production, \u201cThe Star Spangled Girl\u201d in April.<\/span>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: black;\">Don Bluth Front Row Theatre is located in Scottsdale, AZ.

width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a>First off, I have to say that I am a huge Don Bluth fan. And by \u201chuge\u201d, I mean\u00a0<em>huge<\/em>. I can rattle off all his films in order by year, tell you obscure facts about his films and studio\u2026I think you get the picture. But all fangirling aside, I really hold this man in high esteem for his contributions to the animation industry.<\/span><span style=\"color: black;\">\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">That being said,\u00a0<em>initially<\/em>\u00a0the only reason I went to Don Bluth Front Row Theatre was to see Don Bluth (that was the hope, at least). Well, I not only got to see Don, but I also got to meet him. To sweeten the deal, the play\u2014\u201cBullets Over Broadway\u201d\u2014 was absolutely amazing and exceeded my expectations. This is my review of the whole Don Bluth Front Row Theatre experience.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: black;\">What Is Don Bluth Front Row Theatre?<\/span><\/strong>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets-Don.jpeg\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-1175\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets-Don.jpeg\" alt=\"Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets-Don\" width=\"150\" height=\"161\" \/><\/a> Don Bluth (photo via Don Bluth Front Row Theatre)[\/caption]\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">Let me just prep you by explaining what exactly is Don Bluth Front Row Theatre. Basically, it is a theatre company that animation legend and director, Don Bluth, started seven years ago out of his home in Scottsdale, Arizona. Yes, you heard me correctly; the theatre is at his house, more specifically his living room. It features a variety local actors\u2014old, young, amateur and professional. Anyone who has ever had an inkling to act is encouraged to audition. But don\u2019t let those things fool you, the production is very well acted, produced and designed.<\/span><span style=\"color: black;\">\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: black;\">Our Experience<\/span><\/strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">My friend\u2014Chelsea\u2014and I had tickets for opening night. A few days before the play, we got an email saying that opening night was now a full dress rehearsal. We would be getting a refund (as everyone else in the theatre would be seeing it for free), but our seats would still be reserved if we still wanted to come. Free play\u00a0<em>and<\/em>\u00a0we get to keep our seats? Bonus!<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets-Dons-House.jpeg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-1173\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets-Dons-House-217x300.jpeg\" alt=\"Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets-Don's-House\" width=\"217\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a> Don Bluth\u2019s Home (photo via Don Bluth Front Row Theatre)[\/caption]\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">The night of the play, Chelsea and I dressed up in our finest theatre-going attire and set out for the play. We entered a quaint upscale Scottsdale neighborhood filled with quite a variety of custom homes, both old and new. We reached Don\u2019s house (it still sounds so cool to say that) and a parking attendant helped us park in his driveway. The parking attendant was wearing a suit and we were pretty sure he was an actor in the play (our suspicions were later confirmed).<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">As we walked up the long path up to the house, the front door was slightly ajar. That\u2019s when my first internal fangirl moment occurred. From inside the house, I saw a peak of a man in a red shirt. If you do a quick\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?tbm=isch&hl=en&source=hp&biw=1166&bih=592&q=don+bluth&gbv=2&oq=don+bluth&aq=f&aqi=g10&aql=1&gs_sm=3&gs_upl=1113l3790l0l3870l17l17l4l1l1l0l145l1035l8.3l11l0&gs_l=img.3..0l10.1113l3790l0l3870l17l17l4l1l1l0l145l1035l8j3l11l0.cfis.1.\">google search<\/a>\u00a0of Don Bluth, you\u2019ll notice that the majority of pictures show him in a red shirt\u2014it seems to be his signature color. Immediately I knew that Don stood before us. I tried my best to stay cool and collected as we stepped inside and he handed us a program. I remember only giving a very over-the-top \u201cthank you!\u201d as we were shown the way to the theatre.<\/span><span style=\"color: black;\">\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">After walking down a hall, we walked through a curtain, which opened up to a spacious living room. On three sides, there were two rows of chairs and on the fourth side was the stage, backdrop and lights. The theatre is very intimate with only 45 seats\u2014all with a great view of the stage (because honestly, at max you\u2019re only sitting 15 feet away from the action). We bought our tickets the first day they went on sale and sat front and center\u2014in our opinion, the best seats in the house. Slightly to the left is what obviously used to be a wet bar, but was covered with a bunch of foliage and converted into the light control area for Don and another stage hand. His house is covered with artwork and photos from his career: sketches of Mrs. Brisby from\u00a0<em>The Secret of NIMH<\/em>, promotional stills from\u00a0<em>Anastasia<\/em>\u00a0and what seems to be a black-and-white photo of him at a Hollywood awards ceremony.<\/span><span style=\"color: black;\">\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets1.jpeg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-1171\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets1-300x200.jpeg\" alt=\"Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets1\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a> Brandon Sibetang (Cheech) & Roger McKay (Warner Purcell) at the performance (photo via Don Bluth Front Row Theatre)[\/caption]\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">The play, \u201cBullets Over Broadway\u201d is adapted from a Woody Allen film of the same name. It tells the story of a struggling and Broadway-aspiring playwright, David Shayne, who reluctantly agrees to have the mob produce his latest play. But there\u2019s a catch: he must cast the mob boss\u2019s talentless girlfriend, Olive, in the play. To give production credibility, he is able to hire the famous alcoholic prima donna, Helen Sinclair. David\u2019s world is turned upside down as pressures from the mob continue force him to keep Olive in the production and an unsuspecting person turns out to be a creative genius and edits his play for the better.<\/span><span style=\"color: black;\">\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">Overall, the play was impressive. The actors masterfully used all corners of the theatre during the performance; at times they were on the stage and other times they were right beside me (I even got sprayed with food crumbs at one point). Ultimately, I got lost in the performance. Particularly notable performers were Derek Naumann (David Shayne), Emily McAtee (Olive) and our parking attendant Bradnon Sibetang (who played Olive\u2019s bodyguard, Cheech).<\/span><span style=\"color: black;\">\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">Anyone who has the chance to visit this little gem of a theatre, should take advantage of it. We were informed that after seven years, the production will be moving out of Bluth\u2019s home to an actual theatre this summer. Personally, I thought much of the production\u2019s charm came from the location inside Bluth\u2019s living room. Despite sitting in the living room, I was entirely captivated and transported into the roaring \u201820s. Chelsea and I enjoyed it so much, that we plan on becoming patrons of the theatre and can\u2019t wait for the next production, \u201cThe Star Spangled Girl\u201d in April.<\/span>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: black;\">Don Bluth Front Row Theatre is located in Scottsdale, AZ.

width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a>First off, I have to say that I am a huge Don Bluth fan. And by \u201chuge\u201d, I mean\u00a0<em>huge<\/em>. I can rattle off all his films in order by year, tell you obscure facts about his films and studio\u2026I think you get the picture. But all fangirling aside, I really hold this man in high esteem for his contributions to the animation industry.<\/span><span style=\"color: black;\">\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">That being said,\u00a0<em>initially<\/em>\u00a0the only reason I went to Don Bluth Front Row Theatre was to see Don Bluth (that was the hope, at least). Well, I not only got to see Don, but I also got to meet him. To sweeten the deal, the play\u2014\u201cBullets Over Broadway\u201d\u2014 was absolutely amazing and exceeded my expectations. This is my review of the whole Don Bluth Front Row Theatre experience.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: black;\">What Is Don Bluth Front Row Theatre?<\/span><\/strong>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets-Don.jpeg\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-1175\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets-Don.jpeg\" alt=\"Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets-Don\" width=\"150\" height=\"161\" \/><\/a> Don Bluth (photo via Don Bluth Front Row Theatre)[\/caption]\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">Let me just prep you by explaining what exactly is Don Bluth Front Row Theatre. Basically, it is a theatre company that animation legend and director, Don Bluth, started seven years ago out of his home in Scottsdale, Arizona. Yes, you heard me correctly; the theatre is at his house, more specifically his living room. It features a variety local actors\u2014old, young, amateur and professional. Anyone who has ever had an inkling to act is encouraged to audition. But don\u2019t let those things fool you, the production is very well acted, produced and designed.<\/span><span style=\"color: black;\">\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: black;\">Our Experience<\/span><\/strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">My friend\u2014Chelsea\u2014and I had tickets for opening night. A few days before the play, we got an email saying that opening night was now a full dress rehearsal. We would be getting a refund (as everyone else in the theatre would be seeing it for free), but our seats would still be reserved if we still wanted to come. Free play\u00a0<em>and<\/em>\u00a0we get to keep our seats? Bonus!<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets-Dons-House.jpeg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-1173\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets-Dons-House-217x300.jpeg\" alt=\"Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets-Don's-House\" width=\"217\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a> Don Bluth\u2019s Home (photo via Don Bluth Front Row Theatre)[\/caption]\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">The night of the play, Chelsea and I dressed up in our finest theatre-going attire and set out for the play. We entered a quaint upscale Scottsdale neighborhood filled with quite a variety of custom homes, both old and new. We reached Don\u2019s house (it still sounds so cool to say that) and a parking attendant helped us park in his driveway. The parking attendant was wearing a suit and we were pretty sure he was an actor in the play (our suspicions were later confirmed).<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">As we walked up the long path up to the house, the front door was slightly ajar. That\u2019s when my first internal fangirl moment occurred. From inside the house, I saw a peak of a man in a red shirt. If you do a quick\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?tbm=isch&hl=en&source=hp&biw=1166&bih=592&q=don+bluth&gbv=2&oq=don+bluth&aq=f&aqi=g10&aql=1&gs_sm=3&gs_upl=1113l3790l0l3870l17l17l4l1l1l0l145l1035l8.3l11l0&gs_l=img.3..0l10.1113l3790l0l3870l17l17l4l1l1l0l145l1035l8j3l11l0.cfis.1.\">google search<\/a>\u00a0of Don Bluth, you\u2019ll notice that the majority of pictures show him in a red shirt\u2014it seems to be his signature color. Immediately I knew that Don stood before us. I tried my best to stay cool and collected as we stepped inside and he handed us a program. I remember only giving a very over-the-top \u201cthank you!\u201d as we were shown the way to the theatre.<\/span><span style=\"color: black;\">\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">After walking down a hall, we walked through a curtain, which opened up to a spacious living room. On three sides, there were two rows of chairs and on the fourth side was the stage, backdrop and lights. The theatre is very intimate with only 45 seats\u2014all with a great view of the stage (because honestly, at max you\u2019re only sitting 15 feet away from the action). We bought our tickets the first day they went on sale and sat front and center\u2014in our opinion, the best seats in the house. Slightly to the left is what obviously used to be a wet bar, but was covered with a bunch of foliage and converted into the light control area for Don and another stage hand. His house is covered with artwork and photos from his career: sketches of Mrs. Brisby from\u00a0<em>The Secret of NIMH<\/em>, promotional stills from\u00a0<em>Anastasia<\/em>\u00a0and what seems to be a black-and-white photo of him at a Hollywood awards ceremony.<\/span><span style=\"color: black;\">\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets1.jpeg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-1171\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets1-300x200.jpeg\" alt=\"Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets1\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a> Brandon Sibetang (Cheech) & Roger McKay (Warner Purcell) at the performance (photo via Don Bluth Front Row Theatre)[\/caption]\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">The play, \u201cBullets Over Broadway\u201d is adapted from a Woody Allen film of the same name. It tells the story of a struggling and Broadway-aspiring playwright, David Shayne, who reluctantly agrees to have the mob produce his latest play. But there\u2019s a catch: he must cast the mob boss\u2019s talentless girlfriend, Olive, in the play. To give production credibility, he is able to hire the famous alcoholic prima donna, Helen Sinclair. David\u2019s world is turned upside down as pressures from the mob continue force him to keep Olive in the production and an unsuspecting person turns out to be a creative genius and edits his play for the better.<\/span><span style=\"color: black;\">\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">Overall, the play was impressive. The actors masterfully used all corners of the theatre during the performance; at times they were on the stage and other times they were right beside me (I even got sprayed with food crumbs at one point). Ultimately, I got lost in the performance. Particularly notable performers were Derek Naumann (David Shayne), Emily McAtee (Olive) and our parking attendant Bradnon Sibetang (who played Olive\u2019s bodyguard, Cheech).<\/span><span style=\"color: black;\">\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">Anyone who has the chance to visit this little gem of a theatre, should take advantage of it. We were informed that after seven years, the production will be moving out of Bluth\u2019s home to an actual theatre this summer. Personally, I thought much of the production\u2019s charm came from the location inside Bluth\u2019s living room. Despite sitting in the living room, I was entirely captivated and transported into the roaring \u201820s. Chelsea and I enjoyed it so much, that we plan on becoming patrons of the theatre and can\u2019t wait for the next production, \u201cThe Star Spangled Girl\u201d in April.<\/span>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: black;\">Don Bluth Front Row Theatre is located in Scottsdale, AZ.

Keane is the creator is many Disney classic characters such as Aladdin, the Beast, Tarzan and, most recently, Rapunzel.\r\n\r\nIn a letter sent out to his Disney coworkers on his final day with the studio, Keane wrote, \u201cAfter long and thoughtful consideration, I have decided to leave Disney Animation. I am convinced that animation really is the ultimate art form of our time with endless new territories to explore. I can\u2019t resist its siren call to step out and discover them.\u201d Read the full text of the letter <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cartoonbrew.com\/disney\/the-full-text-of-glen-keanes-resignation-letter.html\">here<\/a>.\r\n\r\nList of Disney characters Glen Keane has worked on over the years:\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>Penny & Bernard - <em>The Rescuers<\/em><\/li>\r\n\t<li>Elliott the Dragon - <em>Pete\u2019s Dragon<\/em><\/li>\r\n\t<li>Bear - <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/li>\r\n\t<li>Willie the Giant - <em>Mickey\u2019s Christmas Carol<\/em><\/li>\r\n\t<li>Eilonwy & Gurgi - <em>The Black Cauldron<\/em><\/li>\r\n\t<li>Ratigan & Fidget - <em>The Great Mouse Detective<\/em><\/li>\r\n\t<li>Fagin, Sykes , Jenny & Georgette - <em>Oliver & Company<\/em><\/li>\r\n\t<li>Ariel - <em>The Little Mermaid<\/em><\/li>\r\n\t<li>Marahute & Cody - <em>The Rescuers Down Under<\/em><\/li>\r\n\t<li>Beast - <em>Beauty and the Beast<\/em><\/li>\r\n\t<li>Aladdin -<em> Aladdin<\/em><\/li>\r\n\t<li>Pocahontas - <em>Pocahontas<\/em><\/li>\r\n\t<li>Tarzan - <em>Tarzan<\/em><\/li>\r\n\t<li>John Silver - <em>Treasure Planet<\/em><\/li>\r\n\t<li>Rapunzel -<em> Tangled<\/em><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nWe\u2019re sad to see him go, but respect his decision to leave.

width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a>First off, I have to say that I am a huge Don Bluth fan. And by \u201chuge\u201d, I mean\u00a0<em>huge<\/em>. I can rattle off all his films in order by year, tell you obscure facts about his films and studio\u2026I think you get the picture. But all fangirling aside, I really hold this man in high esteem for his contributions to the animation industry.<\/span><span style=\"color: black;\">\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">That being said,\u00a0<em>initially<\/em>\u00a0the only reason I went to Don Bluth Front Row Theatre was to see Don Bluth (that was the hope, at least). Well, I not only got to see Don, but I also got to meet him. To sweeten the deal, the play\u2014\u201cBullets Over Broadway\u201d\u2014 was absolutely amazing and exceeded my expectations. This is my review of the whole Don Bluth Front Row Theatre experience.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: black;\">What Is Don Bluth Front Row Theatre?<\/span><\/strong>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets-Don.jpeg\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-1175\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets-Don.jpeg\" alt=\"Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets-Don\" width=\"150\" height=\"161\" \/><\/a> Don Bluth (photo via Don Bluth Front Row Theatre)[\/caption]\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">Let me just prep you by explaining what exactly is Don Bluth Front Row Theatre. Basically, it is a theatre company that animation legend and director, Don Bluth, started seven years ago out of his home in Scottsdale, Arizona. Yes, you heard me correctly; the theatre is at his house, more specifically his living room. It features a variety local actors\u2014old, young, amateur and professional. Anyone who has ever had an inkling to act is encouraged to audition. But don\u2019t let those things fool you, the production is very well acted, produced and designed.<\/span><span style=\"color: black;\">\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: black;\">Our Experience<\/span><\/strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">My friend\u2014Chelsea\u2014and I had tickets for opening night. A few days before the play, we got an email saying that opening night was now a full dress rehearsal. We would be getting a refund (as everyone else in the theatre would be seeing it for free), but our seats would still be reserved if we still wanted to come. Free play\u00a0<em>and<\/em>\u00a0we get to keep our seats? Bonus!<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets-Dons-House.jpeg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-1173\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets-Dons-House-217x300.jpeg\" alt=\"Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets-Don's-House\" width=\"217\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a> Don Bluth\u2019s Home (photo via Don Bluth Front Row Theatre)[\/caption]\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">The night of the play, Chelsea and I dressed up in our finest theatre-going attire and set out for the play. We entered a quaint upscale Scottsdale neighborhood filled with quite a variety of custom homes, both old and new. We reached Don\u2019s house (it still sounds so cool to say that) and a parking attendant helped us park in his driveway. The parking attendant was wearing a suit and we were pretty sure he was an actor in the play (our suspicions were later confirmed).<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">As we walked up the long path up to the house, the front door was slightly ajar. That\u2019s when my first internal fangirl moment occurred. From inside the house, I saw a peak of a man in a red shirt. If you do a quick\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?tbm=isch&hl=en&source=hp&biw=1166&bih=592&q=don+bluth&gbv=2&oq=don+bluth&aq=f&aqi=g10&aql=1&gs_sm=3&gs_upl=1113l3790l0l3870l17l17l4l1l1l0l145l1035l8.3l11l0&gs_l=img.3..0l10.1113l3790l0l3870l17l17l4l1l1l0l145l1035l8j3l11l0.cfis.1.\">google search<\/a>\u00a0of Don Bluth, you\u2019ll notice that the majority of pictures show him in a red shirt\u2014it seems to be his signature color. Immediately I knew that Don stood before us. I tried my best to stay cool and collected as we stepped inside and he handed us a program. I remember only giving a very over-the-top \u201cthank you!\u201d as we were shown the way to the theatre.<\/span><span style=\"color: black;\">\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">After walking down a hall, we walked through a curtain, which opened up to a spacious living room. On three sides, there were two rows of chairs and on the fourth side was the stage, backdrop and lights. The theatre is very intimate with only 45 seats\u2014all with a great view of the stage (because honestly, at max you\u2019re only sitting 15 feet away from the action). We bought our tickets the first day they went on sale and sat front and center\u2014in our opinion, the best seats in the house. Slightly to the left is what obviously used to be a wet bar, but was covered with a bunch of foliage and converted into the light control area for Don and another stage hand. His house is covered with artwork and photos from his career: sketches of Mrs. Brisby from\u00a0<em>The Secret of NIMH<\/em>, promotional stills from\u00a0<em>Anastasia<\/em>\u00a0and what seems to be a black-and-white photo of him at a Hollywood awards ceremony.<\/span><span style=\"color: black;\">\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets1.jpeg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-1171\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets1-300x200.jpeg\" alt=\"Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets1\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a> Brandon Sibetang (Cheech) & Roger McKay (Warner Purcell) at the performance (photo via Don Bluth Front Row Theatre)[\/caption]\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">The play, \u201cBullets Over Broadway\u201d is adapted from a Woody Allen film of the same name. It tells the story of a struggling and Broadway-aspiring playwright, David Shayne, who reluctantly agrees to have the mob produce his latest play. But there\u2019s a catch: he must cast the mob boss\u2019s talentless girlfriend, Olive, in the play. To give production credibility, he is able to hire the famous alcoholic prima donna, Helen Sinclair. David\u2019s world is turned upside down as pressures from the mob continue force him to keep Olive in the production and an unsuspecting person turns out to be a creative genius and edits his play for the better.<\/span><span style=\"color: black;\">\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">Overall, the play was impressive. The actors masterfully used all corners of the theatre during the performance; at times they were on the stage and other times they were right beside me (I even got sprayed with food crumbs at one point). Ultimately, I got lost in the performance. Particularly notable performers were Derek Naumann (David Shayne), Emily McAtee (Olive) and our parking attendant Bradnon Sibetang (who played Olive\u2019s bodyguard, Cheech).<\/span><span style=\"color: black;\">\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">Anyone who has the chance to visit this little gem of a theatre, should take advantage of it. We were informed that after seven years, the production will be moving out of Bluth\u2019s home to an actual theatre this summer. Personally, I thought much of the production\u2019s charm came from the location inside Bluth\u2019s living room. Despite sitting in the living room, I was entirely captivated and transported into the roaring \u201820s.

This is my review of the whole Don Bluth Front Row Theatre experience.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: black;\">What Is Don Bluth Front Row Theatre?<\/span><\/strong>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets-Don.jpeg\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-1175\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets-Don.jpeg\" alt=\"Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets-Don\" width=\"150\" height=\"161\" \/><\/a> Don Bluth (photo via Don Bluth Front Row Theatre)[\/caption]\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">Let me just prep you by explaining what exactly is Don Bluth Front Row Theatre. Basically, it is a theatre company that animation legend and director, Don Bluth, started seven years ago out of his home in Scottsdale, Arizona. Yes, you heard me correctly; the theatre is at his house, more specifically his living room. It features a variety local actors\u2014old, young, amateur and professional. Anyone who has ever had an inkling to act is encouraged to audition. But don\u2019t let those things fool you, the production is very well acted, produced and designed.<\/span><span style=\"color: black;\">\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: black;\">Our Experience<\/span><\/strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">My friend\u2014Chelsea\u2014and I had tickets for opening night. A few days before the play, we got an email saying that opening night was now a full dress rehearsal. We would be getting a refund (as everyone else in the theatre would be seeing it for free), but our seats would still be reserved if we still wanted to come. Free play\u00a0<em>and<\/em>\u00a0we get to keep our seats? Bonus!<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets-Dons-House.jpeg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-1173\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets-Dons-House-217x300.jpeg\" alt=\"Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets-Don's-House\" width=\"217\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a> Don Bluth\u2019s Home (photo via Don Bluth Front Row Theatre)[\/caption]\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">The night of the play, Chelsea and I dressed up in our finest theatre-going attire and set out for the play. We entered a quaint upscale Scottsdale neighborhood filled with quite a variety of custom homes, both old and new. We reached Don\u2019s house (it still sounds so cool to say that) and a parking attendant helped us park in his driveway. The parking attendant was wearing a suit and we were pretty sure he was an actor in the play (our suspicions were later confirmed).<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">As we walked up the long path up to the house, the front door was slightly ajar. That\u2019s when my first internal fangirl moment occurred. From inside the house, I saw a peak of a man in a red shirt. If you do a quick\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?tbm=isch&hl=en&source=hp&biw=1166&bih=592&q=don+bluth&gbv=2&oq=don+bluth&aq=f&aqi=g10&aql=1&gs_sm=3&gs_upl=1113l3790l0l3870l17l17l4l1l1l0l145l1035l8.3l11l0&gs_l=img.3..0l10.1113l3790l0l3870l17l17l4l1l1l0l145l1035l8j3l11l0.cfis.1.\">google search<\/a>\u00a0of Don Bluth, you\u2019ll notice that the majority of pictures show him in a red shirt\u2014it seems to be his signature color. Immediately I knew that Don stood before us. I tried my best to stay cool and collected as we stepped inside and he handed us a program. I remember only giving a very over-the-top \u201cthank you!\u201d as we were shown the way to the theatre.<\/span><span style=\"color: black;\">\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">After walking down a hall, we walked through a curtain, which opened up to a spacious living room. On three sides, there were two rows of chairs and on the fourth side was the stage, backdrop and lights. The theatre is very intimate with only 45 seats\u2014all with a great view of the stage (because honestly, at max you\u2019re only sitting 15 feet away from the action). We bought our tickets the first day they went on sale and sat front and center\u2014in our opinion, the best seats in the house. Slightly to the left is what obviously used to be a wet bar, but was covered with a bunch of foliage and converted into the light control area for Don and another stage hand. His house is covered with artwork and photos from his career: sketches of Mrs. Brisby from\u00a0<em>The Secret of NIMH<\/em>, promotional stills from\u00a0<em>Anastasia<\/em>\u00a0and what seems to be a black-and-white photo of him at a Hollywood awards ceremony.<\/span><span style=\"color: black;\">\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets1.jpeg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-1171\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets1-300x200.jpeg\" alt=\"Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets1\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a> Brandon Sibetang (Cheech) & Roger McKay (Warner Purcell) at the performance (photo via Don Bluth Front Row Theatre)[\/caption]\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">The play, \u201cBullets Over Broadway\u201d is adapted from a Woody Allen film of the same name. It tells the story of a struggling and Broadway-aspiring playwright, David Shayne, who reluctantly agrees to have the mob produce his latest play. But there\u2019s a catch: he must cast the mob boss\u2019s talentless girlfriend, Olive, in the play. To give production credibility, he is able to hire the famous alcoholic prima donna, Helen Sinclair. David\u2019s world is turned upside down as pressures from the mob continue force him to keep Olive in the production and an unsuspecting person turns out to be a creative genius and edits his play for the better.<\/span><span style=\"color: black;\">\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">Overall, the play was impressive. The actors masterfully used all corners of the theatre during the performance; at times they were on the stage and other times they were right beside me (I even got sprayed with food crumbs at one point). Ultimately, I got lost in the performance. Particularly notable performers were Derek Naumann (David Shayne), Emily McAtee (Olive) and our parking attendant Bradnon Sibetang (who played Olive\u2019s bodyguard, Cheech).<\/span><span style=\"color: black;\">\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">Anyone who has the chance to visit this little gem of a theatre, should take advantage of it. We were informed that after seven years, the production will be moving out of Bluth\u2019s home to an actual theatre this summer. Personally, I thought much of the production\u2019s charm came from the location inside Bluth\u2019s living room. Despite sitting in the living room, I was entirely captivated and transported into the roaring \u201820s. Chelsea and I enjoyed it so much, that we plan on becoming patrons of the theatre and can\u2019t wait for the next production, \u201cThe Star Spangled Girl\u201d in April.<\/span>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: black;\">Don Bluth Front Row Theatre is located in Scottsdale, AZ.

width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a>First off, I have to say that I am a huge Don Bluth fan. And by \u201chuge\u201d, I mean\u00a0<em>huge<\/em>. I can rattle off all his films in order by year, tell you obscure facts about his films and studio\u2026I think you get the picture. But all fangirling aside, I really hold this man in high esteem for his contributions to the animation industry.<\/span><span style=\"color: black;\">\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">That being said,\u00a0<em>initially<\/em>\u00a0the only reason I went to Don Bluth Front Row Theatre was to see Don Bluth (that was the hope, at least). Well, I not only got to see Don, but I also got to meet him. To sweeten the deal, the play\u2014\u201cBullets Over Broadway\u201d\u2014 was absolutely amazing and exceeded my expectations. This is my review of the whole Don Bluth Front Row Theatre experience.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: black;\">What Is Don Bluth Front Row Theatre?<\/span><\/strong>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets-Don.jpeg\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-1175\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets-Don.jpeg\" alt=\"Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets-Don\" width=\"150\" height=\"161\" \/><\/a> Don Bluth (photo via Don Bluth Front Row Theatre)[\/caption]\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">Let me just prep you by explaining what exactly is Don Bluth Front Row Theatre. Basically, it is a theatre company that animation legend and director, Don Bluth, started seven years ago out of his home in Scottsdale, Arizona. Yes, you heard me correctly; the theatre is at his house, more specifically his living room. It features a variety local actors\u2014old, young, amateur and professional. Anyone who has ever had an inkling to act is encouraged to audition. But don\u2019t let those things fool you, the production is very well acted, produced and designed.<\/span><span style=\"color: black;\">\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: black;\">Our Experience<\/span><\/strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">My friend\u2014Chelsea\u2014and I had tickets for opening night. A few days before the play, we got an email saying that opening night was now a full dress rehearsal. We would be getting a refund (as everyone else in the theatre would be seeing it for free), but our seats would still be reserved if we still wanted to come. Free play\u00a0<em>and<\/em>\u00a0we get to keep our seats? Bonus!<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets-Dons-House.jpeg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-1173\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets-Dons-House-217x300.jpeg\" alt=\"Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets-Don's-House\" width=\"217\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a> Don Bluth\u2019s Home (photo via Don Bluth Front Row Theatre)[\/caption]\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">The night of the play, Chelsea and I dressed up in our finest theatre-going attire and set out for the play. We entered a quaint upscale Scottsdale neighborhood filled with quite a variety of custom homes, both old and new. We reached Don\u2019s house (it still sounds so cool to say that) and a parking attendant helped us park in his driveway. The parking attendant was wearing a suit and we were pretty sure he was an actor in the play (our suspicions were later confirmed).<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">As we walked up the long path up to the house, the front door was slightly ajar. That\u2019s when my first internal fangirl moment occurred. From inside the house, I saw a peak of a man in a red shirt. If you do a quick\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?tbm=isch&hl=en&source=hp&biw=1166&bih=592&q=don+bluth&gbv=2&oq=don+bluth&aq=f&aqi=g10&aql=1&gs_sm=3&gs_upl=1113l3790l0l3870l17l17l4l1l1l0l145l1035l8.3l11l0&gs_l=img.3..0l10.1113l3790l0l3870l17l17l4l1l1l0l145l1035l8j3l11l0.cfis.1.\">google search<\/a>\u00a0of Don Bluth, you\u2019ll notice that the majority of pictures show him in a red shirt\u2014it seems to be his signature color. Immediately I knew that Don stood before us. I tried my best to stay cool and collected as we stepped inside and he handed us a program. I remember only giving a very over-the-top \u201cthank you!\u201d as we were shown the way to the theatre.<\/span><span style=\"color: black;\">\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">After walking down a hall, we walked through a curtain, which opened up to a spacious living room. On three sides, there were two rows of chairs and on the fourth side was the stage, backdrop and lights. The theatre is very intimate with only 45 seats\u2014all with a great view of the stage (because honestly, at max you\u2019re only sitting 15 feet away from the action). We bought our tickets the first day they went on sale and sat front and center\u2014in our opinion, the best seats in the house. Slightly to the left is what obviously used to be a wet bar, but was covered with a bunch of foliage and converted into the light control area for Don and another stage hand. His house is covered with artwork and photos from his career: sketches of Mrs. Brisby from\u00a0<em>The Secret of NIMH<\/em>, promotional stills from\u00a0<em>Anastasia<\/em>\u00a0and what seems to be a black-and-white photo of him at a Hollywood awards ceremony.<\/span><span style=\"color: black;\">\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets1.jpeg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-1171\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets1-300x200.jpeg\" alt=\"Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets1\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a> Brandon Sibetang (Cheech) & Roger McKay (Warner Purcell) at the performance (photo via Don Bluth Front Row Theatre)[\/caption]\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">The play, \u201cBullets Over Broadway\u201d is adapted from a Woody Allen film of the same name. It tells the story of a struggling and Broadway-aspiring playwright, David Shayne, who reluctantly agrees to have the mob produce his latest play. But there\u2019s a catch: he must cast the mob boss\u2019s talentless girlfriend, Olive, in the play. To give production credibility, he is able to hire the famous alcoholic prima donna, Helen Sinclair. David\u2019s world is turned upside down as pressures from the mob continue force him to keep Olive in the production and an unsuspecting person turns out to be a creative genius and edits his play for the better.<\/span><span style=\"color: black;\">\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">Overall, the play was impressive. The actors masterfully used all corners of the theatre during the performance; at times they were on the stage and other times they were right beside me (I even got sprayed with food crumbs at one point). Ultimately, I got lost in the performance. Particularly notable performers were Derek Naumann (David Shayne), Emily McAtee (Olive) and our parking attendant Bradnon Sibetang (who played Olive\u2019s bodyguard, Cheech).<\/span><span style=\"color: black;\">\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">Anyone who has the chance to visit this little gem of a theatre, should take advantage of it. We were informed that after seven years, the production will be moving out of Bluth\u2019s home to an actual theatre this summer. Personally, I thought much of the production\u2019s charm came from the location inside Bluth\u2019s living room. Despite sitting in the living room, I was entirely captivated and transported into the roaring \u201820s. Chelsea and I enjoyed it so much, that we plan on becoming patrons of the theatre and can\u2019t wait for the next production, \u201cThe Star Spangled Girl\u201d in April.<\/span>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: black;\">Don Bluth Front Row Theatre is located in Scottsdale, AZ.

width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a>First off, I have to say that I am a huge Don Bluth fan. And by \u201chuge\u201d, I mean\u00a0<em>huge<\/em>. I can rattle off all his films in order by year, tell you obscure facts about his films and studio\u2026I think you get the picture. But all fangirling aside, I really hold this man in high esteem for his contributions to the animation industry.<\/span><span style=\"color: black;\">\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">That being said,\u00a0<em>initially<\/em>\u00a0the only reason I went to Don Bluth Front Row Theatre was to see Don Bluth (that was the hope, at least). Well, I not only got to see Don, but I also got to meet him. To sweeten the deal, the play\u2014\u201cBullets Over Broadway\u201d\u2014 was absolutely amazing and exceeded my expectations. This is my review of the whole Don Bluth Front Row Theatre experience.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: black;\">What Is Don Bluth Front Row Theatre?<\/span><\/strong>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets-Don.jpeg\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-1175\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets-Don.jpeg\" alt=\"Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets-Don\" width=\"150\" height=\"161\" \/><\/a> Don Bluth (photo via Don Bluth Front Row Theatre)[\/caption]\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">Let me just prep you by explaining what exactly is Don Bluth Front Row Theatre. Basically, it is a theatre company that animation legend and director, Don Bluth, started seven years ago out of his home in Scottsdale, Arizona. Yes, you heard me correctly; the theatre is at his house, more specifically his living room. It features a variety local actors\u2014old, young, amateur and professional. Anyone who has ever had an inkling to act is encouraged to audition. But don\u2019t let those things fool you, the production is very well acted, produced and designed.<\/span><span style=\"color: black;\">\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: black;\">Our Experience<\/span><\/strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">My friend\u2014Chelsea\u2014and I had tickets for opening night. A few days before the play, we got an email saying that opening night was now a full dress rehearsal. We would be getting a refund (as everyone else in the theatre would be seeing it for free), but our seats would still be reserved if we still wanted to come. Free play\u00a0<em>and<\/em>\u00a0we get to keep our seats? Bonus!<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets-Dons-House.jpeg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-1173\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets-Dons-House-217x300.jpeg\" alt=\"Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets-Don's-House\" width=\"217\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a> Don Bluth\u2019s Home (photo via Don Bluth Front Row Theatre)[\/caption]\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">The night of the play, Chelsea and I dressed up in our finest theatre-going attire and set out for the play. We entered a quaint upscale Scottsdale neighborhood filled with quite a variety of custom homes, both old and new. We reached Don\u2019s house (it still sounds so cool to say that) and a parking attendant helped us park in his driveway. The parking attendant was wearing a suit and we were pretty sure he was an actor in the play (our suspicions were later confirmed).<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">As we walked up the long path up to the house, the front door was slightly ajar. That\u2019s when my first internal fangirl moment occurred. From inside the house, I saw a peak of a man in a red shirt. If you do a quick\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?tbm=isch&hl=en&source=hp&biw=1166&bih=592&q=don+bluth&gbv=2&oq=don+bluth&aq=f&aqi=g10&aql=1&gs_sm=3&gs_upl=1113l3790l0l3870l17l17l4l1l1l0l145l1035l8.3l11l0&gs_l=img.3..0l10.1113l3790l0l3870l17l17l4l1l1l0l145l1035l8j3l11l0.cfis.1.\">google search<\/a>\u00a0of Don Bluth, you\u2019ll notice that the majority of pictures show him in a red shirt\u2014it seems to be his signature color. Immediately I knew that Don stood before us. I tried my best to stay cool and collected as we stepped inside and he handed us a program. I remember only giving a very over-the-top \u201cthank you!\u201d as we were shown the way to the theatre.<\/span><span style=\"color: black;\">\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">After walking down a hall, we walked through a curtain, which opened up to a spacious living room. On three sides, there were two rows of chairs and on the fourth side was the stage, backdrop and lights. The theatre is very intimate with only 45 seats\u2014all with a great view of the stage (because honestly, at max you\u2019re only sitting 15 feet away from the action). We bought our tickets the first day they went on sale and sat front and center\u2014in our opinion, the best seats in the house. Slightly to the left is what obviously used to be a wet bar, but was covered with a bunch of foliage and converted into the light control area for Don and another stage hand. His house is covered with artwork and photos from his career: sketches of Mrs. Brisby from\u00a0<em>The Secret of NIMH<\/em>, promotional stills from\u00a0<em>Anastasia<\/em>\u00a0and what seems to be a black-and-white photo of him at a Hollywood awards ceremony.<\/span><span style=\"color: black;\">\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets1.jpeg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-1171\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets1-300x200.jpeg\" alt=\"Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets1\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a> Brandon Sibetang (Cheech) & Roger McKay (Warner Purcell) at the performance (photo via Don Bluth Front Row Theatre)[\/caption]\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">The play, \u201cBullets Over Broadway\u201d is adapted from a Woody Allen film of the same name. It tells the story of a struggling and Broadway-aspiring playwright, David Shayne, who reluctantly agrees to have the mob produce his latest play. But there\u2019s a catch: he must cast the mob boss\u2019s talentless girlfriend, Olive, in the play. To give production credibility, he is able to hire the famous alcoholic prima donna, Helen Sinclair. David\u2019s world is turned upside down as pressures from the mob continue force him to keep Olive in the production and an unsuspecting person turns out to be a creative genius and edits his play for the better.<\/span><span style=\"color: black;\">\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">Overall, the play was impressive. The actors masterfully used all corners of the theatre during the performance; at times they were on the stage and other times they were right beside me (I even got sprayed with food crumbs at one point). Ultimately, I got lost in the performance. Particularly notable performers were Derek Naumann (David Shayne), Emily McAtee (Olive) and our parking attendant Bradnon Sibetang (who played Olive\u2019s bodyguard, Cheech).<\/span><span style=\"color: black;\">\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">Anyone who has the chance to visit this little gem of a theatre, should take advantage of it. We were informed that after seven years, the production will be moving out of Bluth\u2019s home to an actual theatre this summer. Personally, I thought much of the production\u2019s charm came from the location inside Bluth\u2019s living room. Despite sitting in the living room, I was entirely captivated and transported into the roaring \u201820s. Chelsea and I enjoyed it so much, that we plan on becoming patrons of the theatre and can\u2019t wait for the next production, \u201cThe Star Spangled Girl\u201d in April.<\/span>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: black;\">Don Bluth Front Row Theatre is located in Scottsdale, AZ.

Keane is the creator is many Disney classic characters such as Aladdin, the Beast, Tarzan and, most recently, Rapunzel.\r\n\r\nIn a letter sent out to his Disney coworkers on his final day with the studio, Keane wrote, \u201cAfter long and thoughtful consideration, I have decided to leave Disney Animation. I am convinced that animation really is the ultimate art form of our time with endless new territories to explore. I can\u2019t resist its siren call to step out and discover them.\u201d Read the full text of the letter <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cartoonbrew.com\/disney\/the-full-text-of-glen-keanes-resignation-letter.html\">here<\/a>.\r\n\r\nList of Disney characters Glen Keane has worked on over the years:\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>Penny & Bernard - <em>The Rescuers<\/em><\/li>\r\n\t<li>Elliott the Dragon - <em>Pete\u2019s Dragon<\/em><\/li>\r\n\t<li>Bear - <em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/li>\r\n\t<li>Willie the Giant - <em>Mickey\u2019s Christmas Carol<\/em><\/li>\r\n\t<li>Eilonwy & Gurgi - <em>The Black Cauldron<\/em><\/li>\r\n\t<li>Ratigan & Fidget - <em>The Great Mouse Detective<\/em><\/li>\r\n\t<li>Fagin, Sykes , Jenny & Georgette - <em>Oliver & Company<\/em><\/li>\r\n\t<li>Ariel - <em>The Little Mermaid<\/em><\/li>\r\n\t<li>Marahute & Cody - <em>The Rescuers Down Under<\/em><\/li>\r\n\t<li>Beast - <em>Beauty and the Beast<\/em><\/li>\r\n\t<li>Aladdin -<em> Aladdin<\/em><\/li>\r\n\t<li>Pocahontas - <em>Pocahontas<\/em><\/li>\r\n\t<li>Tarzan - <em>Tarzan<\/em><\/li>\r\n\t<li>John Silver - <em>Treasure Planet<\/em><\/li>\r\n\t<li>Rapunzel -<em> Tangled<\/em><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nWe\u2019re sad to see him go, but respect his decision to leave.

width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a>First off, I have to say that I am a huge Don Bluth fan. And by \u201chuge\u201d, I mean\u00a0<em>huge<\/em>. I can rattle off all his films in order by year, tell you obscure facts about his films and studio\u2026I think you get the picture. But all fangirling aside, I really hold this man in high esteem for his contributions to the animation industry.<\/span><span style=\"color: black;\">\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">That being said,\u00a0<em>initially<\/em>\u00a0the only reason I went to Don Bluth Front Row Theatre was to see Don Bluth (that was the hope, at least). Well, I not only got to see Don, but I also got to meet him. To sweeten the deal, the play\u2014\u201cBullets Over Broadway\u201d\u2014 was absolutely amazing and exceeded my expectations. This is my review of the whole Don Bluth Front Row Theatre experience.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: black;\">What Is Don Bluth Front Row Theatre?<\/span><\/strong>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets-Don.jpeg\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-1175\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets-Don.jpeg\" alt=\"Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets-Don\" width=\"150\" height=\"161\" \/><\/a> Don Bluth (photo via Don Bluth Front Row Theatre)[\/caption]\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">Let me just prep you by explaining what exactly is Don Bluth Front Row Theatre. Basically, it is a theatre company that animation legend and director, Don Bluth, started seven years ago out of his home in Scottsdale, Arizona. Yes, you heard me correctly; the theatre is at his house, more specifically his living room. It features a variety local actors\u2014old, young, amateur and professional. Anyone who has ever had an inkling to act is encouraged to audition. But don\u2019t let those things fool you, the production is very well acted, produced and designed.<\/span><span style=\"color: black;\">\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: black;\">Our Experience<\/span><\/strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">My friend\u2014Chelsea\u2014and I had tickets for opening night. A few days before the play, we got an email saying that opening night was now a full dress rehearsal. We would be getting a refund (as everyone else in the theatre would be seeing it for free), but our seats would still be reserved if we still wanted to come. Free play\u00a0<em>and<\/em>\u00a0we get to keep our seats? Bonus!<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets-Dons-House.jpeg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-1173\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets-Dons-House-217x300.jpeg\" alt=\"Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets-Don's-House\" width=\"217\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a> Don Bluth\u2019s Home (photo via Don Bluth Front Row Theatre)[\/caption]\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">The night of the play, Chelsea and I dressed up in our finest theatre-going attire and set out for the play. We entered a quaint upscale Scottsdale neighborhood filled with quite a variety of custom homes, both old and new. We reached Don\u2019s house (it still sounds so cool to say that) and a parking attendant helped us park in his driveway. The parking attendant was wearing a suit and we were pretty sure he was an actor in the play (our suspicions were later confirmed).<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">As we walked up the long path up to the house, the front door was slightly ajar. That\u2019s when my first internal fangirl moment occurred. From inside the house, I saw a peak of a man in a red shirt. If you do a quick\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?tbm=isch&hl=en&source=hp&biw=1166&bih=592&q=don+bluth&gbv=2&oq=don+bluth&aq=f&aqi=g10&aql=1&gs_sm=3&gs_upl=1113l3790l0l3870l17l17l4l1l1l0l145l1035l8.3l11l0&gs_l=img.3..0l10.1113l3790l0l3870l17l17l4l1l1l0l145l1035l8j3l11l0.cfis.1.\">google search<\/a>\u00a0of Don Bluth, you\u2019ll notice that the majority of pictures show him in a red shirt\u2014it seems to be his signature color. Immediately I knew that Don stood before us. I tried my best to stay cool and collected as we stepped inside and he handed us a program. I remember only giving a very over-the-top \u201cthank you!\u201d as we were shown the way to the theatre.<\/span><span style=\"color: black;\">\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">After walking down a hall, we walked through a curtain, which opened up to a spacious living room. On three sides, there were two rows of chairs and on the fourth side was the stage, backdrop and lights. The theatre is very intimate with only 45 seats\u2014all with a great view of the stage (because honestly, at max you\u2019re only sitting 15 feet away from the action). We bought our tickets the first day they went on sale and sat front and center\u2014in our opinion, the best seats in the house. Slightly to the left is what obviously used to be a wet bar, but was covered with a bunch of foliage and converted into the light control area for Don and another stage hand. His house is covered with artwork and photos from his career: sketches of Mrs. Brisby from\u00a0<em>The Secret of NIMH<\/em>, promotional stills from\u00a0<em>Anastasia<\/em>\u00a0and what seems to be a black-and-white photo of him at a Hollywood awards ceremony.<\/span><span style=\"color: black;\">\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets1.jpeg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-1171\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets1-300x200.jpeg\" alt=\"Don-Bluth-Front-Row-Theatre-Bullets1\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a> Brandon Sibetang (Cheech) & Roger McKay (Warner Purcell) at the performance (photo via Don Bluth Front Row Theatre)[\/caption]\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">The play, \u201cBullets Over Broadway\u201d is adapted from a Woody Allen film of the same name. It tells the story of a struggling and Broadway-aspiring playwright, David Shayne, who reluctantly agrees to have the mob produce his latest play. But there\u2019s a catch: he must cast the mob boss\u2019s talentless girlfriend, Olive, in the play. To give production credibility, he is able to hire the famous alcoholic prima donna, Helen Sinclair. David\u2019s world is turned upside down as pressures from the mob continue force him to keep Olive in the production and an unsuspecting person turns out to be a creative genius and edits his play for the better.<\/span><span style=\"color: black;\">\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">Overall, the play was impressive. The actors masterfully used all corners of the theatre during the performance; at times they were on the stage and other times they were right beside me (I even got sprayed with food crumbs at one point). Ultimately, I got lost in the performance. Particularly notable performers were Derek Naumann (David Shayne), Emily McAtee (Olive) and our parking attendant Bradnon Sibetang (who played Olive\u2019s bodyguard, Cheech).<\/span><span style=\"color: black;\">\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: black;\">Anyone who has the chance to visit this little gem of a theatre, should take advantage of it. We were informed that after seven years, the production will be moving out of Bluth\u2019s home to an actual theatre this summer. Personally, I thought much of the production\u2019s charm came from the location inside Bluth\u2019s living room. Despite sitting in the living room, I was entirely captivated and transported into the roaring \u201820s.
