Yeasterday was tech. We moved into Augustine's, which is a much larger space with several new issues. Not only do we need to worry about volume, but the stage has a pole in the center of downstage. This didn't have too big an effect on "I Really Really Like You" but it changes the arrangement for most of "Liar's Club". This will hopefully prove to be less of a problem then we fear. Because of the space, we are worried that no matter what, the pole will keep many people from seeing all of the characters all of the time. One can only hope that this is an issue that we can fix. Tonight is our first night performing, so I hope to hear about the obsticles from the first ngiht cast.
As far as today, we had the Fringe USA show! We were able to see selections from four other groups (including the increadible "Three Mo' Tenors" that blew everyone's mind). Our miniature performance got a great reaction and really showed how talented we are as a group. Everyone reacted to Bree's monologue really well - I highly expect that most of the people will try to see our show. This really was an amazing oportunity for us because so many people attended (definitely our biggest audience yet) and these people will be wonderful word of mouth. Everyone is really proud of how we performed and excited by what this could mean.
Tonight I plan on going to "Frank's Life" at Augustine's and to "Tango Fire" which is a Latin Dance show. It should make for a very well-rounded day of theater and flyering.
