CAUTIONARY TALES FOR ADULTS
⊆ July 2nd, 2007 by shirley | ˜Firstly–thank to DC Theatre Scene for their continued support and coverage of the DC Theater Community and now of the 2nd Annual CapFringe Festival. You folks rock.
Second–a caveat or two. This is going to be a lame first entry to my fringe blog. I’m under-caffeinated, I’m in a hurry, and I have to track down our postcards in Kensington before I go teach an acting class for 10-year-olds out in Rockville.
Look, I sound surly already. I don’t mean to be surly! Because, really?–this producing business is SO MUCH FUN.
No, honestly–I don’t know how the solo artist types do it all on their own. I have the most wonderful collaborator ever in Shawn Northrip and it still seems like no matter how hard we try to keep up on things we are always just one step ahead of dropping the ball. The BOUNCING BALL as it were. Eh? See a segue here anyone?
I’ll talk a moment about our company, Bouncing Ball. We incorporated last year in order to perform Shawn’s show LUNCH in the first annual CapFringe Festival. Starting the company was our first official commitment to working together, but it followed several years of memorable collaborations, including Macbeth’s McTragic McMusical at the Source theater and the KC Page-to-stage, two years of Madcap Players Winter Carnivals, and the production that started it all, Shawn’s Titus! The Musical, which we produced in the Source Summer Festival in 2003, followed by a full run at the Source that fall.
And now I have to plug our fundraiser:
TONIGHT at The Black Cat at 9:00PM
Your last chance (maybe your last chance ever) to see Titus! The musical.
It’s a concert version, but it’s only $8, you can drink while you watch, it’s bloody and it’s fun…
starring:
Casie Platt
Jewel Greenberg
Andrew Honeycutt
Joe Pindelski
Cesar Guadamuz
and Peter Schuyler
With Jacob Jackovich, Nate Bonfiglio and Boinkee
Shawn is out buying push knives, Casie is snagging us an extra music stand, I’m picking up the postcards, and Jewel is searching for fishnets. In other words–all is well in the world.
Join us. Tonight.
More to come. Less lame, more filling, I promise.
