Last Thursday, Emily Floyd, Clint Okayama, Bryan Vu, and I held our first This Is Art Livestream event to celebrate reaching our goal on Indiegogo (19 hours left!).
Not only did we have a great time doing interviews and hanging out with each other, but we really had a blast interacting with the chat room as our supporters got to know each other and asked us questions about the project. We’ll continue to do these Livestream events as we progress with the show because it’s a great way of keeping our audience up to date in a very dynamic way. I’m sure we’ll also keep making crazy video shorts as well because we’ve really enjoyed putting those together and the feedback has been positive. I did a blog post on our This Is Art blog with more details on how we put the Livestream event together, if you’re interested in more detailed information. One of the best functions of Livestream is that it records your broadcasts, so if someone missed out, they can catch up easily by watching the video. Let me know what you thought!
The Beautiful Soup Theater Collective had a great show yesterday! Alice at the Soho Playhouse is really starting to take off and all of us are really enjoying the new cuts and pacing for the show. We had a bit of a rough start but yesterday we all felt so good bout the production. I finally feel like I have a grasp on the new role I’ve assumed and I’m feeling like I’m finally doing my own thing with it. I can’t wait to get back into Dee’s shoes next weekend and muck around some more. We even had a little girl in the audience who was so thrilled with the whole thing and took some really adorable photos with the cast afterward.
We could really use your support next weekend because the owner of the theater is coming to decide if he wants to keep the show on. We need to get as many people there as possible. That’s right, the future of the our theatrical livelihood depends on YOU!
You can purchase your tickets on the Soho Playhouse website. Also, let me know if you want to come and I can try to arrange some sort of discount. The show is just an hour long and it starts at 1PM every Saturday so it’s hardly a huge time commitment. If you’re a blogger, I can definitely get you a comped ticket if you agree to blog about the show. Feel free to contact me at annerichmond (at) mac (dot) com if you’re interested. I’ll love you forever and ever if you come to the show next Saturday!
Let’s be honest, I already do love you forever and ever, but who doesn’t want more love of the “ever and ever” persuasion?
