Starting 2014 right with Parables for the One Percent!

Happy New Year, Between Us Friends and Fans!

           This is our year, guys! We mean it! WOO! *cue inspirational music*

No, but seriously, folks. This is a year with a lot going on for the Between Us crew and I am all for letting you guys know about it.

First of all, as some of you may know, we had a holiday bash at Traffic Bar and Grill. It was a really nice time to spend with some of actors, crew, friends and family. Unfortunately, this is the only picture I have of the event to share at the moment.

Okay, so it's not that bad. Not quite as epic as I had hoped, but what can you do? At least you can see what a fun bunch we are and hopefully make it out next time to party with us!

But on to more important and pressing matters. Parables!

Yes, Parables for the One Percent got funded and we are all set for January 8-11. (Well, we were booked before, but the money is the part the makes it actually happen). We are so grateful to everyone who joined on to back us in this project, which is in some ways our most ambitious. Rest assured that you will see your rewards if you haven't soon!

So, okay, what's the deal with Parables? (You may be asking). Here is the whole deal! Every bit of the deal!

Parables for the One Percent is a satirical comedy that explores what we have never heard; the interior monologues of the richest people alive today. It's safe to laugh, but the facts are nothing but dire. For the first time, the richest in our world have bought a commodity we can't take back: our futures.

Oh, yes and speaking of Allie...here is the final image for the show


I'm kind of crazy about it, I don't know about you guys. Like the last image, that is a quote from the show. This one gives a bit more of a peak into the characters and themes, though.

So, in short, come one, come all. It's going to be an incredible show, showcasing amazing talent and will make you laugh in some uncomfortably real ways (which are the best ways, in my opinion).

And stay tuned for more, because not only is Take Ten fast approaching with an insane batch of plays this year, but Sam and I are cooking up something extra special for later on...a full length historical drama!

But more of that later...

Thanks for reading, lots of love...


...and come see Parables! ;)
