2016 mini update: Dal Segno and Detainee

Well, friends

We've had a busy and successful year, but with only 2 blog posts so far, you may have not been updated on it. Our goal is get our news out more effectively in the future and we even may have a new Between Us Family member joining us soon to support us with that.

First of all, Detainee happened and it was a wonderful success. I've changed our facebook cover photo to be this iconic image from Sam Graber's piece.

Roxy Reynolds as the Detainee

I am still going to hold off on sharing a picture from each of our Take Ten plays in April, but I swear you will see that before the next Take Ten (which we are in the midst of planning right now). More photos from both events are available on our facebook page. I will be making a dedicated post sooner than not, however, just honoring all the artists we worked with this year with pictures and accolades.

I'll give you a sneak peak for one our Take Ten photos, however. Alisha Espinosa's Friable won Best Play at Take Ten and was directed by Nilan Jonson. Here's one image from that electric piece.

Alisha Espinosa & Brandon Garegnani get into it

WELL. This weekend we are hosting a workshop of Alisha's newest work. It's the story of two souls connecting (or not) in a time of extreme violence...our own. Check out the facebook event for more information, but the main details are that it's 8pm at the Director's Studio on November 12th. 

Hope to see many of there and can't wait to share more news and pictures soon!

A new friend, a demonic workshop and a heartfelt plea...

A lot's going on right now with Between Us and I wanted to update you all about it. First of all, Tierney Nolen, an actor we have worked with on three straight full productions and truly love do to her attitude and talent, has become an official member of the company as our Social Media Director! Please welcome Tierney and please remember that this was our first introduction to her!:

Long live the Sheep!

In addition, we are having a workshop this Saturday, July 26th, at our old spot, the Director's Studio (311 West 43rd St, 4th floor) of Hell-Bent, a new horror-comedy one act by Sander Gusinow, the winning playwright from this year's Take Ten festival. Here's a reminder of his incredible work:

The play will be directed by Lourdes Uno, another artist we've been pleased to work with during the last few years, who wrote and directed another play in this year's festival. They were the only two horror authors to qualify for the festival and we really feel like their voices are a natural match. Here's a look at her work from the festival:

So join us while we celebrate these two unique voices. The whole thing will only be ten dollars, there will be refreshments for sale and you will be supporting a company doing new, diverse work! Plus, it will be scary!
Here's the facebook event.

And speaking of new work...I've been hinting for some time about the labor play we are producing in September. Well, in case I haven't put all this up here, or you forgot, Samantha and I collaborated on a historical fiction/multimedia event called Uprising and it will be playing September 2-8 at Shetler Studios. You will be hearing a lot more from me about this as it gets closer, but for right now, we are doing an indiegogo campaign and we really need the support in order to provide our cast with the sets and costumes they deserve to make their work look professional. Please donate and share! We only have twelve days left!
