Well, we've had a lot going on since we last updated you. First of all, we had a Halloween Variety Show party. Unfortunately, I wasn't there. I know, I know, awful, right? But luckily, my Co-Artistic Director, Sam, was and she was decked out in a fabulous Anne Boleyn costume.
There was stand up, bellydance, music, drinks...the works! You know Between Us has a good time, so don't forget to drop by next time we're having an event. We'll make it worth your while.
Besides that, we also had a belated welcome party for the new staff at Traffic Bar and Grill in Hell's Kitchen. It was there that we officially met our new graphic designer, Allie Trimboli, though we've already met her through her fabulous work. Unfortunately, the other new staff members that are still working with us (Brittany Remington, our Associate Producer and Abby Rose Leigh, our Artistic/Marketing Intern) were not able to attend, but we hope to see them at our new Traffic Bar and Grill party, which will be a holiday bash on December 20th...but more on that later!
The big thing that's going on right now is our Indiegoo campaign for our winter production, Parables for the One Percent. Parables is written by Karl Custer Jr., aka Uncle Yo, our Literary/Artistic Assistant and I personally feel it's some of his best work, outrageously funny and desperately real, it really hits home in some uncomfortable ways. It's directed by the above pictured Samantha Lee Manas and the actors are some of our favorite artists, whose talents have inspired us over the past few years.
Allie drew us a sample ad for the show and even though it's not the finished design, we wanted to give you a peak to get an idea of the direction we're going in.
But here's the thing, we really need support to produce this play. We have a beautiful space booked and really want to give this work the attention it deserves. We only have 10 days left on our Indiegogo campaign and we're not even halfway to our financial goal. Every little bit helps, so please donate and share! Click the link and watch the video!
Okay, so that's all for now, but stay tuned. Next update should be more about our holiday party, first updates on Take Ten 2014 and Parables, Parables, Parables! And maaaybe you'll hear about some of our other upcoming projects, who knows?
Oh, and of course, happy Channukah and Thanksgiving to anyone celebrating!
