Finally, an update!

Hi, all!

Wow, it's been awhile! So sorry about that!

First of all, Uprising in September went wonderfully. Here are some selected pictures. At some point (like in a few years),we may do another performance with expanded scenes since it was so well received, so look out for that.

Looks really cool, huh? We were very proud!

But on to more current things. One of our associated artists, Tierney Nolen, who can be seen in some of the above pictures, is now our Social Media Director. Here's her headshot...and a picture of her goofin' around backstage during Uprising for good measure.

Aint she a qt?

But MOST EXCITING!

Updates and reminders (only one day left on our indiegogo!)

Just another update. Last Saturday we had our workshop production of Hell-Bent, written by Sander Gunisow and directed by Lourdes Uno. We were really proud of the work they did and can't wait to see another production of this some time in the future. Unfortunately we were able to get any pictures to put up of it. Well...they were on a mobile device that had to be reset. Yeah. Things that only happen with up and coming theatre company, huh? But anyway, we're really proud of the show, the artists who we got to showcase and the audience members we got to share it with!

My other reason for the update is to remind you about our fundraising campaign which ends in just a little over twenty-four hours. We really need your support to make this show everything it deserves to be. It is our most experimental and ambitious show to date and we're so excited about it. Check out our campaign and be a part of it while there's still time. Right here, guys!

That's all for now

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!

Take Ten pictures, workshop and Uprising

It's been a long time coming, but I finally do have pictures for our Take Ten festival in April. I was a wonderful success and we are so proud of all the artists we got the opportunity to meet, as well as those we got to work with again.

And in the first week of September at Shetler Studios, we are premiering Uprising, the original play/multimedia event by Samantha Manas and myself, about the labor movement. We have almost finished casting, so stay tuned for more on that!

Till next time (hope it's sooner)!
