Un-Scripted 2009!
This weekend we finally (we think) hammered out the 2009 season! The challenge: to make it widely appealing (ie, marketable in this south-trending economy) but still appealing for US!
Behold, in all its splendor:
March: Un-Scripted: unscripted
We really enjoyed this show a lot, and anecdotally, our audiences really enjoyed it as well. We also learned great things about how to start games without "introducing" them, and we wanted to practice more with cast-created music onstage. So there you go!
May: Shakespeare: The Musical!
Probably controversial (you know who you are :o), but understandable to the general public, marketable, fun, high production values, spiffo costumes, and a variable cast size (Dave's getting married during this show!)!
August: The B-Movie Film Project
Still a working title. A combination of Clay's concept to use the B-Movie card games in some way, AND of The Impossible Film Project, which we all loved but wondered how we would possibly bring back, with its logistical craziness. So it'll be a combination of live-action and film, probably an original "film" improvised onstage and then a series of sequels, with the actual film being the last in the series? Still figuring this out -- got any brilliant thoughts? But we're excited.
Nov/Dec: Let It Snow!
Everyone's favorite holiday musical, starring YOUR TOWN, is back! Perhaps with a new twist, perhaps in the city, perhaps new surprises -- still the same feelgood holiday gift! (I've been thinking that I want to send a DVD of their show to each of the towns that we've done, care of City Hall . . . seems like a pretty neat gift, eh?)
There you have it!
Questions? Comments? Let us know! Bring it on, 2009!
