Week 5, Part 1

Big week this week. Publicity and marketing meeting with the axis. Very productive. Some good ideas shared and, more importantly to all you folks who are going to be coming along, tickets deals finalised. As mentioned before, tickets are €15. Groups of eight or more, however, only have to pay €12. And if you bring ten people, the eleventh ticket is free (hint: try and be the eleventh person). Also, for all the couples out there, you can purchase two tickets and a bottle of wine for €32. Not bad, eh?

They cast aren’t off-book (not that I have been pushing them), we haven’t finalised our tech or costumes and haven’t gotten our set. Speaking of which, earlier in the week, panic was beginning to settle in. How much do we have in the budget? Can we get the set we want? How much of a compromise is too much? All discussed in a calm and rational manner, you understand. But it looks like the panic may have been unwarranted. I mean, it’s perfectly acceptable to have the actors all just stand in a row and say their lines right? It’s not like there is supposed to be car chases or anything. Although now that I think of it…
