The workshop production of 'CL1000P' has closed. The artistic team will review all of the awesome notes they received from audience members and begin rehearsals in March for their bigger and better 'CL1000P' (the title, however, might not make it). Until then they will be in Australia performing their hit show, 'The Method Gun' at the Powerhouse Festival in Brisbane.
I had a wonderful time stage-managing and already miss it. It was exciting to be in the middle of all the bustling artists, all providing their expertise on something specific. I've learned a lot! One thing I learned was that Shawn Sides, one of the actresses in the show, is usually the director of the shows at Rude Mechs. I embarrassingly said to a crowd of UT MFA candidates, at their colloquium, that there really isn't a director. Ha!
While they're away I'll be looking after the Off Center as renters use the space, so there will definitely be more adventures to gossip about!

An Intern's Perspective #4 (CL1000P HAS OPENED, Y'ALL)
I haven't blogged in a while and it's high time for a Rude report.
The past couple of weeks have had me in crazy mode. Finishing the set, prepping lights, staying on top of rehearsal- it all takes a small toll after a while, but only in the sleep department. Thankfully, I had a day where I slept for 15 hours. Thank heavens for that!
ANYWAY, the first week of shows have been performed to highly receptive patrons. It's so nice to see those seats filled with smiles and discerning looks. At the nightly talkbacks, audience members have offered wonderful thoughts on the show- what works, what doesn't quite work. Everything is generally positive and constructive. Things people like so far: audience interactivity, going on a journey, and strange stories. An example of these three things combined is getting to walk through a diorama! What???
One more week of shows for the workshop production of 'CL1000P'. If you can't make it and are dying to see what this show offers, the company will stage a full blown production in May. Will they take a few ideas from the talkbacks? Will they amend a few parts? Will it be even crazier? Check back for more info!!
