APAP Changes

First of all, I have to say that Kayla and Cordelia are incredible women. Not only are they so supportive of this project, but they have plunged in head first and taken on these roles with a new energy that is delightful to watch. Their interpretations of the text are unlike anything that I are or the rest of the ladies could ever think of and it's wonderful to work off of them and see how things shift for the newer and deeper level.

Second of all, everything we thought we were doing for APAP has shifted. Don't worry, we're still doing it, but we're going to approach it a little differently than before. Instead of doing a full length production like we were planning (over ninety minutes in length), we've decided it will be more practical and beneficial to develop a twenty minute "trailer" to showcase at APAP. This way we can showcase the "trailer" many times during the time we have the venue and give people many opportunities to come and see us (rather than a limit of ONLY three shows). We made this decision because we wanted to maximize in numerous areas. For one, we wanted to make sure all of the highlights in our show were seen (Harpy, Goddesses, Storm scene - all of the physicality, etc). We also wanted to ensure that people could come and see the show at a time that is convenient for them and in a way that is enjoyable. I'm not saying that ninety plus minutes of Shakespeare won't be enjoyable, but because there are so many other showcases to be seen during APAP, we decided it's better that people come and see us for 20 minutes rather than no one coming to see us because we offer an overwhelming ninety minutes.

We have launched another Kickstarter and appreciate any donations that anyone can spare to help pay for our Presenters Booth (area designated for networking with potential touring companies) and our Off Broadway venue on 43rd Street.

In other news, we're also looking to raise money with a Christmas party set in the 1920s at the Hotel Chelsea! Yes, it's cocktails, live entertainment and Hotel Chelsea history at the tips of your fingers for the low cover charge of $10. So if you're looking for fun on December 3rd - stop by the Hotel Chelsea between 9:30pm and 12:30am. Guaranteed - you won't regret it. ;)

That's where we stand and sway from side to side and physicalize the storm... we're very busy rehearsing.

Until next time, which should be sooner rather than later,
