I couldn't think of an appropriate or clever Shakespearean title for this post. Deal.
Item 1 - We are #5 on the Minnesota Fringe Festival waiting list! Yay! I think the chances are pretty good that we'll get a slot. Surely there will be 5 companies that have to back out for one reason or another, right? We won't know about the New York Fringe until late April. Boo!
Item 2 - The "Mortal Kombat: Scotland" video is now on YouTube! Check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncjw-8wTyYo.

The Big....
So, yesterday Josh took a big envelope stuffed with a DVD and paperwork to the post office. The address was in NYC and it was for the Fringe Festival. Josh had gone once as an actor, I've only been as a stage manager. For me, it will be nice to perform instead - if we get the opportunity.
This all seems very far away. We have no idea how it will play out with bosses and jobs. It is a little worrying. However, some congrats are in order, because we didn't worry ourselves out of sending in the applications in the first place! (You don't have to, I just just did....[a moment later]so, I just spent the last 3 minutes having delusions of grandeur.) Sigh.

Livin on the Fringe
Ok. So responding to the advise of many after seeing the show, Josh and I have decided to submit Kill Will to Fringe festivals. Minnesota is first. We just filled out the paperwork last night (it seems suspiciously easy) and we will email it in tonight. Dave went some years ago and he said it was a fantastic festival. I'm excited!
New York Fringe's application is due in a couple of weeks. We are about to get the video footage of the performances soon. Josh will then put it all together and that will be sent in.
So, some ink and a few dollars lighter, we head off on that journey of: Yes, family and Cleveland people liked it, but will the rest of the world?
We'll keep you updated.

Post-opp
Well.....all the fretting is over. I'm not sure what to do now.
Josh, Ali and I all heard from several people that we need to shop this show around. That we need to call Shakespeare festivals, submit to fringe festivals, have a run of our own. That would all be wonderful! However, how do you pay your bills at the same time?
That question and more are what your masochistic sword-fighting duo will try to answer in Kill Will, Part II: How the Hell Do We Market This Thing.
Stay tuned.

The play's the thing
That was awesome. Everyone loved it, they laughed through the whole thing, the audience participation was great... all in all, an excellent show. Can't wait to do it again tomorrow! Now, bed.

The Readiness is All
Fight Club - CPT opens its Big [Box] with gratuitous violence
That's a link to Scene Magazine's pre-show piece on us!
So we open tomorrow.....we've had three nights of last minute tweaking, more bruises, throwing tech people to the wolves of cues and audience participation. Are we ready?!?!?
Josh, are we ready?
Yes, Kelly.
Are you sure?
Yes, Kelly. Stop asking me stupid questions.
But, how do you know we're ready?
I don't know where you're going with this. Stop typing. Why are you typing that?
Eh. If we're not ready. It might make the show more fun. I will be glad when this week is over and I can slump on my couch and snuggle into a blanket and watch movies....until I have to do something again.
The families are all coming (Josh's grandma is going to HATE it!!!) My sister is dog-sitting for us and bringing us food. My mother is fielding panic attacks from me. I'm fielding panic attacks from Josh. Yep. We're ready.

PR People!!!!
Our friend - I mean - fantastic journalist, Brian Thornton wrote a pre-show piece on his website. If you haven't checked it out, let this be the first!!!
'Kill Will' Hopes to Slay 'Em at Big[Box]
We will also be mentioned in this week's Scene. So exciting!!!!
Last night was Josh and my first night in the Levin Theater. We set props, the projector, and ran lines and fights. While all of that was going on, our FABULOUS lighting designer (who is so kindly designing our show, even though the Cramped crew brought him in) was creating light cues. Yet again, Curtis at CPT has worked his magic at creating a general light plot that is beautiful and so useful.
We're tired. I've never worked a real "9 to 5" job while doing a show before. I've always been able to find the time to relax around tech week. The fact that both Josh and I are having to deal with the stresses at work at the same time we both have to deal with the stresses of getting a show up is starting to show. By 11:30 last night, we were dragging. I got sloppy and scratched Josh with a dagger.
Buck up, girl. Only a few more days to go!
