Fringe update
Just a quick update on the status of the show.

We are going to the Fringe!
Minnesota, that is. Land of a thousand lakes. The home of the Prairie Companion. Or something.
The Minnesota Fringe called me this afternoon to say that they had another company drop out, and since we were next on the waiting list, did we want the slot? After discussing the pros and cons of waiting to hear from New York with Kelly, David and Ali, we decided to go with Minnesota. After all, if we turn this one down, and then NY chooses not to accept us, then we're out both festivals. Better to take the opportunity we've been handed.
Who wants to go to Minnesota to help us? Who wants to give us money to get there?

Minnesota Fringe update and YouTube video
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.
