Last night Natalia, Crego, Dan, Erica and I tossed back a couple of beers on a porch and discussed details.
Our first big meeting with everyone is Tuesday, and we must be prepared. We've divided the evening's gathering up into little categories, and we'll pretty much go down the list in discussion forum, with Natalia and/or I speaking first and opening the floor to suggestions and questions. It sort of has to be this way, for time efficiency and noise factor's sake. We also discussed how important it is that everyone involved understands right off the bat that this is NOT a Waller Studio Theater Production. For those who don't know, Waller is the name of the building and theater on campus where most of us either go to school or graduated from. The studio theater is where we students typically put together our own shows...often, because directors and other people involved with these student production are our peers, authority is rarely observed and it can make for some tense and sometimes rifty business. This will not be one of those deals. We will be attempting to adhere to our goals of operation as professionally as possible (which means firing people (oh my!) should they become a problem...)
On that list of agenda for tuesday lies the very important sections about Promoting the show and -sigh- asking people for money. This all involves creating a very professional and appealing-to-the-eye press kit, and well-designed fliers (for passing out at such occasions as the Fourth of July, Luchenbach, etc...) The press kits will be sent to many, many people, local businesses, etc. seeking even the smallest donation. When we get those sent out and done with, then we can settle into planning fundraising events. Woot!
That's all for now. The "meeting" last night was a good success. It sounds like everyone who was there at least is getting super stoked, but we are remaining practical and calm, despite the enormous amount of work that can be seen on the horizon.
A NOTE ON COSTUMES:
I can't release any info yet, but all I can say is this: Dan and Natalia talked costume concepts last night, and whoa does it sound awesome. Done.
