Update

The article on Enigma Productions won't be in this week's Xpress, but it will be in either the June 9th or 16th editions. I'll try to get it on the website as soon as it comes out, for those of you who don't have access to the paper itself.

Ciao!

Ottawa Fringe Media Launch

Well, I wish I could say that I thought it was a success. It was really good fun. There were a lot of people there. But I think they were ALL artists performing in the Fringe. There was a rumor going around that the NewRO was there, but otherwise I don't think any media attended the event.

It's really a shame, because the event was really quite well organised this time - there were tables for all the artists to display their show information - there was a (should have been 25 minute) 40 minute show with interviews and excerpts from various plays. Enigma was the first company to perform. It was the first time Stewart and I performed bits from 52 Pick-up in front of an uninitiated-to-the-concept audience. They loved it! I couldn't believe how much they laughed. We lost three cards because we tossed them into the airs on such a small stage, but it didn't matter. It became clear that the show is going to work... and it's going to be a lot of fun to perform it.

Now, all we need to do is decide on lighting and sound cues... and do enough run-throughs so that our run time gets under 60 minutes... when really it's a 70 minute show. EEEEK!
