Fortunately I have Keith to prevent me from becoming a serious hoarder.

I don't have a Keith to prevent me from becoming a serious hoarder.

Good night, all.

Finished with my viewing.

So last week, I got a FB message from my friend pug who is the artistic director (and one of the founding members) of Theater Artists Olympia, wanting to know how much money we had in our bank account.

I told her, and she said that we (TAO) have an opportunity to do a new production of our show, The Head That Wouldn't Die!

Kyle, a friend of mine, started a new theater company a few years ago (Broadway Olympia Productions) and put on some shows.

George · « **Reply #158 on:** July 19, 2021, 10:55:31 PM »

I did props for Legally Blonde and The Rocky Horror Show, and was in their production of A Christmas Story.

George · « **Reply #159 on:** July 19, 2021, 10:55:55 PM »

Kyle was able to rent a space at the Capitol Mall and now has that as his company's theater space!

George · « **Reply #160 on:** July 19, 2021, 10:56:26 PM »

I think they've had a couple of comics do shows there, and now TAO has the opportunity to perform there, too!

I need to reinstate our insurance, so I've been sent some documents to fill out, but I have questions for our president and the insurance company.

George · « **Reply #162 on:** July 19, 2021, 10:58:50 PM »

Hopefully, our president has some answers...I know the insurance company will.

George · « **Reply #163 on:** July 19, 2021, 10:59:33 PM »

But the performances will be in October, and I'll be running the sound and coordinating the concessions (again).

George · « **Reply #164 on:** July 19, 2021, 10:59:46 PM »

Since I'm the money guy, that's part of my job...which is fine.

George · « **Reply #165 on:** July 19, 2021, 11:00:51 PM »

One really good thing about this is that Kyle wants us (and other small theatrical organizations) to succeed, so we're getting a pretty good deal on the rental from him.

George · « **Reply #166 on:** July 19, 2021, 11:08:24 PM »

And two REALLY good things about being at the mall are free and plentiful parking, AND it's handicapped accessible.

George · « **Reply #167 on:** July 19, 2021, 11:12:13 PM »

So, they'll start rehearsals in August, move into the space near the end of September (I think), and then play two or three weekends in October.

George · « **Reply #168 on:** July 19, 2021, 11:14:12 PM »

For the insurance, I asked if they were allowing for a possibility of extending, and pug said that there's no chance to extend.

George · « **Reply #169 on:** July 19, 2021, 11:15:22 PM »

I don't know if the space is already booked right after we're done, or it's just to limit the amount that we have to pay, or what.

George · « **Reply #170 on:** July 19, 2021, 11:15:44 PM »

It doesn't matter.

George · « **Reply #171 on:** July 19, 2021, 11:16:03 PM »

I'm pretty sure we'll make more than it'll cost us.

George · « **Reply #172 on:** July 19, 2021, 11:16:51 PM »

"The TAO Collective" wrote the show (which is basically pug and anyone who had a good idea), so no royalties to worry about.

George · « **Reply #173 on:** July 19, 2021, 11:17:55 PM »

The set is very simple, and we used a lot of projections and videos that I'm sure still exist.

George · « **Reply #174 on:** July 19, 2021, 11:18:19 PM »

I love this show.

George · « **Reply #175 on:** July 19, 2021, 11:18:34 PM »

It was very well written and performed.

George · « **Reply #176 on:** July 19, 2021, 11:18:58 PM »

Our version is different than the movie, especially in the second act.

George · « **Reply #177 on:** July 19, 2021, 11:19:11 PM »

I think it makes more sense, but that's just me.

George · « **Reply #178 on:** July 19, 2021, 11:20:57 PM »

Can't wait to finally get back into a theater, not only to actually be involved in a show (even though I'm not acting), but it's a TAO show!

George · « **Reply #179 on:** July 19, 2021, 11:28:17 PM »

And now...
