Today was a very. rainy. day. Yesterday there was a bit of drizzle, but at least it was warm. Today, it was cold. And wet. However, we were determined to stand our ground on the Mile. Weather was not going to take the fun out of flyering. Ohhhhh no. Given the miserable weather, we figured • Read More »

Day 1: First Preview
August 6, 2011 | By Ingrid | No Comments | Filed in: Edinburgh.This is our company’s first year at the Edinburgh fringe, so we didn’t know what to expect in terms of audience numbers.

The stash disaster has been averted….
August 6, 2011 | By Ingrid | No Comments | Filed in: Edinburgh.We wanted pink dresses to wear on the mile to promote our show. We wanted all the dresses to look the same. We didn’t have very much money. We have 16 people in our cast and crew (including several funny-shaped boys).

July 28, 2011 | By Ingrid | No Comments | Filed in: Previews.We’ve just finished our first performance at the ADC Theatre in Cambridge. It was a great audience and the largest house we’ll ever play for. (The capacity of our venue in Edinburgh is slightly less than half that of the ADC.) The biggest we learned from this performance was about timing. Although we’d rehearsed a • Read More »
