almost paradise

We're riding high after an incredible opening tonight. It felt amazing to be able to kick off Fringe 09 as the first show of the Festival! Mad props to the Fringe staff who were plastering holes in the walls of Redrum right up until the last second, and still managed to throw a killer party. We ate cookies shaped like breasts and listened to some banjo stylings. It rocked.

A huge thank you is owed to everyone who came out and supported us today. We had a beautiful house filled with beautiful people and beautiful laughter. You - yes, you! - made all of our hard work suddenly make sense. And you didn't laugh when I dropped my mint and had to chase it across the stage. And you clapped real big. And we couldn't love you any more.

After all the networking tonight at Fort Fringe we have some great shows lined up to see, and we'll definitely be posting updates as we go. For now - Fringe 2009 is on! We can't wait for what comes next...

Thought we'd share a little glimpse of rehearsal!
The stunning Gwen Grastorf and Matt Pearson in a scene from cover me in humanness.

We were lucky enough to rehearse in this sun drenched, wonderland-esque room for one day last week. Look at that checkerboard floor!
Isn't it fascinating what a new space can do to a show?

ONE WEEK!

Yesterday we were lucky enough to get a sneak peek at the new Fringe spaces...it's like a magical theatre fortress over there! A maze of old brick and crumbling tiles! There is so much going on and you can really sense the excitement building. It will be amazing to have all of the action bubbling up in such a tight space. The energy should be incredible.

Also of note: Our venue is called Redrum for a reason! Thick, blood red paint covers the floors and walls - it's unbelievable. It will definitely infuse the show with the tension we've been striving for.

One week till opening! If you haven't got your tickets yet, don't wait! We've been getting some great advance press (see below!) and you don't want to miss out...

peace and kevin bacon,
xo
ZOO.
