We are so proud to announce the we won the theatre competition in this year’s Artspark Festival. Thank you to the HBMG Foundation and its staff for being so generous to us throughout this entire process. And also a huge thanks to our friends and families for supporting us this summer. And we loved seeing your beautiful faces in the audiences for our performances and welcomed your constructive criticism/feedback. Cheers!!! Here is a slideshow from tonight’s awards dinner and a few other pics:
A big thanks to everyone who came out to tonight’s show. It was an amazing experience. I’m sitting in the booth typing away as I pack up to go home, rest and then get up to take a 6:00 a.m flight!
We thoroughly enjoyed the audience feedback during the talkback and appreciate each and every constructive comment we received. Stay tuned for a new and improved experience after our rewrite. Our revised show will be Aug. 16 at 8 p.m. during the new moon. Ana-Lara got us up-to-date on the lunar cycles!
We are in speed run-throughs this afternoon before our show tonight. Dino and Melissa are singing the remix to one of our original songs written by Ashleigh Stone. Wu, Flow, kt and Ana are out on a smoke break. Where’s Stacie? I’m on the computer…
Dino and Melissa taking a break today…
