the show, that is. My reactions? All in all I thought it was a good product. Both were thematically tied and well executed with simplicity. The audiences we had were fab but we could have had more. It certainly wasn’t from the lack of promotion. May is just tough around these parts. That coupled with da Big No’s propensity for lastminute-itist sort of determined that only half the potential audience that we should have got …
Yep, 2 more shows to go before we close. I’m glad I did it for a myriad of reasons. Doing it was part of my bounce back. I got to retool the show… though I’m still not taking it on tour as some have suggested. Good but small audiences so far. The next couple of performances hold the promise of a bigger house. And once it is all done I will probably not be on …
We have 3 performances left. The first 3 went well and we totally appreciate the audiences who turned up for those performances. Sure, when we first decided to do the show and scheduled it we knew we were up against a lot – the month of May is jammed packed around these here parts. But come on Fresno… really? This is a city of over half a million. Top 10 reasons to attend “Pho For …
As I wrote on Facebook last night before I hit the sack. first one down. not bad. I got through it. 5 more to go. It gets better. That’s what I’m counting this week.
Just got done rehearsing the final cut of the show. I think this retooling will work. I decided to drop one of the stories in my show from the original. The reason? Well, seeing that we all seem to be in the mood for censorship today… LOL! Actually, last night, as I was rehearsing, one story kept sticking out like a sore thumb. Though in itself it is a pretty good story it just seemed …
Tech rehearsal last night was… well… Johnnie is gonna be great. For my part there is still retooling to be done… both on the show and my performance. So that means a flurry of rewrites this morning and spending the rest of the time before opening committing it to my noggin. My friend, RP, remarked last night, “Dude… you had that sucker down!” Well, yeah… I did… 4 years ago. This is going to be …
… would be an understatement. Yep, and there is still more to go… much more.. From the time I awake till I hit the sack the last few days have been filled with one thing or another. I’m plodding through though. My “rehearsal process” of late has been to listen to old Malay songs while I work and rework the show. Just to provide a sense of time and place… since that is part of …
Mango trees and fathers link two works Posted at 12:00 AM on Sunday, May. 02, 2010 When Marcel Nunis, a Fresno playwright and producer, was what he calls a “young runt” in theater, he always sought the biggest possible venues for his shows. Over the years, however, he has come to prefer smaller spaces. “The limitations in an intimate theater actually force performers to be more creative and theatrical,” he says. “It’s how to do …
My cell phone rings… ok, my ringtone is “Pick Up The Pieces” by the Average White Band. I flip it open. Me: Jello! Katherine: It’s me Katherine! Me: Hey, how is it going? How is Minnesota? Katherine: I miss you guys… I miss the Rogue! I wanna come back. Me: Well, get a show together and come next year. Katherine: How is your show? Me: Which show? Katherine: The one you posted on Facebook. You …
