The show is now over.  We had an amazing time, and created a show that exceeded my expectations - in talent, feedback and ultimate meaning.  We're hoping to expand the show, so if you want to see it come to a theatre near you (and maybe can make that happen?) let us know!

So I was reminded that last night was actually the full moon.  And it was certainly our most challenging performance to date.  A lot of it was spin dealing with technical challenges before we opened; and also after our high of performing to a full house on Tuesday, last night our audience number was inexplicably halved, which reduced the energy in the house.

And a full house.  What a combo.  A bit rusty, since we had not been in the space for four days - and then we had all sorts of tech issues to deal with:  the light plot had changed (the other company performing over the weekend had left); their set we were used to performing within was now gone; and then we forgot a significant hand-lighting prop for the shadow puppetry piece, and had to redo the ending sequence 10 minutes before the house opened.  Actors were literally still changing and then walking up to join the drumming as we opened the house. 

Wow, what a response we've had.  Even granted that people who stay for the question and answer period are going to be inclined towards liking the show, the positive feedback has been a little overwhelming.  But I'm not complaining....
