Mileep and Stuff


h'ok so, its been a minute since i've updated.  and a lot of stuff has been going on.  well, one of the main reasons i have not updated is because i've been busy rehearsing for a show.  that show is now open so i have much more time on my hands.  

since the last time, we have nailed down two fundraisers for our company.  a trivia night in March, and a karaoke night in April.  We've been plotting and planning our big fundraiser for May as well, and we're almost 100% nailed down and settled on a place.  so much to do!!!  there's going to be live entertainment, open bar, raffles, music, so much good stuff, and hopefully all of the proceeds will go back to our company.  we're working now on trying to get alcohol and food donated, so wish us luck.  at the fundraiser, we'll be giving sneak peaks of the shows we've been working on, so it'll be our time to show what we're made of and hopefully hook them into coming to see the actual performance.

"My Cannibal Romance" is getting its makeover recently.  our multi faceted Sarina Richardson has been working on lyrics since we decided to strip the show of previous music and take on the task of writing original music.  so we're on the hunt for a composer that will work with us for free - i know i know, its kind of wishful thinking, but sometimes its not about the money, and some people understand that.  

"The God Effect" has been getting underway as well.  it is an original show written by Ellen and myself about a group of angry spirits or "phantasms" that are upset about their deaths and go to god to confront him about it.  it's been making US crack up as we write it, so hopefully it will be read to our audience as well.  there was a snag in the plan though, i started writing dialogue for the show and accidentally saved over the original file that had all of our information and brainstorming.  luckily we got a large portion of it back thanks to Daniel MF Black who had an original copy.  also, we've taken to taping ourselves talk about it since we usually brainstorm as we're doing other things, and forget to write our brilliant ideas down.  the tapes are pretty funny on their own.

that is it for now.  i leave you with a question: if you rip a hole in space, where do you go?
