So our first performance in the building went very well.
The Staged Reading of Annie Martin’s new untitled comedy was very well received, which was very exciting.
Also, and possibly even more exciting, was the fact that we performed it in front of a packed house.
Packed to the rafters.
Packed to the rafters in a “Holy shit we don’t have enough chairs and have to get office furniture down here!” kinda way!
Packed to the rafters in a “Folks, we’ll get started in just a couple of minutes, because we still have people coming in and we’re borrowing chairs from down the street to seat everyone!” kinda way!
Our first audience in our new building. And we literally had standing room only.
So, that was pretty awesome.
Overwhelming. Humbling. Encouraging.
And freaking awesome.
Yea!!! Thats so exciting!!!!
Thanks! Let’s talk about that job possibility soon!
Definatly π
I need some sanity after this show I’m doing now.
Congratulations
Congratulations. That is fantastic news. Glad to hear everything went so well.

Re: Congratulations
Thanks! Hey, I got that catalog – did I tell you? (I’m getting old, the memory’s going…) We’ll be going over it, but it’s gonna be a bit before we can afford anything in it! Do you have a dimmer pack that I can get for $1.97? That’s what I’ve got in my change dish…
Catalog
Glad you got the Catalog. Sorry it took so long to get it to you.
Give me a call when you have a few minutes. I’d like to hear how the building is coming. If possible you should post pics from your events. I and I’m sure others would like to see them.
Take care and we’ll talk soon.

Oh, that’s so wonderful! Congratulations π
Thanks Mary! And, just so you know, our programs were printed out on some wonderful Office Max paper! π
Congrats! Glad to hear the reading went well. I’m sure more great stuff is on the way. We had a good opening weekend here at the Rose, so it sounds like it’s been a rewarding weekend for Michigan theatre in general.
Hooray for theatre in Michigan! Go Mitten State! (Okay, nobody calls it that, but what the heck…)
i had a dream last night that i was watching some program on tv about theatre, and there was this woman representing williamston theatre…that’s actually the only thing i remember about the dream…it must be some sort of sign……….
Really? Was she an attractive short woman with brown hair, because I had a dream with her in it too…
Oh yay I’m so glad! I would have been there too if I could have.
Well, come on out to the next one! February 9th is our next open house, and Feb 25th is the next reading! π
