While I was out to lunch yesterday I learned that my producer, Ginger, got the entire company a table at the Barrymore Awards. In case you don't know what these awards are, they're pretty much the Philadelphia version of the Tonys. They're awards for excellence in theater in the greater Philadelphia area. More than anything else they're a chance for people in the business to say hello and catch up and maybe get a little work or something, and I'm all for that. My concern is that Ginger was so convinced that Extremities would be nominated for something. To our disappointment it was not. in any category. It was a bummer but I'm not sure if that makes it entirely unclassy to show up with the whole company. I'm not really sure. Either way it'll be fun. I figure, at the very least it's free food and drink and a night of free theater. And I certainly plan to do what everyone else does. Shmooze.
Talk Radio production meeting has been set to Tuesday so I have to start prepping for that. That'll be a Monday project. I've got 2 different quotes and I'm looking at a third company but I think I've made my choice already as far as who I'm going to rent from. I have this idea that part of New City's agenda is to give people opportunity, but then again, it's not my company. Either way, I think a show like this needs a more personal touch so I'm kind of steering away from the big rental houses. I felt like I needed a person who could be another set of ears for me while I'm getting the system together and someone who could double check me because it's such a big job.
