We Can't Reach You, Hartford An investigative history of the Hartford Circus Fire of July 6th, 1944. Nominated for a Fringe First at the 2006 Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Daguerreotype In the twilight of his life, famed photographer Matthew Brady must choose between the life he has built and the legacy he wants to leave behind. Tone Clusters Renowned prose author Joyce Carol Oates explores honesty, perspective, and denial through one couple's harrowing attempt to save the person they love Monday, August 06, 2007 "a lot of promise for reviving historical theater and reminding us of how we once were" We got our first review! Aaron Riccio, of Show Showdown, came to Saturday's matinee, and wrote us a constructive, thoughtful, and ultimately inspiring review. Some of our favorite parts excerpted below: "The energy and passion make for an exciting bit of theater." "...a trio of actors working together to unfreeze the still images of the past, riding the waves of time with vibrant rhapsody." "The American Story Project's ambitious Daguerreotype creates a fine latent image by focusing on Mathew Brady and then branching out to the Civil War and the question "What is history?" Also, my personal favorite: "an agile, but indistinct Zach LeClair." We're waiting for more reviews (we hope!) to come, but in the meantime, having even one outsider with good things to say should help us immensely. Today saw another marketing coup, this one completely inexplicable: SmartTix, the host for our online ticket sales, bought us an ad on its front page for no reason whatsoever. It's thrilling, of course, though it did cause Elissa and me some confusion when we realized neither of us had organized it. We've had some complete strangers come to the show, and it's always fantastic to see them; hopefully this will bring in more people who are just wondering what it's all about. There's so much to report from the weekend's run-- three sold-out performances of Lunchbox, all of Jess's elementary school teachers coming for Sunday's matinee, plenty of familiar and supportive faces coming for every performance-- but maybe I'll leave that to some of the others? In the meantime, see you in the box office! posted by Katey @ 1:29 PM   0 Comments: Post a Comment << Home   Who We Are Jess Chayes—Artistic Director, Founder Katey Rich—Managing Director Tori Amoscato—Resident Stage Manager, Actor Stephen Aubrey—Resident Dramaturg, Playwright Edward Bauer—Resident Actor Nick Benacerraf—Resident Scenic Designer Jonathan Elliott—Publicity Manager Scott Elmegreen—Resident Composer Mike James—Resident Graphic Designer, Actor Elissa Kozlov—Founder, Associate Artist Greg Malen—Resident Lighting Designer Rachel Silverman—Associate Producer Hayley Stokar—Resident Actor Previous Posts notes from the box office The Beginning! opening niiiiight... it was opening niiiiiight!
