The search for space is seriously underway. Actually, it's been under way for a couple of weeks. I've been calling and emailing and looking at different performance spaces in the hopes of booking the location, settling an opening night date, and forcing the rest of the production to happen from there. It's actually a really big leap of faith for me. I definitely have some money in the bank, don't get me wrong, but I haven't come close to my entire budget. In fact, doing the show right now, I'm not sure how I will afford anything in the budget except the performance space. At the same time, I feel like it has to just happen. Along with the tax issue (I need to spend the money that I've raised this year, or get hit with some SERIOUS taxes), I also feel like it is time to do the damn show. I mean I've been talking about it for a year and a half, it's time to (in the words of Alan Shepard, the first American in space) "light this candle." So lighting it I am attempting to do by finding a space and getting this show on the road, off the ground, you know, making it happen.
The search is going well and I actually have a very good lead on a really great place and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it will work out. I'm scheduled to sign the contract and put down the deposit on Monday. So, if all goes according to plan, I will hopefully be posting soon with details of the dates of the performance, and the location...
...and what a location it is - right in the middle of Times Square. Talk about the theater district...Hee!!!
More to come soon.
