We're here in the beautiful state of Minnesota. After 30 hours of driving, 3 days in the belly of Chester Lamar (our Chevy Tahoe), and over 2,000 miles, we've finally arrived. And what could be better than to arrive to 3144 Elliot Ave: a three story house where the whole Shelby Company team will be staying, owned by the lovely Eyenga Bokamba. 3144 is an ideal setting for Shelby Company to reside. Much like our living situation back in Santa Cruz, but far more spacious and communal.
The cast and producers arrived mid-day to this wonderful house and host, and set to work. We picked up our Out-of-towners packet at Fringe Central, picked up Director Wren Graves, who has been in Minneapolis two days already promoting the show, and set to work getting groceries for the house and undergoing the enormously difficult task of cutting our script to fit into the time limits of MN Fringe.
In other news, we received a very exciting blog post today by Matthew Everett: "I had to force myself to stop reading it at the end of scene one. Literally force myself. Because i could very easily blow the whole night just reading, and re-reading this script. This is the kind of script that I tried to read over dinner, and I quickjly forgot that I was supposed to eat. My food got cold because my brain didn't want to be bothered with anything other than reading this script." read the whole blog entry here!
Writer Dan Moyer arrives tomorrow morning, and along with his retrieval at the airport, we will locate certain necessary set pieces before tech begins at 2. Then onto the out-of-towners showcase where we will do a special little scene to promote WINNEMUCCA. See you there!
