The Two Month Update
July 31, 2009
After a few months of a blogosphere hiatus, the Mind the Gap Productions blog is back now to what is to be a regular updating fashion.
While things have been silent on here for the past few months, we have certainly been incredibly busy.
First and foremost we have been reviewing plays, acting resumes, and designing portfolios for our inaugural season. While we have received a plethora of submissions, that doesn’t mean that we wouldn’t like to see even more. If you’re a playwright, actor, designer, carpenter, or jack-of-all trades, feel free to send your information to mindthegapproductions@gmail.com.
This last July we officially kicked off our Staged Reading Series with Middle East Side Story by our own Helen Buck and Amy Lu Charles. The event, held at the Black Rock Pub & Kitchen as it will be for quite some time, was a rousing success full of excellent feedback, a tiny bit of very welcome donations, and good times had by all. We did sell the kitchen out of mini-burgers before the reading even began, so hopefully by the next reading there will be more in stock.
Speaking of the next reading, on August 31st we will be featuring the stage reading of Equilibrium by one of Chicago’s newest transplants, Kellye Blosser. The play is about the arrival of a new professor at Santa Fe University and the Darwinian battle that rages for his affection.
On a final note, Mind the Gap Productions will be working in conjunction with Heritage Praire Farm in Elburn, Illinois to present an event entitled A Midsummer Nights Dream Farm Feast. We will be producing a shortened version of A Midsummer Nights Dream as well as supplying entertainment before, during, and after said farm feast. We are incredibly excited for this opportunity to work with Heritage Praire Farm and to make our first official live and memorized stage debut.
More info will come on a weekly basis, so be sure to check back often for whatever craziness we’ve gotten ourselves into.
