"What's past is prologue."

During the last week of every season, I spend a very pleasant afternoon at Moe's, eating lots of chips and meeting with the actors.  It's a chance for me to thank them for their work and for them to tell me how we might improve the Festival.  At these postmortems, I learn a lot about the Festival that I don't know - and always come away inspired.

This year, the issue that kept surfacing was that the Festival doesn't do much with social media.  These actors were rightfully proud of the work produced here and wanted more people to know about it.  So, I promised to learn more about websites and Facebook and Twitter.  And I made up my mind to blog.

What I hope to do is give you a little insight into the inner workings of the Festival - stuff you may not know about how we choose a season, audition actors, create the "look" of a show, rehearse four productions at once, prepare to perform in extreme heat or rain, and so forth.


I'll be back at the next posting to talk about choosing a season.  Stay tuned...
