Posted project update #22We're home...!
Post Comment...with sold out houses & standing ovations to show for it! Our time at the New York Fringe was madcap, exhausting, and wildly rewarding. Though not everyone's cuppa tea, HSU was received with overwhelming appreciation by audiences & critics alike. We've compiled links to some of our reviews to give you a taste of the sweetest (and some bitter) responses:

Posted project update #21The word on the street...
...is that Hamlet Shut Up is something not to be missed at the NYC Fringe Festival!
We opened last night to a full house, having turned away an estimated 30 or more at the door (we hope they come back!). One standing ovation later and our 1st Fringe performance is finally under our belts!
Continuing to work hard promoting the show with street teams out postcarding the city, doing good & having fun. Further word when we wrap up the run. Until then...
Ever,
Your Fools

Posted project update #20Monday Morning VICTORY Report!
Hello all you beautiful people!
As of noon today, we've officially concluded our Kick campaign...and thanks to YOU the cast and crew of Hamlet Shut Up is ALREADY on the road to the Big Apple!
Our Los Angeles remount rocked the house tremendously. And as we loaded up the van (your van) last night, there was more than one expression of "This is actually happening" and "I can't believe we made it, it's here". It was as if the presence of the van, packed high with set & props & costumes & hopes & well wishes made it real, finally. Not just a dream.
IPhone pictures from the road are already trickling in, and further updates to come.
So, thank you. For everything. We couldn't be doing this without you.
Ever Yours,
The Fools of Hamlet Shut Up-

Posted project update #18The AWESOME continuing support...
Post CommentWOW!
99 backers, $25 away from breaking $4K...and still 7 days to go before noon on August 9th! HSU threw out an unofficial "new" goal of $5000 to help cover additional production expenses, like publicity & the building of the New York set. And the community has answered the call!
Thank you for your continuing support, coming out to see the LA remount, your enthusiasm & faith!
Tickets & info for the current LA show can be found at www.hamletshutup.com OR www.sacredfools.org.
Sincerely,
